Launching of Oplan: Baby

Several months have passed now. Since July last year, I have not come to my OB for a check-up. A lot of things have happened.... still, no baby. I thought that my husband and I could work on it on our own.

Diane + Met (a repost)

(repost from previous blog)

A couple of visits to my OB after the operation, I was prescribed with Diane 35. Some use this as an oral contraceptive and some for their acne problems.

DIANE-35 ED is used for the treatment of androgen-dependent diseases in women, such as acne (where oral antibiotics or local treatment alone has not been successful), androgenic alopecia and mild forms of hirsutism. It is especially useful for pronounced forms of acne and those accompanied by seborrhea or by inflammation or formation of nodes (acne papulopustulosa, acne nodulocystica).

DIANE-35 ED is also used for oral contraception in women requiring treatment for these androgenic conditions; it is not recommended just for contraception. DIANE-35 ED is also indicated for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Diagnosis: PCOS (repost)

a repost from a previous blog

So I went to see my doctor for the second time since the operation and she immediately reported to me the results of my blood tests. Guess what... no diabetes, but, it showed a high level of insulin, one sure sign of a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. Dr. Sua-Lao said that this is better. She even said that she's glad when they find that the insulin level is high because at least, they know immediately how to treat this instead of blood tests showing normal results. Then, they would have to probe further to distinguish what the problem is.
According to Wiki:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old) and is thought to be one of the leading causes of female infertility.
