Dr's Appointment and other news

Well I called the dr's office and finally got ahold of the nurse after playing a day of phone tag with her.  I have another dr's appointment scheduled for November 3rd!  Hopefully good things come out of this appointment.  I've been having pain in my left side-which could quite possibly be ovary pain.  This is kind of exciting because what if it means they are working correctly! lol I'm lame I know-but it's possible. 
Also in other news.  Today marks 4 full days that I dropped sodas like a bad habit!  Not only did I drop them-I also dropped every other type of liquid.  I've been strictly on water and I am so proud of myself.  Me=world's biggest Dr. Pepper lover!!!!  While it's been hard (yesterday I had my first headache!!) I keep remembering how hard I want to lose the next 10 lbs.  I want to be able to buy a size smaller pants.  I know if  keep pushing and keep my eye on the prize I WILL see the results I'm looking for.  If losing weight is the first step to becoming healthy and getting my cycle on track I am all for it! :) Please send major vibes I can hold off for a while longer.  I lasted 8 weeks last time on no sodas-but I was also allowing myself tea, gatorade, lemonade....this time it's strictly water.  I can do this!!!

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.
