Update
Hello blog.
Been a while. I need to try and write more. So, we made it through Ana's birthday. It was a good day and we felt surrounded by love and support as we celebrated our daughter. Since then, spring has sprung in New England (for the most part). We continue to try and get pregnant. I've now been off birth control three months. I have had three, regular cycles! I've ovulated each time as well! This is a big feat for someone with PCOS. The metformin is working. Taking those three months to regulate on birth control was the right choice, just wish I had done it earlier. I know now that I wasn't ready to get pregnant until we past Ana's first birthday. I was not emotionally in the right place. We've been trying for a year (including the three months of birth control). That's been hard to wrap my mind around, but I try and remember that I've only been ovulating for three months. It took us four to get pregnant with Ana, and it can take a healthy couple a year to conceive. Remembering this helps keep me sane.
I made an appointment with my OB, the same OB who delivered Ana. I love her. However she is booked, and I'm not able to get in until July. But, that does give us three more months to try, and if by then we still haven't gotten pregnant we can talk about our options with her. I think I have a cyst. I'm getting an ultrasound to check it out, but my doc said it doesn't affect my fertility. I do have PCOS, (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) so it wouldn't be surprising. I also found out today I have lost 22lbs since last summer. I am happy with that, as is my doctor. I've been gluten free since Aug/Sept and that has really helped. I'm really not "trying" to lose weight, but it's happening. Now that it's nice out I'm going to up my exercise and try to get some more off. Also helps with my fertility, and my doc is so proud of me!
That's whats going on in my life. Missing my sweet girl, hopeful for my rainbow. I've begun dreaming of my rainbow baby (I see him as a boy). And they're not nightmares either! It's nice. :)
