Dr. Visit Update!

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.
