Another Dr Appt and Medical Discoveries

Today I had a check up with the doctor. Everything went good. After reviewing the past two months the dr feels I should keep taking the glucophage for the next couple months and see if it works. Now that I am feeling better I think this is the best option. If there is NO pregnancy by the end of the summer then we are going to try fertility drugs. The dr says there is an even higher chance of multiple babies with polycystic due to the fact there are more eggs ready to be released and when you "feed" them fertility drugs they are all released. Given that information we will be waiting to take the fert. meds.

My new found medical discovery is that Milk of Magnesia (yes the laxative pastey stuff) works great for acne. I had read a number of articles about it but discredited the information. In my desperation to treat my acne I gave it a try. I am seeing amazing results! I wish I would have given it a try prior to spending $200 in medicating creams that burned my face. I would recommend anyone with "cystic acne" to try it. After washing your face you apply a thin coat over your face. You can wash it off after 15 min or sleep with it on. It also works great at absorbing oil so you can put a thin layer over your oily areas (T zone) and add lotion and makeup over the top. AMAZING. Safe for pregnancy, so if you are pregnant and having major hormonal acne, give it a try! No one likes zits so pass the info on.

I like that you are blogging about this whole experience. It also made me dust my own blog off after ignoring it since October.

Hope all is well!
