RE Appointment Update
First, I would just like to say thank you to @thecuddleeffect for the awesome RE rec!! Right away I felt extremely at ease with Dr. Pauli. I feel like I'm in good hands there. He is going to redo Tom's S/A because he said that his past analysis showed technically normal, but on the low side of normal for count. So Tom is doing that on Friday. He also said absolutely no more rounds of Clomid because based on a couple of past u/s, it appeared that Clomid was making my lining thinner.
He also said that I definitely do need to lose weight but a different amount and not all before treatment. Forty pounds from now I will do injects/IUI which he said could be favorable if Tom's updated S/A still puts him in the normal range. He said to do 3 or 4 cycles of injects/IUI while I work on losing another 30-ish pounds and then IVF.
He took b/w from both of us and called me within two hours to tell me that my previous RE should never have taken me off of Metformin because my b/w showed insulin resistance. He also said my testosterone is really high - buddy, I could've told you THAT from the lovely hairs on my face I have to wax off!!
So I'm starting the Body by Vi challenge. Something really clicked for me. I walked out of there and cried that I had to do it but ready to just face it and do it and rock it and have a mothereffing baby. I did like my previous RE but I think the new one just clicks better for me and Tom.
Cheering on all of my 3T ladies! DX with PCOS - 11/2012 DH S/A & HSG - Normal - Too many rounds of Clomid = BFNs - New RE 5/2014 - Repeat Testing - Losing 40lbs before injects/IUI
