Going for Goal!
I had my very first positive gynaecology appointment today
The consultant I saw was extremely nice and very helpful. He was extremely pleased with my weight loss since I was last seen. My BMI (according to hospital notes) has gone from 49.7 to 38.8
He explained the reasons for my last appointment being so 'abrupt'. I explained I'd gone to hospital in Portsmouth (where I was then living) only to be told to loose at least 5 stone and then go back. He said according to my notes, when living in Manchester (where I was born and first diagnosed) my BMI was 47.6 and I was told then to loose weight (true ) upon my next appointment in Portsmouth, the Consultant was shocked that my BMI has raised even further. He said that with PCOS it is difficult to treat 'effectively' when so overweight. But then went on to say, because of my weighloss and BMI being under 40, he is happy to treat me and help in any way he can :cryhappy tears!)
I had a smear and a scan - last time I had a scan, they had to abondon it and use a camera during a smear because they couldn't 'see' anything because I was sooo overweight - but today - I SAW MY OVARIES ON SCREEN!!!!
I then weed on an ovulation stick, and I am currently ovulating! (my last totm was a few weeks ago) BUT he said, although you are ovulating, there is a possibility you wont be releasing any eggs.
I now need to make an appointment with my GP as he is going to write her a letter to say that I can be prescribed the drug 'metaformin' which he says will help my angrogen levels, ovulation and release of eggs. Also, when I next have a totm I have to go to the Dr's to have bloods taken, which will tell him whether I am releasing eggs.
I have another appointment booked to see him in December - where he has said he wants me to loose at least another 2 stone - which we all know will definitely happen on CD
So all in all, my appointment was very productive and informative. It has really opened my eyes to how much my weight has effected me, and what amazing changes can happen to my body in shedding the weight.
I LOVE THE CAMBRIDGE DIET !
