During my past couple of days off, I decided to go bumming around at the library and book stores looking for any information about thin, non insulin resistant PCOS. My search left me pretty disappointed.
The majority of the books out there are geared towards woman that are overweight and that have insulin resistance. I can't tell you how many times I read this quote, "70% of women will begin to ovulate if they just lose weight." I don't think I will be able to lose any weight. I'm already at a BMI of 20.5.
I was really hoping to find some information out there regarding fertility success stories of women who present like I do...thin, no physical symptoms, and no insulin resistance. I think that that's what I need right now--the success stories. I've been reading over and over again about all of the failed IUIs and IVFs that I begin to wonder if there is really hope for me. But it feels like there really aren't too many women out there in my position. Which I guess is why Doc B thinks I'm going to be tricky.
Speaking of which, there is nothing more frustrating waiting for your period to show up so you can start a new treatment. I have never cared more in my life about getting my period. I feel like I've turned back the clock to when I was 13 anxiously awaiting for that milestone that officially makes you a "woman." I know I should try and keep busy and finish everything around the house, but I get sucked into the internet and trying to find out more about PCOS.
That's pretty much all for now...
