Fortemet

Finally saw the RE last week for my checkup. She says about 50% of her practice is actually annual exams, esp for women with special needs (i.e. anxious, I only want to see a woman needs?!) It was nice to see her again and catch up. She asked why I didn't bring the baby...I told her, won't people be upset seeing a baby in an IF clinic? She said, no, her patients don't mind. She said they did mind when she used to office with an MFM specialist and all the high risk pregnant teenagers were more annoying to the infertiles.

So all was checked and as I joked to the nurse the only problem I had was that I was having regular periods...quite weird for me as someone who always was irregular or amenorrheic. RE suggested Fortemet for less GI upset and to help my PCOS. Started it yesterday, feel tired, but also may be due to the fact I am trying to lower my carbs. I really would like to have another child, preferably without the emotional rollercoaster of IVF, but we'll see. I was imagining the other day that taking 2 small kids to the grocery store would be harder that just my one munchkin right now. My Dh said that I probably would not ever take both of them!
