Ah, yes, finally, a GAME PLAN!
We meet with the Dr. the following Thursday [June 28th] to map out what we will be doing for our first round of treatment!
I have to admit that this was a very scary thought--I wasn't sure what to expect with what very little knowledge of what my test results meant. I knew that I had a very low ovarian pool (egg count) and that my insulin was "a little high" but the rest were...normal??
Since it was decided that we're unsure of our window of time, there's no hesitation. We jump right into our first treatment. Doc says to take notes....so here goes.
I will begin Glucophage aka...Metformin as soon as possible. After the first week of 1x per day with a meal, I double my dose on the second week to 2x/day with a meal, finally the third week and thereafter 3x/day [if my body can handle it], 2x with a meal and the 3rd pill with another meal.
Then- on the 17th day of my cycle (July 9th) I will begin taking Provera for 10 days (until July 18th). Then...I should have a period. After that starts, on days 3-7, I begin taking Clomid [50mg] to make me ovulate [because I currently do not]. Finally, on days 12, 14, 16 and 18- we "do it" and hope to become preggers[!].
IF this first treatment does not work, we'll do the same thing, the next month with a double dose [100mg] of Clomid. If THAT doesn't work--we move to injections.
Let's just say that I PRAY that one of the first 2 treatments work....I despise the thought of giving myself injections :(
I can't do the injections either!! If you have a nurses class to learn about the injections, take the hubby so he can learn how. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great idea! Although, that's a scary thought, too ;)
