We're Pregnant!!

After trying for a year and a half we finally got our BFP on Saturday, November 27. I actually took at HPT on Friday and threw it in the trash before reading it. Saturday morning, after using the bathroom of course, I decided it might be a good idea to actually read it. It was positive. I immediately freaked out and talked myself out of it. I just knew it was an evaporation line. I even called my BFF, Mrs. B., and asked for her opinion. Her advice...google. it. haha. Which actually ended up being pretty good advice considering I couldn't think for myself. After seeing numerous evaporation lines, I quickly realized mine was anything but. I retested about 30 minutes later and sure enough BFP! I've been completely ecstatic ever since.

Today I went for my confirmation appointment with Dr. Marden. It was kind of funny when he first saw me...he didn't know I was pregnant. When he came into the room he teasingly asked me what I was doing there and if I'm pregnant and when I responded yes, he was completely shocked. The lady at the front desk (who I talked to on Monday) didn't tell him and so I think it kind of hurt his feelings. I was really hoping for an ultrasound but he said it's still too early to see anything. :( I really love Dr. Marden and hate that I have to go to someone else since he doesn't deliver anymore. I go for my first ob appointment on Friday, December 10. I'm freaking excited. I've heard nothing but great things to the group I'll be going to and I'm hoping we'll get to see the baby.

Let the fun begin...

On September 21 I had my ovaries drilled and he checked my tubes to make sure they were cleared...and I'm glad to say, I'm 99% healed. I still have a one or two (liquid) stitches left but Dr. Marden said my incision (inside my belly button) looks great!! He was really happy with the results of the procedure. He was able to drill 8-10 holes in each ovary and my tubes were clear. He also said that sometimes there can be tissue not fully blocking the tubes and when he shoots the dye through it can push the tissue out and help increase the chance of getting pregnant. I'm so glad I decided to take the rest of the week off after my procedure because I know I wouldn't have been able to work. I had read several different people's experiences online and a few went back to work a day or two after. Let me just say, there was no way I was going back. I was extremely sore,but nothing pain meds couldn't take care of. :) I had my follow up appointment on Friday and Dr. Marden prescribed "fun sex" and "lots of it". I could have died!! I'm sure my face was super red!! Then he went on to say to make sure not to "wear my husband out" and "make it fun". Ok...that's enough. haha. I don't have to go back for 3 months...but hoping to see him sooner with a BFP! :)

I've been tagged!

My BFF, Mrs. B, tagged me in this game.

Here's what you do- answer the eight questions that the person who tagged you made up, then make up your own NEW eight questions to tag others to answer. Whoever I tag will answer the eight questions I make up for them, then they create a new set of eight questions to tag a few others with, and so on.

But, since I practically have no followers...I won't be tagging anyone else or creating a new set of questions.

1. What's the one place you want to visit before you die?
Europe. I had the opportunity to go in High School and my parents gave me the choice between Europe and a car. I took the car. haha.

2. What's your dream job? To be a stay at home mom.

3. Are you doing it? nope...I'm not sure we would be able to afford if we did have kids. :(

4. Who is one person you look up to? I have to agree with Ashley, everyone that is close to me has certain qualities that I admire.

5. What's your favorite holiday and why? Christmas. I love pretty much everything about it! The shopping, the hustle and bustle, spending time with the family, the weather, the music, and most importantly the reason for the season. :)

6. If you could go back in time, what era would go to? hrm. I have no idea...

7. If you could have dinner with any two people, dead or alive, who would they be? Judy Garland (I'm a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan) and Channing Tatum (just because he's gorgeous!!).

8. Annnnnd what's your favorite color? :) Pink!!

tests results...

So, after I posted my most recent post I went back and read some of my previous posts and realized that I didn't update you on somethings.

-my state board test was as badly as I had suspected. I went down a level, but the awesome county I work for decided to let me keep my hourly rate. :) I plan to retake the test when I feel ready, hopefully I'll do better.

-Nathan had his sperm analysis and everything came back great. So, now we just have to get me straightened out.

-Foster Care. Right now Nathan has decided he wants to wait, not only on Foster Care but on Adoption too. He wants to make sure we've tried everything to have own our child. If we are told it's a slim chance for us to have our own biological children I'm sure he'll reconsider.

