The Perfect Drug

So we went to the doctor's on Wednesday to almost start over. We actually decided to go with a Nurse Practitioner, who seems to have a good reputation-plus she was female! We spent about 45 minutes with her discussing our history and what we have and have not done, and what we will and will not do.

She agreed that starting on the Metformin for now was a good choice. There was no point in starting the Progesterone or Clomid because as far as we can tell the past 2 months ovulation has ocurred without that medication, so why take it when it SEEMS to be working!
She did explain some things we have already heard before. Such as, how PCOS works, and why it is causing us to not get pregnant. She seems to believe and she is hoping, like us, that the Metformin with fix pretty much all of the problems. Such as not being able to lose weight (which no one believed Cristina couldn't just lose weight naturally), fixing the insulin from being wacked out--all of which should help the female things work the way they should and solve our problem.

We are going to do about 3-4 months on just the Metfomin as that will give the body time to adjust and get pumping correctly. If nothing, then on to Clomid and ovulation predictor kits.
She did also take a ton of blood work, which we knew was coming. So we are waiting to see if there are any surprises there that we didn't already know about.

One thing we are interested in seeing is if this all works out that will be pretty darn funny if (no offense to anyone) a nurse practitioner can resolve our 6 year battle over the high tech doctors from the University of Utah and highly, highly recommeneded doctors from all over the state of Utah. We have a new found respect for nurse practioners!

We'll keep y'all posted.
