Hey guys,
After being unsuccessfully TTC for so long, I've decided to wait, get my things together (mostly health wise) and then try again later.
Well, my first step was getting off birth control that the doctor at the clinic put me on. I explained to her about me not having a period in over 2 years and I wanted one, so she gave me bc pills? I stopped taking them and I've had a wicked (10 days today) period or withdrawal bleeding, whatever you wanna call it. Anyways, I went to the doctor the day I stopped taking my bc pills... And she told me I need an ultrasound to check my ovaries for PCOS, but first I need health insurance or money to get it. She says somewhere around $300. And just a side note, I know a lot of people are thinking "why does she want a baby if she can't afford an ultrasound?" We haven't been trying for a while, and I recently bought a much needed new vehicle so I've got bigger bills now than ever.
Anyway, she told me I needed to do that and then talk to a specialist that comes into their clinic once a week. (this is a different doctor than the one who prescribed me the bc pills)
I am just asking for prayers and good words. I know it's gonna be a while for me to find out what's wrong, and I know it'll be tough. But I've always wanted children, and so has my husband. We'll make it through either way but we are hoping for the best.
And I know some contributing factors are my weight and my hypothyroidism. And I'm still trying to get my levothyroxine dosage where it needs to be. I just got it increased. But thank you for reading, and I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Holiday season.
