Lut, I had to shave my legs and "trim" the lady gal. I didn't want to scare the woman by thinking she was walking in on a naked man on her table!! :-)
So I got there 30 mins prior to my appointment time and went back within 20 mins. I got weighed and went over my history with the two cute chickie nurses. They had to be right around my age. I then stripped and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. An hour and 20 mins later, an hour and 10 mins after my appointment time, the doctor walks in. I will have to give her a name. Let me get back to you on that one. We went over my history and discussed my lab results I had brought. She told me she wanted me to get an ultrasound so I went and waited some more.
Guess what? It wasn't a belly ultrasound. It was a Magical Wand ultrasound. My first time. Aww. Okay, so after reading everyone's blogs and hearing from a few people I was mortified about what the wand might look like. I was totally expecting a telephone size object to be jammed into my nether regions. I must be weird (or a freak behind closed doors) because it was nothing. I saw the magical wand and just kinda giggled inside, HA! Piece of cake. Yeah, I must be a whore. So she showed me my pretty little uterus. She asked if I had kids I told her "No we have been trying for almost 3 years". She said she was sorry and that my uterus was small, she's use to seeing big ones (you know, the baby filled kind).
After I was done getting some action, I mean with the ultrasound she had me wait. The doctor came and talked with me more. She showed me the pictures and my ovaries are very speckled. Lots of little cyst. PCOS it is. She wants me to get on pr0vera for the first 10 days of each month starting April 1st (if I don't start before then) for three months. Doesn't this stuff make you hurt?? She wants M to get an SA. I am also to get lab work on my next CD 21. I am also to get the tube juice procedure done. Isn't it called hsg? I'm use to blog lingo, not the actual word. Duh.
So that's the plan, I've got PCOS. Let's just pray M's results are good and my tubes are clear. I am to go back in 2-3 months. Thanks for all the prayers. It's a step towards babyhood, albiet small.

Honey, this is no small step- it's HUGE! Getting your PCOS under control for some women is all it takes to get PG (although, I'm very aware that's not the case for all women).
The HSG isn't as bad as I anticipated- although I did take one Vicodin before the procedure.
I'm excited for you- good luck with M's SA.
-D.
Lissa - I'm so glad you got some answers! That's fabulous :) Good luck!
I shouldn't tease. :-)
That's a lot of waiting undressed on the table. :-/ At my clinic, the doctor calls you into his office, asks you to undress, and then the exam starts. Very swift.
A telephone size object? My goodness!
Fortunately it's not. It never caused me any discomfort. :-)
Let's hope getting the PCO under control is all you need.
