Hey Everyone,

         Just wanted to stop in and say Thank you to all of you who left me such sweet notes. Some of you had questions about it so I thought I would try and answer them. I don’t know a whole lot, just what the doctors have been telling me and my own experiance. So here it goes:

Have they done anything to check why you’re not ovulating?

      Not yet. They thought it might have been since I was stopping my birth control and so my body needed time to adjust. Well, that could take up to a couple of months, but I am well beyond that now. So, they just tryed the progesterone to see if that would start up my system, and still a no go. They have done several different blood tests and have because of those ruled out PCOS so far. My current doctor couldn’t really tell me what they all did at my last appointment because she hadn’t gotten my records yet, I am hoping as soon as she recieves them I will recieve a call to learn more.

Another person suggested that it was due to stress.

     I wish they thought that was the case, because that I could fix, however, I am not stressed at all. I do put my body through some, but my day job is sitting all day, my second job is only 15 hrs a week at most, and other then that I really don’t do a whole lot. The joining of my Theta Alumnae group isn’t going to do much against my body. It will actually be more fun and stress relieving then stressful. I have heard many people say it is because they do so much, but I don’t feel that is the case here. Because when I was younger I sure did a lot more then what I am now and I was getting my period at least on a bi monthly cycle. If I had a day job that was more standing and stressful, I would have looked more into that as a reason, but my doctors think it is more to either weight having gone up (no thanks to the pills they gave me), or other possibilities. But we will see, there is no way I could quite my day job, and my other two activities that I do, they aren’t enough to worry about yet. But thanks for the words, they are still always a possibility.

Other then these two questions or items that I felt needed to be answered, which I hope I did answer them well for you, I just recieved words of courage and support. I am glad that I can come here and just vent about what is going on and know that others are willing to comfort and support me. Thank you again. I will be back later with the rest of the entry about my weekend. Have a great day!!
