So, I know you are all wondering how my doctors appointment went, right?? Ok, maybe not, but I'm going to tell you anyways because I don't believe in keeping secrets or pretending that my life is perfect. Because let's face it. There is only one person who had led the perfect life, and it is most definitely not me. First of all, let me tell you what prompted this doctor's visit. Brennen and I have been married for over three and a half years...if you get my drift. If not, its my subtle way of saying that brennen's not getting any fewer gray hairs and we need to start thinking about starting our family. Since I haven't had a monthly in over four months, we figured I should get the green light from someone who knows about this kind of thing before we start trying. The last thing we want is a string of miscarriages or somthing equally devastating. So I made the appointment. She did some exams and pap smear for good measure. We also talked about a few things that need to be resolved before my follow-up visit. First: blood work. To test for my thyroid, prolactin, glucose, and insulin resistance. Second: an ultrasound to confirm the possibility of having PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Third: my weight. I weighted 101 lbs at my appointment that day. Her concern was that my low body weight and BMI might be causing me to skip my period. No period=no ovulation=no pregnancy=no baby. Well, I am happy to say that my pap smear came back normal (as I knew I would) and I have already gained 4 lbs since my November 26th visit. As for the results of my blood work and ultrasoud, I will have to wait until my follow-up appointment to see what the results of those are. I'm not really sure how to feel about this at this point, but I'm just going to enjoy the holidays and worry about it when I get back. Honestly, I'm not the worrying type. What will be will be.
