So on June 16th Rob and I went to my Reproductive Endocrinologist appointment. We were there doing a follow up on the Metformin (which had NOT helped in regulating my cycles) and to discuss the next step in our TTC (Trying to conceive) journey. She reccomended that I stay on the Metformin and said that it was time for her to refer us to a Fertility clinic. So she gave us all of my records containing my lab work results and also the findings from the internal ultrasound she had done at the 1st appointment. She also included a letter stating that she reccomends that the next step in my treatment be to start a round of Clomid (the fertility drug that tells your body to ovulate). She said that by giving them all the previous lab work and ultrasound results it would hopefully reduce the amount of tests they would want to do before they would do the round of Clomid. All of this will be out of pocket cost to us. So our plan is to wait another month or so and hopefully loose a little weight and get a little more healthy. Then we will go in for the consultation with the fertility clinic. It's all very stressful and depressing...but I guess it's just what we have to do to get our family. I hope Clomid works for us....otherwise I don't know what we will do.
That's the update for now.

Just an update
I will have to do a separate post about our trip to Minnesota! It was a BLAST! It was so fun to see the family and celebrate Grandma's 95th bday!
I mostly wanted to update everyone on the "trying for baby" status. I have an appointment scheduled with my Reproductive Endocrinologist on 6/16. My plan is to ask if they can put me on the Clomid with this next cycle. I have been taking the Metformin for over 3 months and I still have not had my cycle. So....I will probably have to do another round of Provera to start my cycle but hopefully that means that I will be able to try the Clomid once that cycle starts up! My mom had success with Clomid for all three of her pregnancies and she had the same condition that I have. So I hope that I have the same type of response that she did.
So that's the update! I will check back in after the next appointment!
