The beginnings....

[Kim]

I swear if I do have a daughter and she misses periods all the time, she is going to the gyno immediately! That's how it started for me. I started very early for my generation. (I see times have changed and menstraution is coming earlier in young ladies now). I was about 10 and I never seemed to have regular periods at all. My mom was super over protective of me as a child and was very emotionally abusive as well and would always accuse me of being pregnant, but that is as far as it went. Never took me to the dr, nothing. When I did have a period, it would last for 8-9days and it would be I suppose a medium to heavy flow. I first had sex when I was 19 so I did take myself to the gyno. I was married at the time to my first husband and was put on birth control pills. Apparently after a year I would be fixed. Then after that year went by, it was try 6 more months of them...then 3 more months. Then I gave up and said screw it. Divorced, remarried. Somehow I gained a ton of weight through the first marriage, and never could lose any of it no matter how much exerise or healthy eating was involved. Second marriage lasted a year and I went back to the dr. More pills, imagine that. I got back together with my first boyfriend who is now my husband five years ago and we went together to the dr. then and she said, oh you have pcos and did an hsg and said I'd never have babies. Huh? In 2004, I did research on PCOS and found Metformin would help make cycles be normal so I tried it and got pregnant with Greg. I went off of the Metformin about week 13 in the pregnancy and we lost him at 15w1d. Now two drs tell me my tubes are definately not blocked, that the hsh can cause spasms in tubes and that's why she had said they were blocked. Went on clomid in Aug. 2005 and lost Bean in Sept., possible low progesterone or something...don't really know.

Here I am on Clomid again. I tried the metformin but it made me too sick this time. And after the big O, I'll be doing my lovely progesterone suppositories. Fun fun, but a baby is worth it.

So there's my story...all 11 years of it, well, almost 11 years....

That's a LOT of life packed into 11 years girl! I'm glad you finally found a good Dr though - it's just toooooo easy for us to walk into their offices with problems & they shrug it off with b/c pills. I don't get that - it's not a miracle cure for EVERYTHING but a lot of Ob/Gyn's like to act like it. Hopefully the progesterone works for you this time - my RE isn't putting me on it until I get a BFP & then I have to call him THAT DAY to start the suppositories . . . never figured out why they don't just give me the scrip & let me have it filled & sitting on ready . . . that would probably just sit there mocking me though ~ until I threw it across the room ! LOL little suppositories flying all over! hehehehehe

Yeah, my old dr. said call me as soon as you get a bfp..ok, what if I pee at midnight. Come on now...And what if you can't get through to the dr. They should have at least gave you a scrip ahead of time.

It's not so bad inserting them though. Everyone I told about them looks at me and said you put them where?! It very funny actually.

I could really see those things flying...hmmm...how bout instead of when pigs fly, we say when we see the progesterone fly.

I'm cracking up now...later gator.