I think that's it...now you're up to pace. :)

My recent doctor's appointment

I finished up my third round of Clomid this cycle and was having some right side pain that felt a lot like a cyst (which is one of the side effects of Clomid). I called my doctor (on Wednesday) and the nurse (who I adore!) said if the pain continues to call back tomorrow and make an appointment. So, on Thursday I called and got an appointment for an ultrasound...let me just say, not fun!! As much as I hate having an internal ultrasound performed this one was probably the best one I've had so far (and the most painful). Crazy, I know but my doctor showed me everything he also complimented me by saying "You have beautiful PCOS ovaries!". haha. anyway. I had been drinking Blueberry Pomegranate juice by Minute Maid for my lining (and another side effect of Clomid is thinning of lining) and mine measured 10 mm (8-13mm is good)! I was so excited I was doing something right!! He measured my ovaries and everything looked good. We also talked about ovarian drilling and doing a HSG (to make sure my tubes are cleared). I go back on Sept 2 to schedule these procedures, he said they can be done the same day. I'm hoping and praying that I'll get pregnant this cycle so I won't have to go through with these procedures, but if they'll help me get pregnant...I'm gonna do it. :)

School is back in session and it's been nothing but crazy!! It's been so hot we've been on a heat schedule which means early dismissal. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving leaving at 1:30...but I know my paycheck is going to suffer from it. :( I have been completely exhausted in the evenings and most days come home and crash. I'm in the classroom signing from like 8:30 to 11:50 nonstop. The second part of the day I'm in a different classroom that's a little more relaxed and not so fast pace.

I, along with everyone else it seems, can't wait for fall!! I really don't have a favorite season because it seems like when the current season is coming to an end I'm so ready for the next to approach. Nathan is a huge football fan so I'm sure he'll be dragging me to all the football games. I really don't mind going I just don't understand football so I tend to get on his nerves asking questions. haha. He has tickets to go the University of Oregon vs. Tennessee game with a few of his buddies and he is so excited!! He's a HUGE ducks fan!! Me and my bff, Mrs. B already have plans for a girls day out that day so I'm probably equally excited for him to be going. :)

Terrific Thursday?

Today I had the day off. woohoo, right? umm...not so much. One of my closest friends from high school (a click member) is getting married in a few weeks and I took the day off to get my bridesmaid's dress altered. Everyone who has ever had to have their dress altered knows you have to take your shoes. Well..the only problem was, I didn't have shoes to take. :( I had ordered my shoes online about a week or so ago thinking they would be here for my appointment (the estimated delivery date was for the 27th). So this morning while I was getting ready I was frantically checking the tracking on it every 5 minutes or so (no lie). I even considered following the UPS truck that kept circling our neighborhood. I finally got frustrated and call UPS. After going through all of the press one's and say this for that I get a real human to talk to. She tells me that UPS won't be delivering my shoes to my house (oh no...because that would make way too much sense), instead the would be delivering it my local post office and then the post office would deliver it. Seriously? So, then I call the post office. After calling about 15 times and it being busy...I finally get through. The ever so friendly lady *sarcasm* on the other end asks if I have a tracking number from the post office, and of course I didn't. And since I didn't have a post office tracking number she couldn't help me...at all. So, while she thought I was thanking her for her help, which it started out that way...and ended with a "thanks for nothing", I had a Clomid cry. Yep...I cried for like 15 minutes over shoes that I don't even like.

So far that's the only side effect I've had from the Clomid. Today is my third day on it and I think I can handle crying over stupid stuff. To be honest, I was more worried about the hot flashes than the mood swings. I guess I'll see for sure if mood swings are it for me, we have a field trip tomorrow (planting trees all day long) and after work I have a slumber party to go to. ;)

Ok, back to my sucky day. So, I get to David's Bridal everything is fine. The lady gives me a pair of shoes with the same heel height and get to work. When I ordered my dress I ordered the same size I did for Mrs. B's wedding, which was back in November, thinking it would be ok (I was told by a lady at DB that dress was made small). I was so wrong. She pretty much has to take it up everywhere. So far, my dress and shoes for this wedding has come to *drum roll please* close to $350. I will be getting my money's worth out of the dress. haha. I plan to mow and sleep in it if I have to..but I will be getting some wear out of it. Thank God it's comfortable...that's all I got to say!

Today I leave you with a picture of "the click" from my wedding. This is probably my favorite picture of us. :) Aren't they gorgeous??



Mrs. B (Tiff), Nisey (the bride to be), Britt, and Pris.

feeling the need to update...

