The Discovery...

So it turns out it is not endometriosis, as I suspected, but another problem called PCOS. Women with PCOS have insulin resistance (IR) which is caused by their bodies constantly producing too much insulin, regardless of when they ate last or any other factors that usually apply to diabetics. This insulin overload affects the levels of testosterone production, which in turn affects estrogen production, which causes lack of ovulation. So that explains why I can't get knocked up.
Getting told I had PCOS was odd...I was eerily calm. I listened to everything that my doctor told me, and was actually focused enough to ask relavent questions. But when I called and told my husband and my mom, I almost lost it.
My doctor, Dr. H, ordered an endocrine panel, which measures all sorts of hormones like LH, FSH, testosterone, and insulin, among others. I had the labs done the morning after the appointment. They are usually supposed to be done on day 3,4 or 5 of your cycle, but Dr. H told me to go ahead anyway, even though I was on day 12. He said that he would see in the lab results that I was mid-cycle and that we might run them again next month, but that he didn't want to wait that long to run the initial labs. So like a good patient, I fasted that night and had the labs drawn the next morning. At 3:00, Dr. H's nurse called me and told me that all the labs were within normal limits, but that it doesn't necessarily mean something's not wrong. Dr. H wants to see me next week. I have an appointment on Thursday, October 11, but am going to try to move it up to Wednesday so that Dave can go with me.
Speaking of Dave, Dr. H recommended that he get a sperm analysis, which will run us about $100 and which our insurance will not pay for. Luckily, we have good insurance which will cover most of our costs this early in the game, but I have a feeling that this will only be the first of many hundreds that we shell out trying to get pregnant.
