I’ve only commented once before, and I don’t read you every day. I kind of come here and binge every so often. But since you’re so real and “TMI” about this (which I don’t think is TMI at all), here’s my own TMI:

I thought the “best” part of the vaginal u/s’s was watching my male doctor put the condom on the probe. I mean, really. How humiliating can it get? And then there was the test where they put the radio-opaque dye into my uterus via catheter to check if my tubes were blocked. Gee, doesn’t lying naked and spread-eagled on an ice-cold steel table in a 50 degree x-ray room, shivering and sobbing in pain while the male radiologist and the male radiology tech are closely examining your nether bits sound like so much fun?

Casey, I don’t have PCOS, but I had 3 years of unexplained infertility before having my first, who was a Clomid baby. The second was a result of a priesthood blessing just as I was about to head back to the doctor. The third? Well, he was practically a virgin birth. But he’s also given me my third case of post-partum depression, which I can’t seem to shake after months and months of medication. You can’t win.

I keep trying to get to where I can say “come what may and love it,” but I ain’t there yet.

Hang in there, girl. I know it sucks. Big time.

First of all, I love you.

Second of all, I took Memms with me to the grocery store yesterday where she informed me in the LOUDEST voice possible, “Mom that guy is SO FAT!” Nice Memm, le’ts hurry and run down the next isle before he SITS on us.

Kids…sheesh indeed.

I love you to pieces. My good friend Lace has had to endure PCOS for years and has two beautiful bebes. Her blog is on my list under Ten Thousand Holes…she is doing a new treatment, maybe e-mail her sometime if you are wondering.

ALSO…YES the last time I had a “vag” ultrasound the wand was the size of the TSA detectors…not saying I want to have one again, I’m just saying.

at least it's an answer, right? might not be a fab answer, but it is one nonetheless. Hopefully that will make the journey more hopeful and less stressful...and well...give you the end results you want. HUGS staciesmadnesss last blog post..Sometimes, I *am* funny

The only vag ultra sound was the one where they couldn't find my babies heartbeat at 9 weeks. My miscarriage was my first introduction. It was sad, painful, heartbreaking and really emotional. I never expected to feel SO much about an embryo I didn't even plan for. But I did. More women should talk about things like you do and they wouldn't feel so alone. I appreciate your blog.

I feel your pain, girlfriend. BTDT. Metformin (for PCOS’ers) worked wonders for me (she just turned 3). Hopefully your doctors have recommended it. Much good luck. From a fellow Cyster.

Cysts are rough. My infertility doc spotted cysts on my left ovary and said I probably have PCOS (which also explains the acne and hair growth.. grrr). The good news is that the right nutrition can do a lot for those of us with PCOS. I've incorporated much of what Dr. Jeremy Groll recommends in his book, Fertility Foods, into my diet. He covers how to balance insulin which is a major issue for us PCOSers. I can't say for sure how much credit the insulin balancing portion of my new diet should get but my exams now show two shiny ovaries with no cysts (OK, so they're blurry on the screen but I think of them as shiny). Now I just need my tubes to get their act together and start moving the precious cargo... Best wishes. Dinas last blog post..How Long to Wait After Miscarriage?
