Went to my appointment yesterday. Dr. Endo put me on Avandia 4mg once per day. It will hopefully regulate my blood sugars. If the meds work my body will start ovulating on my own. I kind of laughed in my head...I just can't imagine that happening. Shoot, I took clomid to get my body functioning and I got pregnant on the 2nd round at a higher dosage.
That brings up the suggestion that I could get pregnant. It would be such a miracle...but very scary. I don't think I can put my body through that again (to be continued in a seperate post). If and when we want to add another child to our family it will be through adoption.
The only other suggestion is to start exercising and eating right. Just start walking. Ugh... She said start slowly for the first few weeks like 5 minutes a day.
She also suggested waiting on joining a gym until my body adjusts to exercising. Oh how I wish there was another way. But when I think about it I slowly but surely got myself into this now I need to dig out.
Dr. Endo did admit though that PCOS makes losing weight really hard. It is a tough battle to win. I have to be absolutely determined to move mountains before I will see results. Ugh, and Ugh again.
I am going to have to research more on PCOS so I can talk intelligently about why/how my hormones and Insulin resistance effect my whole body. I live the results but...knowlege is power.

No wonder we got along so well when we met!
