I went to the doctor on the 20th of December.  I got my period on my own on the 21^st.  I wasted $10 on the co-pay for a pregnancy test.  I paid $25 for Yasmin.  I took Yasmin for 9 days and quit.  I am still bleeding.  I have been sick.  Yesterday I spent the day throwing up.  I feel anemic.  Today I feel better.  I still feel anemic.  Weak.  I’ve been craving red meat.  I hate meat.  I have used 3 boxes of regular tampons and an entire bag of pads. (overnight)  This is all too much information but perhaps just enough to say this is why I haven’t been blogging.

I have an appointment at “NEW fancy endocrinologist who is also a reproductive endocrinologist”. Because he is both my insurance will pay for him. I quit the Yasmin because I felt like it was making me hemorrhage.  I was also told other directions.  I was told to take Provera for ten days to get a period and then start the Yasmin on the following Sunday after getting one.  But I got one myself the next day and took Yasmin the following Sunday.  I didn’t listen.  Who knows what the real issue is.  I want a doctor to “treat” the PCOS not just try to placate me.

I really feel like I need to go to an endocrinologist so I am.  People pay thousands to see this doctor because they fly in from all over the country.  People fly into my town to see him.  (They have the airline rates and hotel rates listed on their website).  It is an infertility clinic and the doctor lists PCOS as a specialty.  I am hopeful.  At least I won’t be sitting in a waiting room with pregnant teenagers anymore.  I haven’t quite decided if I am forgoing my OB/GYN doctor but I’m leaning towards it if I get treated well on Friday morning.  Yes, Friday Jan. 11^th at 8:30 a.m.  And…five minutes from my front door.  I have a well known awesome Endo five minutes from my door.

Outside of this, there’s not been much to tell.  I had a two week break from school. I am now in two classes.  A business writing class I am finishing up and a Government class I will probably hate that is taught by a House Representative for Missouri.  Interesting I suppose.

Work is good.  In fact work is pretty great lately.  I love my boss; she makes all the difference in the world.  She better not go anywhere. 

The weather was also super cold for Florida. We had two nights of freezing weather.  It’s warmer now.  Whew.  That was miserable.  And it came right when I wasn’t feeling so great. 

It appears that now Rick won’t be traveling for work.  But he’s also looking at other options etc.  

So far 2008 has been overall worrisome.
