We went back to the doctor on Thursday for our blood results. She said "I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that I can't find anything wrong and the bad news is that I can't find anything wrong." So here we are.
She did say that she thinks that I have a mild case of PCOS. She recommends that I get on The South Beach Diet and exercise regularly. We got a gym membership two weeks ago, so I can scratch that off my list. However, cutting out sweets, I still haven't managed to scratch that off completely. My doctor also recommends that I take a baby aspirin daily and begin taking Metformin. In a nutshell, these two meds might help me sustain my next pregnancy. We shall see.
I am not super excited about taking Metformin. It has some nasty side effects that I am not too thrilled about. I wish I could just opt for diet and exercise for a few months and see where that takes us. But since my problem is keeping the baby and not conceiving, I do not want to have a fourth miscarriage in order to figure out if it worked. On the bright side, I should lose some weight. When you combine all three (diet, exercise, and Metformin), they make for a great weight loss program.
All I can do now is follow the doctor's orders and wait and see what God has planned. I am reminded of what He told me before the miscarriage "wait on me and I will take care of you." That's all we can do, right?

I'm so sorry. I know you wanted answer. Something to go on. Its not easy, its not fun. But if He said to wait on Him because He is going to take care of you, then you know He will. The waiting is the worst because He has not told you HOW He will take care of you. Keep your head up.. the positive is that you get to keep trying, and well... if you have to keep trying on something.. there are worse things :-)
I just found your blog from a comment on Christy's. I hope you don't mind me reading it. All I can say is that God has perfect timing and it's all in His hands. I'm sure I have shared my story with you. And if not I will because God truly answered prayers! I thought I was only going to be the Best Aunt ever. And God had other plans. I have been praying for you since that MOPS retreat last Summer and will continue to pray for God to bless you with another child. Love in Christ, Amy Reese
Suzy you are absolutely right! There could be much worse things to keep trying on. Amy, I don't mind at all. You did tell me about your little "miracles" and thanks for keeping us in your prayers. By the way, the night we did the babysitting for MPOS, it was great that I got to hang out with your mom in the baby room. She had encouraging words to share and a good listening ear :)
