Ok, well I FINALLY got in to see Dr Seal yesterday. I am so much happier that I ditched that PCP and went to someone who specializes in infertility.
I went into the little room and waited for him, on the verge of tears. I have a phobia of doctors and the minute I sit down in that little room I get some serious anxiety issues going on....
He came in and we started talking, I told him about my prev doctors visit last April, and how they said all my tests were normal and the short of it was that Im fat, lose weight and you'll get pregnant. I went over all my symptoms, and how I had been 99.9% sure it was PCOS up until my doctors visit in April. He was suprised that I had done my homework and even knew what PCOS was.
He told me he is sure its PCOS, all the symptoms match. he said that with my research I probably know more about PCOS than most of the regular family practise doctors out there. he told me that Im not "normal", like the prev doctor had said.... actually what he said was "Your 23, young, healthy...there is NOTHING normal about not having a period for the last year".
We scheduled another appt for June 20th, he wants me to get my blood results and the film from my ultra sound so he can review it. Im worried because the other edoctor said there was nothing wrong with my results... Dr Seal said that even if it doesnt show anything, there is something wrong and we just havent discovered it yet. He said that he has helped many women my weight and heavier get pregnant, and just losing weight isnt going to help me ovulate.... I havent been ovulating or getting regular periods since I got my period at 14, and was a normal weight.
Anyway he was very calming, a very nice guy....and a little on the overweight side himself....so it seems there is no weight bias with him at all. He has prescribed 500mg of Met, and when I come back in 2 weeks he will prob up it to 1000 mg and we will see how things go. Im nervous about starting the met, Ive read a lot last night on a PCOS support board, and there can be some nasty side effects....but the things you gotta do if you want to have a baby right?
So Im feeling better today.... and the journey begins....
