Hormones suck.

Ok, so since I have been on face book a lot of my friends ask how we're doing and there's that question I hate to answer. "Do we have any kids?" Well right now it is a no and here is why. For the past few years Clint and I really haven't been trying, but we aren't doing anything to stop it either. So after my cycles starting coming farther and farther apart I decided to see a doctor about it. As it turns out I am not ovulating. So I have been placed on Progesterone for 10 days to make my cycle come then I will be put on Klomid to make me ovulate. The Progesterone makes me very tired and I am hungry all the time. I've gained 2 pounds in the last 9 days. But the doctors are worried that it might now work, because I have a lesion in my pituitary gland. That is the master gland that controls almost all the hormones in the body. I've known about the lesion since 2002 I was suppose to have a follow up MRI in 6 months, but we lost our insurance. I just got the follow up MRI last month to see if it has gotten any bigger and it has, but not by much. The scary thing is my neurologist on my last visit changed the description from lesion to tumor. But the problem now is, did it just start growing? Because my hormones have only started to act funny the last few months. So we'll just have to see how it goes. We have to get my body back on track before kids are even an option.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Its hard. I really hope that they figure something out. MRI's make me so scared I hate them. Good luck. Let us know how we can help.
