Weight Loss and more tests

I weighed myself.  And while I'm not comfortable enough to say how much I weigh just yet, I am proud to say I've lost 12 lbs this year.  While I've lost 12 lbs I am happy to announce that I've kept it off up to date.  My next goal is 10 lbs-which will put me at 22 lbs for the total this year.  This will put me under a weight I haven't seen in about 5  years.  This alone is exciting and if nothing happens on the baby front, knowing I am that much lighter is such an awesome feeling.
Last week I started taking dexamethason.  1 .5mg pill every 6 hours for a 48 hr period.  Apparently I have a high level of testosterone in my body which is a major factor in PCOS and while I haven't been diagnosed in that yet-I'm thinking it's coming and soon.  I did blood work to see if those pills helped my testosterone levels and eagerly waiting for the results.  I'm ready to move on to the next steps and I'm hoping to find out soon.  I hate waiting.  It make me more and more restless knowing I am literally in a waiting game right now and will probably be for a while.

  1. Congrats on the weight loss! That is a great accomplishment! Hope your new drug works out and you don't get the dreaded PCOS diagnosis, although I hear you on the waiting, it's usually worse than whatever the diagnosis itself it seems half the time.
