 Newbie here! Hello Everyone!
This is my first time to this site and I'm really hoping that this could be some relief in my life right now.
My name is Kim and I'm 26 years old. I've been married for 5 1/2 years to my wonderful husband who is also in the US Air Force. We're currently stationed in NC and have been for the past 4 years. Oddly enough, we've been TTC since we got married. I knew since I was 15 that something was wrong with me. I got put on BC when I was 16 because I stopped having cycles. It seemed like every few years I had to change BC because they stopped working at producing cycles, but oddly enough my doctors thought nothing of it and wouldn't do any tests. Upon getting married, the first year off my BC I would bleed on and off and it lasted a year. Once that finally stopped, I didn't have a period for a year. Finally one of my doctors gave me progesterone to take for a week and I started. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I was diagnosed with PCOS, even though I knew I have had it for a while. The infertility specialist I was seeing on base did nothing but throw Metformin my way. He never metioned tests or anything. So I stopped seeing him. I started having cycle problems again and finally my gynecologist told me to go back and see him, since we were still trying to conceive. This time he ordered tests and everything was normal. He even tested DH but his tests came out poor. After the infertility specialist deployed and then I found out I couldn't get reffered to anyone else my husband and I gave up on getting infertility help.
This past year, my husband and I bought a house and we finally lived far enough from the base that I could start seeing all my doctors off base. Upon doing so, I found out I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, I'm also a pre-diabetic, and my cycles still were out of whack. I was referred to an infertility specialist in Raleigh of January of this year. He once again put me on Metformin (which I hate taking because it really screws with my blood sugars). He also told me that I don't ovulate. We re-tested DH and it turns out his results were perfect. So the problem lies with me. No pressure, right? Wrong! The doctor has been giving me Provera every other month to induce cycles and then also has told me to loose weight. Since I've been seeing him, I've lost 10 lbs which now puts me at 296. He said I need to loose 10 more pounds in order to be put on Clomid. Well, actually he said he would put me on them now if he wants but my DH wants me to loose 10 more lbs so I can have a better chance. This is so frustrating though, because it seems like the more I try to take care of myself by eating right and exercising things just keep happening and I gain weight or fluid and I never loose it all again intime to see the doctor again.
My husband came home in August from a deployment and I actually cycled without the use of medications except Metformin. September has come and gone and the whole month of September and even now, I haven't been feeling well and my energy level is pretty low. I took a pregnancy test on Saturday and it came back positive, but it was extremely light. I took another test on Sunday and it was negative. I'm extremely broken hearted. Never before in all my times of taking pregnancy tests have I had one come back positive.
Now, I don't know what to do. I'm trying to tackle this infertility thing again full force. I guess that false positive was just what I needed to get myself back on track. I went out to Walmart yesterday and I bought a different brand of pregnancy tests and a basal thermometor. I've never charted my temps or anything before and I'm not quite sure what to do. I always thought my cycles were to screwed up to do that. My doctor hasn't even mentioned anything to me about do that. But now I'm desperate! I'm even vowing to go to the gym again 3 times a week and really stick to eating well. My husband and I have been trying out a Weight Watchers cook book, but I'm usually to tired to cook with everything else I do. I'm a full time student and have 8 animals that I take care of on a daily basis, not to mention house work. My husband also works 3rd shift so I don't get much help.
I know this is a long read, but I haven't been able to sleep much tonight because of everything that has happend. I have so much on my mind and everytime I think about that blasted pregnancy test I start to cry. I'm really hoping I can get lots of information off of these message boards, be supportive of others, and especially get the support that I so desperatly need that DH doesn't know how to handle all the time.
Thanks for Reading!
