saw the doc

So on Friday, we saw the Na.Pro Dr.P in Ohio.  He was nice. But he was very direct. His approach to things is very aggressive, I will also assume it is because of our age also.. ( I'm 37 ). Because we were coming so far & I explained, I can't just drive 4 hours every week to see him, we did all our bloodwork ahead of time, so he had all that to go over with us.. Essentially my issue that we have to resolve right now, is not ovulating. So I go on Progesterone to induce a cycle. & then Femara on certain CD's. He wants us to do at least 2 cycles of this, with out TTC.  If things look good, then we can TTC , if nothing looks good in 4-5 months, he wants to do a wedge resection. ( I'm not crazy about the idea of surgery) but he made it sound better, since he can do this robotically. Only about a week recovery.

His second plan of attack, is he wants me on a "plant" based diet. He said NO red meat, only white meat 2-3 times a week. He didn't mention fish.( so i'll have to ask about that ). NO Dairy. No Gluten.  He also had me up my Vitamin D Supplements & take 10,000 i.u.  a day..seems like a lot, but he knows best.  I am also to start vitamin B regimen. He says I have to get more agressive with my insulin resistance ( he thinks i should be on insulin). I differ, but I am going to have my labs drawn again this week, ( I haven't had them done for 12 weeks ) If my blood sugar is down, from last time, I'm fighting the insulin thing.  I have made significant dietary changes in the last 3 months. So we'll see if it reflects in my labs !!  My last labs were still elevated, but have been coming down over the last year.. & after more diet modifications, since march, I have finally been seeing big changes, i.e. weight loss, since I started severely limiting dairy & gluten. ( Although I wasn't 100% eliminating both )

I've been processing all the info that he threw at me. It was a lot to take in. Part of me just wants to throw in the towel & accept that we will not be parents.
