Update on me
Hi girls,
I haven't been posting much, but I have been keeping up with everyones progress.. Kudos to everyone who has made progress and a swift kick in the butt to those who need it!
It has been three months since I have been on Metformin (for insulin control), and things seem to be good. I had my labs run last week, and my insulin is normal, my thyroid is fantastic and I am making progress.
That being said, we are comming up on the one year mark of trying to get pregnant and nothing so far. Tomorrow I go to see the OBGYN for a follow up since I started taking the metformin, and to talk about my inability to get pregnant.
I am inceradibly frustrated with this whole situation, and the older I get, the more annoying it gets. Aaron and I are ready to make that next step in our lives, and nothing is happening.
When the weekend arrives, and the house is quiet, I think to myself how I would love to hear a baby in the house, and how much time we have on our hands at the moment, that could be busy making memories..
I am not stressed out about it on a daily basis, but it is on my mind.
I am tracking with calendars, I started using a homepathic progesterone cream, I have used ovulation predictors, I am eating properly, loosing weight, taking the medicines I have been asked to take.. In short, I am being very proactive about the whole situation, which makes me feel so much better, becasue it gives me a semblance of control ovet the situation.
For once in my life, all I want for christmas is a missed peroid... (LOL)
Regarding my weight, I am hovering between 258 and 263, but things should turn around in the next few weeks.
At my request, I am playing scientific hamster for the next two weeks, as I go on a gluten free adventure. According to my labs, there is a possibility that I may have a gluten intollernace, so I thought it would be a good idea to go without and re-test, and my doctor agreed.
Lucky for me, I am pretty much already set up for a gluten free house, because all my foods are organic and I have alot of knowledge in the area, having had friends who have celliac disease.
I don't think I have celliac disease, I think I have a gluten intollerance, and I am hoping that my labs in 2 weeks will show that.
Everything else in my life is fabulous.. I have no complaints.. Work is busy, volunteering is fantastic, I started a bakery out of my house, and that is going really well, my weight is continuing to slowly drop, and I am feeling much better about things these days.
Please keep us in your thoughts as we continue to try and get "knocked up"

awwww, Maria, things will turn out for you! Easy for me to say, but just relax and it will happen. It must be a near-obsession and I understand that.
Living gluten free is not bad advice for many of us. I have grown to love so many lower carb recipes. Breads, esp leavened types, have made me bloat out for years now.

Maria, it sounds like you are doing so well with the Metformin. I was one who couldn't tolerate it very well so I had to get off, but I did lose forty pounds when I was on it and it did regulate my periods. You may want to be careful monitoring that homeopathic progesterone cream because the metformin will adjust your hormones also, so you may end up with too much progesterone which will turn into estrogen and then you risk estrogen dominance. It's such a delicate balance, but worth EVERY effort you are putting into it. Best wishes for normal hormones,

Hola chica!
Why is it that when a girl wants to stay childless, she gets preggers, but when a girl wants a bambino, she can't get knocked up for ****!??
Not fair!
Miss you girlie. Glad you're doing so well. Your health seems to be going no where but in the right direction so I think the kid is inevitable. I bet your patience are thin for it, though, and rightfully so. I'd give you a couple of my eggs if I could, hunnybuns.
