P-COS I Can!

I suppose the internal ultrasound at my fertility specialist on Friday was fairly consistant. My ovaries looked like a sick advertisement for malteasers with the amount of cysts I saw littering the the screen. Bleh.

Upon arriving at the appointment Dr Love (hilarious irony that he is an IVF and fertility doctor) explained that my blood test results showed elevated levels of testosterone. (Which C and I both laughed at, no suprise there!) This indicated to him that it was highly likely I had PCOS, which.. I did. 

So basically he told me to lose some weight, get exercising, and cut out the alcohol and bad foods due to the medication he would be putting me on. Yes that's right my loyal viewers, Metformin does not agree with my love of the drink, nor my secret shame for cheese and bacon balls and lamingtons. Alas.

Actually when I look at the big picture, its quite humorous that my new years resolutions are actually a requirement for the next year or so if I ever want to be blessed with another child, and want to avoid Type II Diabetes. I must have seen this whole thing coming, woo hoo, sign me up for medium 2! :P

I started taking the met last night and today have felt like I just wanted to sleep all day. Thankfully its gotten better this afternoon, and by all "Dr Googling" reports the side effects should lessen within a week. Lets hope so as I have no intention of not continuing my onslaught of the gym, attending every class they run and monopolising their time, mwahahhahaahah!!!

I had my last drink-a-thon out with my dear (and oh so camp) friend Josh on Friday night and suffice to say the hangover I received is enough to make me want to give the drink up anyway. Especially when they were yager-bombs that had me dancing to "it's raining men" at 2am. Lordy lordy......

So its Metformin now, and await the arrive of the elusive 'Aunt Flo' which hasn't been around since December. Then hopefully I can get this disease under control (all the while coming out the other end with an unbelievably hot body :P ) and then make the decision to TTC another co-sleeping cutie.
