MMR VACCINE

Thursday was an emotional day for many reasons. Friday marked the deadline for many faucets of the case I am working on as a contractor. I also met with my gyno for a post operative exam. Everything is healing nicely. He showed me pictures of my insides. We talked briefly about PCOS, taking Femara and Metformin. He thinks that taking Metformin would be beneficial even tho I do not have documented insulin resistance. This is over his head tho and I will need to talk to the endocrinlogist about actually getting a prescribtion. We talked briefly about Femara. Femara is a drug prescribed to breast cancer patients and post-menopausal women. It has recently been used to induce ovulation. It has less side effects of clomid. My doctor was willing to prescribe this even tho he has never prescribed it before, since we don't have insurance to use the RE.

Then he remembered that I needed the measles vaccine. BOO!!
Thus...I was poked with the measles mumps rubella vaccine. I was fully vaccinated as a child, but the MMR antibody wore off. When I went to the reproductive specialist in May she ordered a series of tests, one of which was to check for the MMR anti-body. Mine was negative!!!! A nurse in Everett administered the shot. She made me take ANOTHER negative pregnancy test. The needle poke didn't really hurt, but the vaccine itself stung very much.

Now my gyno wants me to wait 3 months before actively trying to get pregnant since the MMR is a live vaccine.
