Oooh, drugggssss.

Finally had my follow-up appt. with the RE to analyze the 15 various vials of blood they’ve taken over the last few weeks.

My FSH was mostly within bounds – once it was 12.6, but I had uber high estrogen the same day, so that one doesn’t count. The others were 7.7/7.6, so almost perfectly normal – woot for easy ovaries! 😉

My thyroid seems to be working normally, and I’m not anemic.

However – my LH – which should have been between 1 and 18 on CD3/4 – was 50. FIFTY! *lmao*

That, plus the fact that my testosterone is BARELY within normal (on the very high end of ‘normal’), combined with the 13 or so cysts on my ovaries that he saw on the ultrasound ended up in a diagnosis of PCOS. :woot No big surprise there.  I’ve had http://www.pcosupport.org up in a tab for the last two days, and I still haven’t looked at it. 
Denial is not just a river in Egypt, ya’ll.

So, he put me on 1700mg of Metformin, and he’s scheduled me for a hysteroscopy on May 9th, because he still feels that my lining was too thick, and he wants to check for lesions and take a biopsy of my uterine lining. So. That’s an out-patient procedure – but they are putting me under! I don’t know how I feel about that. Mrr.

I took my first Met pill last night, and joy of joys, while I didn’t have any tummy bubbling, I’m peeing out of my ass now, which while uncomfy, is at least controllable. I’m only going to be taking one dose for a week (so only 850mg), and then I’m going to ramp up to taking two a day.

I’m already on a self-prescribed low GI diet, and I’m back to exercising 3 times a week – so I really think that the Met will help, a LOT, for me.

So, I’m actually pretty relieved. I’m hoping this will be the nudge/help I needed….