So...today I came home from a crazy day at work...and a crazy day at daycare (work again) to see pretty much everyone that I follow updated today. I feel somewhat obligated to update, not that I don't want to, I feel that I NEED to. haha :)

I changed my doctor's appointment from Monday (Nathan's bday) to Friday. Everything went great! I swear, If anyone is in our area and needs a great Gyno, I highly recommend mine! He asked how I was doing on the metformin and I told him I was having a hard time on the 1500mg and so he decreased me to 1000mg. This maybe TMI for you all, but for the month of March AF visited twice. I was NOT happy!! So, come to find out, I was taking too much metformin. Thank God all of that was figured out.

He also asked me how I felt about Clomid (I swear...it's almost as if he can read my mind). I was kinda shocked!! I honestly didn't think he would prescribe me Clomid since he is just my Gyno and not a RE...AND he wanted MY opinion?? WOW! I mean...really how many doctor's ask you, what you want and what do you think? I'm so freaking excited to start taking it. :) I know it has terrible side effects (mostly menopausal side effects; hot flashes, mood swings etc.) but, the sooner I take it...the sooner, hopefully, I will be pregnant. :) I have to wait until CD 3-7 to start taking so it will be a few more days, but don't worry, I'll keep you updated. (This is the meds I was talking about in a previous post that increases the chance of having twins.)

Now...the not so fun part, for Nathan anyway. He ordered a semen analysis. Yeah...Nathan wasn't too thrilled about it at first...but then I explain we can do it at home and he doesn't have to go into the doctor's office. He's dealing with it a little better now. :) I also told him that this was pretty much all he has to do, a woman has to have terrible stuff done to her at least once a year (for me...more like 3 times a year), this is the least he can do. So hopefully *pray* the results are good.

The doctor also told me I needed to stick with my diet, I had been slacking for the last couple of weeks or so. :( I know I know...I did really good when I was on it, it's just so hard for me to stick with it. Working at the daycare after school makes it so hard. By the time I get there after school I'm starving, I need to buy some healthy snacks and just leave them there. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of eating healthy.

Foster Care.

Lately I have been thinking (A LOT) about becoming a foster parent. I kind of feel led to become one (he's doesn't feel as strongly about it as I do). I feel like it would give us a child (hopefully an infant) who is in need of a loving home...AND relieve us of the pressure and stress trying to conceive has brought on. We have talked a little about it before and it seems his concern is getting attached and then the child going back. I have talked to a few foster moms who say that it's impossible to not get attached...but if they are placed back in their home with their birth parents you have to believe that is what's best for the child. I have been thinking about this for awhile...but I seem to think about it more when I get a BFN or when AF arrives and I know I'm not pregnant. I don't want to "replace" our unborn child...or whatever. I just feel, like I said before, it would take the stress off of us (me), and we would have someone else to take care of and worry about other than conceiving.

Working at the daycare I have been exposed to A LOT of foster kids and foster parents...and their stories. Some are sweet success stories...some...not so much. Actually while I was working with an infant...Social Services (we had no idea) came in and removed her. It broke my heart for her, but I knew she would be better off.

When Nathan and I were dating (and even now)his great-grandmother would ask if I would ever become a foster parent. Back then, I was hesitant about it and really didn't consider it. Now that I know we are having such a hard time conceiving, I would do it in a second (not only for our benefit...but most importantly for the child's benefit). When she asked me that, Nathan's cousin's were foster parents who were trying to adopt their foster child. It was a very long process. She heard all of the stress and struggles they were going through and said that she didn't know if she could handle having a child in her life and then that child out of her life. I get where she's coming from but at the same time I don't. Yeah...I'm sure I would get super attached, but these kids NEED someone who loves them and can provide for them.

As you can see I'm really struggling with this. Nathan isn't as "on board" with this as I am. Don't worry...I would never go behind him and proceed with the process. I just have a lot on my mind...

So, What's your take on this? I know it may not be what I want to hear...but go for it. I need some honest opinions. :)

venting...again!

So, all of you know that we are trying to get pregnant and are having a hard time. It's extremely frustrating. Not only is it the most stressful thing I've ever been through...but it sucking the fun out of sex. Yeah...you heard right...sucking the fun out of sex!! I honestly never thought that would happen but, we have definitely reached that point. I know that's one of the major "rules" of trying is to keep it fun, but when you have to check everything to see if it's the "right time", how fun is that?? My poor husband feels like a tool (his words not mine) and I can't say that I blame him. I think he secretly likes it, but don't tell him I said that. haha

Not only is trying frustrating but what makes it worse...EVERYONE AROUND US IS PREGNANT!! I can seriously name at least 25 women who are pregnant. I know it always seems that way...when you want something everyone else in the world has it, but this is seriously our lives right now! I have to admit I'm a little jealous because this is something we have been trying so long to achieve (it feels that way at least). I'm really happy for those who are pregnant, don't get me wrong, but I just feel like it isn't fair. Why can't we be pregnant too?

