Tomorrow Howie and I are going to meet with Dr. Hotness to talk about maybe getting some Metformin. Bummer. I wanted to try bio-identical hormones because it's the only thing I haven't tried yet. One thing I did try and thought was wonderful was Insulite Systems but there were so many pills that I just couldn't keep up with them. If anyone out there has PCOS and doesn't mind taking multiple pills 6 times a day then you should try Insulite Systems. The good thing about taking pills 6 times a day is that it forces you to keep on track with your meals and snacks.
We'll see if Metformin is a possibility. I took it years ago to see if it would help with my PCOS but it made me sick. Not in the same way it seems to make others sick. When I took Metformin I felt like the room was spinning around me and I was extremely nauseated. Maybe it had something to do with what I ate with it but I just couldn't handle taking it anymore. I couldn't work or do anything really. I've got to do something about my PCOS symptoms because I feel like I'm slowly turning into a man and it has to stop! I guess I'll just hold on and pretend I'm on some kind of roller coaster until the nausea goes away. I also need to get a refill for my thyroid medication because I have a hypothyroid. I suspect that I'll need another hysteroscopy pretty soon. Dr. Hotness did a hysteroscopy last fall to remove a polyp and a whole mess of lining but during a recent trip to the ER for a painful cyst they told me that I had some polyps and/or fibroids in there. I just don't keep a clean uterus, what can I say? It's a mess in there.
Aside from the Metformin I have to get my butt to the gym on a regular basis again. I'm thinking about going in the morning before Howie goes to work. Hahahahaha!! Me? Get up early? That's funny! I could go later in the day with Aislinn but she's not a fan. I'll be taking Aislinn out for a jogging and swimming plenty this summer so that will help. I also have a fertility yoga DVD so I need to start doing some yoga.
Perhaps I should start going back to acupuncture. My acupuncturist and I are friends and she gives me a discount but money is pretty tight right now so I'll have to see if it's possible to squeeze that into the budget again. I do LOVE going to acupuncture!!
Hmm, I hear my neighbor who just had a baby on Saturday doing laundry and vacuuming and stuff and here I am still in my jammies. I really need to close my computer and get something done around here. I'll see ya'll again soon!
