A quick update from the doctor

 We have been trying to get pregnant again for awhile now, and my normal cycle has become irregular, so I am now undergoing tests to see what is going on.  My doctor feels that one of three scenarios is causing all of this.... I may have PCOS that is just now flaring up, something may be up with my thyroid, or something could be up with my pituitary gland.  So, they drew blood yesterday and I should get the results back by Monday afternoon.  So, I will just wait and pray that this is an easy fix.  The doctor did make some recommendations that I am going to go ahead and follow through with, such as making certain I am eating a healthier diet and getting exercise.  Additionally, she advised that if it is PCOS I will need to start taking a prescription called metformin, and that this will help me to get my cycles regulated, but will also help me to lose weight.  Finally, she also advised that I may have to take clomid which taken in conjunction with the metformin, will greatly increase the odds of me getting pregnant with multiples.... and if that happens, I will have a cerclage and be put on bed rest for the duration of the pregnancy, which will prohibit me from being able to take care of Caitlin.  The thought of that stresses me out, but I know God is in control.  So while I wait, I am praying for wisdom on what God would have us do.  I am also praying for wisdom to know if we should be done with biological  children and start our journey towards adoption.  Bryan really wants one more biological child, so pray that God would give us both peace and a clear direction regarding any future decisions we have to make and how it will impact Caitlin. 

God Bless,
