Going somewhere finally?

I think finally I will be getting the answers I have been looking for. I saw my new OBGYN, Dr Crawford, yesterday. He is awesome. He has over 30 years of experience and is eager to help me out. Once again, I have more bloodwork and another ultrasound, but then we will begin this process. This is going to be a long, stressful road. Dr Crawford think I need my ovaries drilled, AKA Ovarian Diathermy. In a nutshell, this destroys part of the ovaries and then they CAN restore normal ovulation function. This works 80% of the time for ovulation, 50% for pregnancy. I am a good candidate because I have lost a fair amount of weight and have tried medication and still have no luck. We will talk more in depth about this at my next appointment in 3 weeks, but I think we are going to go for it. I have nothing to lose and it could be the answer. We are also going to start a schedule. I am charting everything that happens during my cycle and after this cycle and after all the tests come back, we will start medication. We will start with probably 100mg of Clomid (yuck) and 200mg of Prometrium. (Remember when my old Dr in KY said only an RE could prescribe progesterone? She was wrong.) Dr Crawford has had a good success rate with these medications, so I trust him. I hated Clomid at 50 mg, but he said he can give me medication to offset the side effects. This Dr was so positive and just had an awesome outlook! I started to feel hopeless and negative, but I think once we get moving on this, I will become positive again. I am nervous about the Diathermy, but depending on how much needs to be done, recovery is easy. Dr Crawford suggested that I probably also have Luteal Phase Defect (Also, remember my OBGYN in KY said it is nearly impossible to diagnose this? Wrong again.) and maybe Endometriosis. I don't think I have Endo because I have had so many ultrasounds done and the lining of my uterus is always within normal range. When I get the Diathermy done, they will also take a piece of the uterus to get an accurate check. This could be why I always am having pain, on top of my cyst pain.

So that is basically it for now, but this is BIG news! I think it's the most news we have had in a long time! I really hope this is going somewhere! It is time!

new dr update

i got to see my new primary care physician yesterday and she rocks. she got all my meds set up right and knows about pcos. she is happy with the choice ive made with my obgyn, who i see the sixteenth. but i have a nasy sinus infection. i went to urgent care a week ago and had been feeling better, but after julie, my dr, looked into my nose and ears she was shocked. she said my nose looked like raw steak and my ears were inflammed and had fluid still. so two more weeks of antibiotics. on to the pcos, something is not right. i am thinking its getting worse. for about two weeks, every day i have pain. the pain usually sticks to the right ovary, but my left one hurts too. my body also feels like someone rubbed icy hot all over it. damn hormones. im anxious to see my new obgyn, dr crawford, next week. i have heard fabulous things about him and hopefully will have good news. oh i also saw my behavior health dr, dr littel, and he is awesome too. he is totally on board with my taper method off my anxiety meds, yay.