Then...there are those people who feel sorry for us but yet want to give us advice. I mean...really?!?!?! I know they say things because they honestly don't know what else to say...or they are afraid of hurting our feelings, but, I mean really, you don't have kids and you're giving me advice on how to conceive one? Or...if they aren't giving advice...then they give "words of wisdom" so to speak. "Maybe it just isn't your time"...or (my favorite) "It will happen when it's suppose to". Ok...what time is that exactly...and can you make sure to tell my body so it will be ovulating that day??

I don't mind when people ask me how to process is going most of the time...I just hate how they respond to it. The conversation is always pretty much the same. They ask when I go back to the doctor, then they ask what will the doctor do next, and lastly they always end in "words of wisdom", their own personal conception story, or their friend's story.

Isn't funny how you never hear of anyone having PCOS or taking the same medicine that you're on until you're on it...or the medicine you will be taking?? Recently, I was talking to someone and she asked what the doctor would do next and I told her probably a sperm analysis and then he would put me on Clomid. She then preceded to WARN me about how her friend was on Clomid and became pregnant with twins!! Ok...so let's get this straight...I, right now, can't get pregnant with one and you're WARNING me I could get pregnant with two? And that's a bad thing how??? And...most of the time when they are telling you about this "friend", really isn't their personal "friend". It ends up being their BFF's cousin's uncle's sister-in-law's daughter's baby's daddy's first wife...or something crazy like that. (FYI--Clomid does increase the chance of having twins by 10% and triplets by 1%)

I'm sure you all are probably thinking something happened today or recently and it actually hasn't. haha I've had a pretty good day...just started thinking about things and how people react to them. I seriously hope I didn't step on any toes!! I really appreciate those of you who do understand where I'm coming from and who have helped me during this difficult time. I'm sure it will pass...it just isn't passing fast enough. But I guess all good things come in time (another "words of wisdom" I've been told).

Congrats to all of you who are pregnant or who have recently delivered. Never take a single second for granted!!

A New Look...

Recently, I've been going through some really rough times in my life and have decided to try my best to be myself. I know you all are probably thinking that's crazy...it should come naturally for someone to just be their own self. For me, it's been a real struggle lately. I always feel like I have to please others before pleasing myself and somehow I end up changing to achieve that. Well...no more! I'm trying my best to be me and love myself in the process. I feel like for the past couple of months or so I have completely lost who I am due to this fact. That's where the new blog title came from. No more making everyone else around me happy just so I can be miserable. I know I'll probably step on some toes along the way...but, to be honest, I don't care. I'm tired of changing to adapt to everyone else. Why don't everyone else change to adapt to me?? It isn't fair! I just recently (very recently) realized this. I have also just realized that I have only changed in a few aspects of my life. I feel I can be myself more around certain people than others. I know that all people change as they become older but I want my change to be for me and for the better, not the worse.

As you can tell I've been going though a lot lately. Most of it is pretty personal stuff that I really don't want to share to the whole wide world, but I will share the work aspect of it. Ok...so I'm a sign language interpreter in a school system. Here in Virginia we have to take a performance test every 3 years. This test is a 2 part test with 3 segments in each part. Very difficult. Last weekend I had to drive to Richmond (with my parents because Mr. C didn't want to ask off from work) to take this horrible test. I was really stressed over it...well...still am. How I do on this test influences my pay. Yep...that's right, how well I do effects my hourly wages. If I increase a level (now I'm a level II) I will get a pay increase, decrease a level I will get a pay decrease. And...I'm not talking $.50/hour...this is like $5/hour difference...which is a huge difference especially when you are the main source of income and just bought a brand new house! The worst part...I won't get my results back until late July!! So I'm hoping I increased a level...or at least stayed the same.

Thanks for hearing me out while I rant and rave. Just please remember me in your thoughts and prayers as I try to make this adjustment in my life.

Everyone have a good week! :)

Nothing new...

