Well, again it has been a long time since I posted! Lifes been up and down, round and round...just kinda hectic. Started yet another job-actually I went through a couple this winter. It was kind of a shitty time for a couple months! Worst winter ever! But that's another blog lol. I started seeing a new OB, she is no RE, but she is really smart and really open minded. She did some blood work and such, but she was convinced I was misdiagnosed with POF. She is convinced I have PCOS instead-which I always thought I had until I was told I had POF. She put me on Provera to attempt to bring on a period. I was a bit rude to her because everything she was doing was supporting her theory of what was wrong with me. I told her I would take the Provera just to prove her wrong (lol doctors just love me btw, I am such a cooperative patient). I have always heard, and read, that if provera doesn't induce a period that you may have pof, so I told her when it didn't work I would call her and let her know that she was wrong. She did some blood work, she said she would run the labs for pof, but I never heard back about it. Her office called back and was concerned with my thyroid levels, and asked me to come in for more labs and referred me to an endocrinologist. I haven't met with her yet, I go on the 28th. My OB said that a lot of my problems could stem from my thyroid level and that when I got that under control she would run more tests. Thats all I heard about that. I was starting to get pissy about my OB- thinking I got stuck with another Dr that didn't know crap about what was wrong with me. I've had a miserable case of me knowing more about pof than the DRs I've been seeing about it. So needless to say I was bitter and snippy about the provera- but alas, I must now eat my own words because it actually worked! I am currently visiting AF!!! It has been well over a year, probably closer to two years, since AF has been around. The only time I ever have a period is when I'm on BC, so when I went off of it three years ago, I dont know if I ever had another one honestly. So imagine my surprise when I started spotting and it gradually turned into a normal flow. So now I don't really know what to think. I'm not ready to start agreeing with her about being misdiagnosed with POF. I've not really found anything about provera 100% NOT working for someone with POF, so in my mind I could just be one of the people it works for. But either way, I am excited that it brought on AF, I never thought I'd see her again lol!
Hopefully I can get my thyroid under control and go back to my OB with some kind of good news. She gave me a three month supply of the provera, and wants to see me back in six months to see how the progress is coming along. She said something about trying Clomid- which of course I do not expect to work. But hell, I would probably try anything, especially since she was at least right about the provera working for me.
Anyhow, I will probably be writing a bit more to report any and all small successes. Here's hoping I get a step closer to figuring all this mess out, and a step closer to a BFP. :)
