To all that care! :D
I finally went and saw my OBGYN, she put me on hormones to stimulate my monthly cycle. After almost 6 months, I have finally started my cycle. I don’t know what to feel, but I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be on this cycle. But, the hormone I have to take, , it has to be taken once a day, 2 weeks out of the month. Hopefully, this works, I hope my body listens to it. My doctor was telling me that the if the lining that is supposed to drop out of you each month is built up, it has a possibility to become cancerous, so this hormone is meant to, at the very least, flush out my system. I am a little scared, but at least there is someone looking out for me. OH! And I have tests to do at the lab (I have Kaiser) and tomorrow I am gonna go there, I can’t eat until I do the blood work and what not, because some of the tests they have to do is fasting tests. I thought the co pay for the lab was $10 a test, it is only $10 a visit. There was a whole long list of tests that were ordered from my regular doctor and a few other tests that were ordered by my OBGYN. I am excited to know what is going on with my body, so… we will be going out there tomorrow. The last time I ate anything was about 9:30-10:00 PM, so I can go in around 9:30- 10:00 am to get the lab work done. Then, it would be a matter of time before I can get another doctor’s appointment to get it all explained and see if I need meds. I think, if I take meds, I will need to keep a calendar with me and mark off the meds starts, stops and when I took everything. Speaking of meds, :iconstrange-angel: has to take alotta meds and she says what helps her is keeping a meds journal for her doctor. That might help me. The hormones I got from my OBGYN cost me $15.50, my sister bought it for me. I told her I would just get it later, cause it would be available for 3 weeks, she wanted me to have it right then. I thanked her and we got it. I took the meds around 12 (noon), it knocked me out flat. They told me it would cause drowsiness, but that is cool, cause I will be on a nice sleep schedule in the day time! :D No more less sleep. :D Anyways…
My OBGYN knows about my want to get pregnant and she knows I am RH-negative. She said that part of the tests is to check for antibodies my body may have developed against (insert med name that has to do with helping RH-negative’s with pregnancy), because I didn’t get the shot after my first miscarriage. She said it isn’t uncommon and if I have those antibodies, then it will make pregnancy very difficult. I don’t know how difficult, but I want to know what it is I must do. I hope I don’t have that, I want a baby. BUT, if I can’t at least I can stay healthy.
I am glad that she isn’t like most doctors and see my overweight body and stop there, at least she is trying to do all these tests so I can see if there is something else wrong with me. She did mention it, my weight, but she feels confident that I am on the right path to stay healthy. She was telling me that my walking and my eating healthy is working for me to get my weight down to an average weight. She told me the reason she mentioned it was because my fatty tissue sends out estrogen and it makes it difficult to get pregnant. But, she is looking into other options and that made me calmer when she started explaining the other options before she mentioned the option of my weight. I am eating more home cooked meals, less prepackaged stuff and I am walking about 3 times a week, for about 30 minutes during those days. It helped me drop a size and I feel like I can keep going. I want to loose about 2 more sizes, to get down to a regular large to be able to go into a store and buy myself a regular large sized shirt and not worry about seeking out a specialty shop and get a $30 shirt when something just about as cute for $10 or $15. I feel better and more energetic when I walk. I am not saying I want to be stick thin, but I think everyone is beautiful if they hold themselves with confidence (not bitchyness or attitude but confidence). There are ugly fat women as well as skinny people if they hold themselves slouchy or with a negative attitude. I find that I hold myself well, to the point where my brother-in-law didn’t think I was around 300 lbs about a year ago. I am down to about 276 lbs now and I am happy, I can’t wait to keep going. Last month, when I visited my doctor, I was about 286 lbs.
