At least your dr. has done that much. I can't get anyone to take my concerns serious. I've experienced an irregular cycyle and weight gain for the last 5 years. Have only 3 cycles in a years is a major issue for me. Okay right now I am not ttc but I would like to know what is wrong and if the problem can be corrected.

He did blood tests, but didn't check hormone levels. He checked things like the lipid panel and also checked my fasting glucose level and insulin levels, which were okay. He suggesting not that I go on a low carb diet, but that I attempt to lose weight. He suggested trying weight watchers, (so far this week, the 1st week, I have lost 4 lbs!) and if that doesn't work, then I am to go back and see him to try something like Metformin. I am just wondering if this all sounds normal, or if I should check with someone else. I am currently only seing my family doctor. I have all of the symptoms and test high on the pcos support quiz, but he hasn't actually diagnosed FOR SURE that I have pcos. I'm kinda confused! |
