Dr Responce

Hello lovies,

I got a email back from my dr yesterday and this is what she said.


Hi Maria, You have polycystic ovary syndrome. Your ovaries have many little cyst that is altering how your ovaries ar functioning. These are multiple cysts and are not individual cysts that we can treat and/or remove. There are procedures that can be done that will improve the ovarian function. But they are saved for those who are unable to acheive pregnancy with clomid or other fertility medications. This procedure is done by a fertility specialist.
Yaz is a birthcontrol pill. If you are trying to get pregnant, Yaz is not a good option because it will prevent pregnancy. Yaz is good to help regulate periods when the patient is not trying to get pregnant. Taking the Glumetza is a good idea, it may help regulate your period as we previously discussed. It may even help you ovulate on your own. I can send the prescription for both to your pharmacy in paramus. You will take the provera first for 10 days to start your period. After the 10 days you can start the glumetza. Take 1 tablet daily the first week. The second week take 1 tablet two times a day. After that take 1 tablet 3 times a day. Please let me know if you want me to send the prescription.



If you choose to do glumetza, I would still recommend weight loss. The combination of both are good for ovulation.
Once again, If you want regular periods Yaz is an option, but will prevent pregnancy. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.


So basically she is saying that just because one relatives has cyst doesn't mean they are the same. The birth control would not be helpful since I want to get pregnant. So I picked up my provera and my glumetza. I am going to take it while on vacation. I may take it day 2 of vacation, so then the time we get back af should show up.

Again I am not going to get my hopes up,but I do pray that it works and I do get af regularly and I finally ovulate. I really would love to get a BFP by the end of this year.

Test Results & My Decision on what is best

Hello Lovies,

The last post I mentioned getting tests done and going to my acupuncturist. Since the last post I got my test results back. Here is what she tested me for.

CORTISOL SERUM
Received -BioChemNormal
05/29/2012DHEA-SULFATEReceived -BioChemHigh
05/29/2012FREE T4Received -BioChemNormal
05/29/2012TSH, 3rd GENERATIONReceived -BioChemNormal
05/29/2012HCG total (beta)Received -BioChemNegative
05/29/2012HEMOGLOBIN A1CReceived -BioChemNormal
05/29/2012FSH/LH/PROLACTIN/PROGESTEReceived -BioChemNormal
05/29/2012THIN PREP W/REFLEX

So as you can see everything is normal expect my DHEA. I was a little concerned,but my gyno didn't and neither did my acupuncturist and my chiropractor. My chiropractor said it sounds like a start of a adrenal problem. They never have said anything about that before. When I read up on DHEA ,it freaked me out. I called my doctor and he was looking to look at me and call me back. Then I remembered I am going to see him on Monday so it's no big deal if I don't hear back from him. 


My gyno and I were talking and she said it's up to jesse and I if I want to take the provera and glumetza. I mean I have been doing this natural thing for 4 months and I don't see anything happening. I was also taking to a family member who is a nurse and also has irregular periods. She said that she is taking birth control to help with her periods.  She said if I went  back on birth control and did it for however many months the gyno wanted on me and then stopped, I could start to  have my periods regular and ovulate.  So I came to the conclusion that I am going to do medicated cycles and pray that works. I am still going to take my vitamins that won't bother glumetza. I emailed my dr and I am still awaiting a answer.  I was hoping to start my prover maybe near the end of mine and my husbands vacation so then when we get back I should be almost done and then hopefully af would show up and then maybe i'd ovulate. I will update when I hear from my gyno.