I know...I haven't updated in a while. My computer crashed (BOO!) and I just got it back today...a week later. Not a lot has happened since my last post. I took a 2 week break from my diet...and stayed within my 2-3lbs yo-yoing (somehow?). I started back today and so far so good. I actually have had my 8 glasses of water...which is a miracle.

During my huge break from blogging...I was nominated for my first award (Yay!!). So...here it goes. :)

Thanks, Tiffy!!


1. I'm terrified of heights/flying. I remember when I was like 8 or 9 years old my family was in Pigeon Forge and was going to pay to ride in a helicopter, we had already paid and were next in line...and I FREAKED OUT!!! Needless to say...we didn't ride.

2. I never really knew what I wanted to be when I was little. I mean...I played doctor, teacher, mommy etc. but never really knew what I wanted to be (my favorite was house/being the mommy). When I was in high school I was told by my ex I wouldn't have to work...that I could just be "barefoot and pregnant". HAHA!! Boy, how things have changed!!

3. I said I wanted to be a sign language interpreter in high school...not really meaning it. At the time I was working at the daycare and we had a little boy who had down syndrome. He used very little sign to communicate...and was the absolute cutest child I have ever seen!! He was my favorite kid there!! So, I started learning sign to communicate with him simple words like eat, milk, please, and so on. During teacher cadet class we had to teach the class something and have a lesson plan with it explaining how we learned what we were teaching and why we wanted to do it. I taught the class how to sign "Jesus Loves Me"...and later became a sign language interpreter. It's crazy how things work out...My second year interpreting, his aide was the mother of the students I interpreted for.

4. I have 3 tattoos and 2 piercings. My first tattoo I got when my husband and I had been dating about 9 months. Its two small butterflies (yes...a tramp stamp). One of the main reasons I broke up with my ex is because I lost my butterflies for him. So Nathan bought me my first tattoo so he would always give me butterflies. Cheesey I know! The second, our monogram in pink and white on the top of my back/lower neck. My most recent I got just for me...a treble clef and bass clef making a heart on the inside of my wrist. I have my tongue and navel pierced...most of the time I keep my tongue ring out because of work...but it doesn't grow back. Already have my next tattoo picked out and planning to get my nose pierced this summer with our niece, Alex. :)

5. I just started wearing nail polish like a few months ago. As a little girl...I bit my nails. As an adult...I didn't like the way it felt. I love having long nails or acrylic nails. Just recently I started painting my nails and love how my nails look painted (crazy...I know!). Being a sign language interpreter I'm not suppose to have my nails painted crazy colors but right now I mostly like bright pinks, reds, and dark purples. Needless to say...my nails are usually paint free during the week. :(

6. Since I was little I said I wanted three kids, two biological and one adopted (from China). I even had a name picked out for the Chinese daughter I always wanted...Halle Grace, BUT during the first couple of weeks of dating Nathan...I found out his mom's cousin had just adopted a little girl from China...and her name...Halle Grace of course. Right now I'm not really sure if we will ever be able to afford international adoption of any sort...especially from China. Maybe domestic adoption through foster care is right for us? I guess only time will tell...

7. The first night I met Nathan I knew I would end up dating him. Well...those weren't my EXACT words but we won't get into that. ;) We were both dating other people at the time and it took almost a year for me to come to my senses.


Well...I guess that's it for today. Have a great week. :)

I'm a Slacker!!

So, this past week I haven't been doing so great with my diet, but I plan to change that tomorrow. This weekend alone I hate to know how many calories I have consumed. Between eating out at Riverfront for my bday (more than a month ago) and ordering pizza today, all we have done is ate out. I also haven't been drinking enough water. I like water...just not enough to drink 8 glasses of it everyday. But...tomorrow is a new day. I HAVE to get rid of this weight! The first week I started I lost 5 pounds and was super shocked (and thrilled!). This past week I only lost 2 pounds, which is better than gaining...which is what I thought had happened. Starting tomorrow I'm gonna *hopefully* start walking after work. The forcast is definately not in my favor though. :( I have countless fitness dvd but for some reason I can't bring myself to do them. I actually bought a new one when I started sparkpeople and watched it...that's it. UGH! I hate feeling like this, So fat and so LAZY!! I'm blaming it on the weather...the lazy part at least!

