Visit with Dr. Leavitt

So this morning (early morning), I had an appointment with Dr. Leavitt about my infertility problems. I do have to say that I am over joyed that he likes to do the cheaper stuff first than go to the bigger things. He seems like an awesome guy. He personally knows my older sister, Amanda and the best part about this doctor is that he's been through infertility himself. Anyways, here are the details.

1. I will be back on Metformin. 500mg for one week, 1000mg the following week for 2 weeks and 1500mg after that. He said that I will probably taking it until I hit 24 weeks and get an insulin test done to see if I would need to be on it the whole time or if I am fine without it. My older sister was actually ok with me going back on Metformin after asking some question about it.

2. I will also be taking Folic Acid 4 times a day. He said that by increasing the dosage amount on this vitamin will also help getting pregnant. It also helps with the development of the fetus brain too.

3. I have to stay on the clomid and provera so that I actually have cycles. He wants me to stay on the 100mg for the clomid. 

We will be doing this for 3 - 6 months and see what happens. After that time period,  he will run some test and some ultrasounds to check the my uterus and ovaries. If there he finds another problem he will probably work on that for a little while and if not than he will be having me try IUI and then IVF. When he told me the price that would cost for 4 of them, I couldn't believe it. 20,000 for 4 IVF and if none of them works I will get all the money back. 

And now I have to get a hold of Dr. Wheeler to see if she wants me to stay on some of the supplements that I am on. I will also have to test my  thyroid again to see how it is doing now. I think it's doing ok now. I have not have insomnia for a long time now. And Dr. Leavitt has agreed to communicate with Dr. Wheeler whenever I go see him. He told me that he will send all the notes from the appointment to Dr. Wheeler so that she is up to date on everything.

I am also thinking if my I have another high risk pregnancy than I may just stay with him. I don't know much about the other doctors in town but I am happy with the ones that I have right now. ^-^ Anyways, that's about it. I am going to go study up on Folic Acid so I know exactly what it does for me and getting pregnant.
