I went to see the doctor two weeks ago and as anticipated she took me off the oral contraceptives. We briefly discussed my concern about the PCOS symptoms. The result of that is a referral an (expensive) endocrinologist. I’ll have more on that when I finally see the endo on the 31st. We’ll know for sure then if the OC is what’s causing the spike in blood pressure.

Where does this leave the blog? I’m definitely not abandoning it – I’ve continued my low salt diet just to help things along. What I’m going to do though is to expand the scope of the blog. I’m now going to write about PCOS and my experiences with it as well. There will be a bit of TMI, but I know you don’t really mind.
