Our newest 180

So, while there is nothing happening on the adoption front, and with us being as fed-up as we are, we decided to make a 180 turn and go in the opposite direction. We went to see a fertility specialist.

First impressions say a lot. The office, the staff, the med student, and the doctor--- all super sweet & awesome! I was super impressed. The office wasn't over flowing with patients, the doctor could take her time with us, which she did. We didn't find out much more than we already knew. The doctor has to send off for our medical records from our other doctors. But we did find out that I do not have PCOS. The dr. did an ultrasound and my follicles looked normal. So that is good news. But she did put me on a 1200 calorie a day diet, because I am overweight. I won't deny that; I do love food.
So I started the diet Friday. Got a killer headache that afternoon. Went to bed when I got home. Saturday, I had absolutely no energy to do anything. But I figured out that I have to eat a good breakfast and then less during the day. I did that Sunday and today, and I feel much better. So Big in the a.m. medium at lunch, and little for supper. :)
Good news is that, as of today, I've lost 7 pounds. I don't know where, but that's what the scale says.