Everything is pretty much the same with the PCOS...other than I tested positive 10 straight days on an ovulation test (which isn't normal!). During my last visit he recommended I start using OPK to predict ovulation. So, being a good patient, I did. I had used ovulation tests in the past and never had that many positives (at first I thought it was the medicine he had me on)! The first couple of days, I got negatives (expected). Then...I had 10 straight days of positive results. I did a little research to see what that meant, It meant one of two things: I was pregnant...or I had PCOS. I called the dr's office and they told me that my medicine would take 1-3 months to take affect and to take a HPT. So...I did, of course, BFN! I knew it would be...but it was still disappointing. I still wanna think it was too early to tell (which it was like...2 1/2 weeks before missed period). So..I guess there is still a chance I could be...but...I'm pretty certain I'm not. I guess we'll just keep trying. ;)

SparkPeople

As a part of my New Year's Resolution, I am participating in SparkPeople. I have a calorie intake limit of 1200-1500. To my surprise I am having a really hard time eating enough. I'm not sure if it's the medicine or just me trying to watch what I've been eating, but there have been a few days that I have been below my range. :( Also, I find it extremely hard to drink the 8 glasses of water a day. I like water alright, its just really hard for me to drink that much. I swear, I feel like I can hear it swooshing around in my stomach...yuck! My weigh in days are Thursday's and I'm hoping for at least 2 pounds, more would be nice, but 2 pounds will make me proud. At work, we are having the "biggest loser" contest (I am not participating). Everyone who is participating paid in $50, the contest will last for 3 months and the winner get 75% of the money and second place gets 25%. So, I'm not doing it alone at work...which makes it ten times easier. This morning I walk in and the first thing I get to hear about is how two of the teacher I interpret for lost 8 pounds since Wednesday..that's each...not combined! UGH!!! Yeah, they are bigger guys therefore they have more to lose, but it's still discouraging. :( Don't get me wrong...I'm happy for them...just sad for me. Oh..the reason why I'm not participating is well, the reason why I wanted to lose weight is to get pregnant. I really didn't want to put in $50 to hopefully lose. haha. I'm thinking what will probably happen to me is I will get to my goal weight and get pregnant, if I stick with the diet that long. haha

By the way--right now, at this very second...my husband is sitting beside me taunting me with a peanut butter cup milkshake. My biggest weakness...ice cream. My favorite milkshake...peanut butter. Horrible Hubby!!!


I know we were really young, but this is what I want to look like again. (Baker has ruined almost every single picture Nathan and I have together. haha)


I love my hair in this one! Umm...maybe a reward for losing weight or getting knocked up?? haha.



I hope everyone has a good evening!!

PCOS...it is.

So...I went to the doctor yesterday...and indeed I do have PCOS. Which...I am actually ok with. I finally know what's wrong with me! The doctor seems very optimistic about me getting pregnant...which is nice. I had to have a surprise ultrasound (internal...yeah...you know where), but he showed me everything and explained what everything was and what its job was. I swear...my ovaries look like the "poster child" for PCOS. They looked exactly like every picture of PCOS ovaries that I have seen on the internet. Just to give everyone an idea of what PCOS looks like, there is a picture below. I know...its a little wierd with the lady standing there, but it was the only image that I could find with a healthy ovary and a PCOS ovary.




I love my doctor! I think he could tell I was a little nervous about everything, because when he was finished with everything he said..."ok...now, just go out and get pregnant for me." haha. Then...as he is walking out of the room he says "if you see me out in public don't give me credit for it." I didn't get it at first...I just kinda fake laughed and just sat there on what reminded me of a puppy pad (I guess that's just the past dog breeder in me). He stood in the doorway...and then comes back in and shuts the door and tells me..."no, really. I was in Kroger one day...and across the store I hear this woman, who was one of my patients, say...that's the man who got me pregnant". HAHAHAHA And of all the things that he could have responded with...he said..."with her husband's sperm." Too funny!!

He did put me on Glucophage...which I haven't had any horrible side effects from...YET. I hope and pray that I don't! I can handle stomach upsets...headaches...even nausea, but I CANNOT handle male pattern baldness. I shed like a dog anyway with my extremely thick hair, now knowing that hair loss is a side effect of the meds and PCOS...everytime I get out of the shower I look to see if I have lost a significant amount if hair. I have been reading on different blogs and most women haven't had any problems with hair loss...but there have been a few. Most women just praise the fact that they have lost weight while using it (which will be welcomed :). Tonight, after dinner I did feel a little queasiness. But, I read (after I had already had dinner) eating starchy foods will make you feel that way. Lesson learned. I'm not complaining...I can handle nausea.

If we don't have school tomorrow I will try to take some pictures of the house and have a new house post. :)

I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday! :)
