We are married for a year and 3 months now. At first, we’re ok with the though of not having a baby just yet, it will come in God’s time. Then after a few months, we wanted it to happen. We never really plan to have or not to have a baby, if it will come, it will come. But there are times that I don’t want to have my period and just be pregnant and have a baby.
A week before we got married, I was checked (yet again) by my OB for any problems. I was diagnosed to have a Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS). This year, my doctor gave me Metformin and Chlomid to take for PCOS. I reached to a point that I take up to 4 tablets of Chlomid a day. I got exhausted and decided to stop for the mean time. I had an egg cell that matured thru the help of Chlomid, but unfortunately, we weren’t successful conquering that cell.
My doctor suggested that I take an Hysterosalpingography (HSG) test to check if my fallopian tubes are free from any blockages. I was scheduled yesterday for a Sonohysterogram (SHG) test. The difference between the two is that, HSG is an x-ray procedure while SHG is a transvaginal ultrasound procedure. It was a painful ordeal but at least we learned that my fallopian tubes are quite ok but with a slight blockage on my right tube.
I am now to take a higher dosage of Metformin and an additional Folic Acid medicine/vitamins. I’ll stop with Chlomid but may eventually return in taking that next month. Hopefully, I won’t be needing it anymore.
Crossing my fingers…
