Things have been so busy lately it has been hard to find time to blog.
Nothing really new and exciting other than I stepped on the scale this morning and I am now down 27 lbs from where I was 9 weeks ago. Woo hoo.
I am still really worrying about the trying to figure out how we will move forward on the TTC front after the first of the year. I am hoping that by January I can be down 35-40 lbs. I am thinking maybe I will see if my RE will let me come in and sit down with him to discuss my options. Maybe it would worth trying another round of clomid now that I have lost so much weight. Or maybe there are other alternatives? I would just feel better discussing all of the options.
Obviously DH and I are still struggling with moving onto injects at a $3500 - $4000 price tag. At times I feel bad because I know others have been through so much more than we have -- multiple IUIs, IVFs, etc. On the other hand, I think every one is different and everyone has different comfort levels.
I don't know. I guess the short version of the story is that I am still struggling to figure out what we want to do and how we want to proceed. Since my main issues are the PCOS and LPD which I have read can both have a relation to weight and/or obesity, I would like to think that there may be some additional options once I have dropped the weight.
I guess for now I am going to try not to worry about January and celebrate my small victory of losing 27 lbs! Woo hoo!
Wow, CONGRATS!! 27 lbs is definitely a victory! I don't know how much you have to lose but I do know my RE told me that losing even 5-10% of my weight could have a positive effect on the PCOS. I am anovulatory and at one point I lost 5% of my body weight and ovulated for the first time EVER. Maybe it would be worth trying Clomid with the weight loss! GL working on the additional weight by January. It sounds like you must be doing something right so keep at it!! Yay you!
ReplyDeletePS: As I'm sure you figured out, I now shamelessly stalk you so I'm just gonna go ahead and add you to my stalker blog list so I can have easy access. Hope you don't mind! haha
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chickin. I think I am going to talk to my RE after the first of the year. I have lost 12% of my weight so far so I would think it could make a big difference in how I respond to meds like clomid or femera.
ReplyDeleteOh, and stalk away. I have been stalking you for months :)
