Oh my goodness, you look AMAZING!!! Way to go!
The most weight I've ever lost is 40 pounds. I wanted to get to 60 but I just got so burnt out after 40 that I kind of gave up, so I know just how commendable it is to keep going! You are such an inspiration!
I'm so sorry to hear about the PCOS diagnosis. When my doctor told me I have it I was devastated. I think my mind went to all of the same places yours has. I was so worried about having to turn to expensive and invasive procedures to get pregnant. I know every person and every body is different, but here's what "worked" for me if you'd like to hear a success story.
I think the biggest thing with PCOS is don't rush to Clomid, the reason being that you really only get 3-4 good cycles with it before you should move on. I think Metformin does help the effectiveness of Clomid, but it takes a while. I believe the recommended time is 4-6 months. I started Met in November (1700 mg) but didn't start Clomid until March. The doctor kept offering it sooner but I decided to wait. During the time on the Met, I still didn't ovulate, but it did its purpose in getting my insulin levels under control, which apparently is very important for ovulation. I was at a 12 pre-Met and the last time I had them tested right before Clomid they were at an 8, which my doctor considered "normal".
I struggled a lot with, do I jump in right away and start Clomid or do I wait it out? I think once you decide you want to have a baby you want it right now and waiting a few months seems like forever, but ultimately I figured waiting a few months to give the easiest and cheapest treatment option (Clomid) the best chance was worth it. I also tried to lose some weight while doing just the Met, which you've clearly got under control! My doctor said with PCOS, even 10 pounds can make a big difference. The month I started Clomid I decided to go all-out. Obviously I was still on the Met, but I wanted to try to combat every possible negative side-effect of Clomid, like decreased cm and a thin lining. Who knows if these things worked, but I like to think they did! I drank 8 oz of pomegranate juice every day from day one of my cycle until the day I ovulated to help with my lining and took 1 600 mg tablet of the regular Musinex (just the expectorant with no other medicine) CD 1 to O to assist with the mucous issue. I also continued the basal body temping and did OPKs twice a day (confusing of course, since PCOS gives you plenty of false positives. I actually had one fake positive before the only real positive I've ever gotten).
I can't tell you how excited I was when I actually ovulated for the first time! Then I found out I apparently had a "weak" ovulation thanks to my progesterone levels and my doctor basically said come in in 2 weeks and we'll try again. When I found out I was pregnant I was shocked and went to the doctor right away to have my progesterone checked again, since unfortunately PCOS doesn't just cause problems with getting pregnant but staying pregnant as well. I literally demanded to be put on prog. suppositories, which I continued until 13 weeks and I stayed on the Met during that time too.
I'm sorry to write such a book, I just know that when I was first diagnosed I wanted all of the info I could get and hearing positive stories helped me to stay positive. As cliche as it sounds, I think that is important, too. I actually kept repeating to myself, every day, that the Clomid was going to work. I thanked God for the pregnancy before I was pregnant. I never once thought it wasn't going to work. Coincidence? Possibly, but I definitely believe in the power of positive thinking.
Again, I am so sorry you have to deal with PCOS. Just know that you can and you will beat it. I can't tell you when or how, but you will. Arm yourself with as much information as you can and the best possible treatment plan and just tell yourself that this will work.
Ok, so as for what you were really asking for opinions on
I say go. I am normally very anti-debt and pro-savings and I like to put those above everything else, but sometimes memories and happiness and the magic of a week at Disney are more important than the size of your savings account or the depth of your debt. I felt the same way when I booked our October trip. At first, I wondered if it was foolish because the threat of expensive IF treatments was still there. After finding out I was pregnant I worried because, obviously, babies are expensive. But in the end I remembered that I have never regretted a trip to Disney and I've never once wished I could have had the money I spent there back to use towards something else.
Ok, I will stop writing now. If you've actually read all of this, I am very impressed!
