medication change

so i'm not as patient as i thought. truth is, i've never really been very patient. in fact i suck at it. i get really grouchy when i'm stuck in traffic or behind a school bus. i start to get irritated when i'm talking with someone who just. can't. seem. to. spit. out. their. sentence. i will generally be very nice to you....as long as i don't have to wait forever for you. wow. that sounds terrible. i'm starting to realize that this experience is probably a chance to learn the patience i never seem to have much of.

all that said, i ran out of patience two days ago waiting for something to happen. i thought i might finally be getting my period, but then, of course, it didn't happen. so i called my doctor's office. and i switched meds and doses...again. i'm still on metformin but now i'm on a higher dose, taking it more times during the day (twice instead of once) and it's now an extended release formula, instead of the once a day spike i was getting before. so this means (i think) that it will be in my system more consistently throughout the day, hopefully having a greater affect on my body's insulin and hormone levels to regulate/normalize things. i think i can go up one more dose beyond this before we need to figure something else out. i'm glad didn't wait until my next appointment to do something. that would have been forever. hopefully we can reevaluate at that appointment to see what we can do next. or maybe. just maybe. this will do the trick and i'll finally ovulate. a girl can hope right?
