Name Deirdre
Age 33
Family situation Married to Calum for nearly 6 years, one daughter, Anna. Working Mum - I work full time in childcare, DH is a SAHD.
PCOS symptoms Difficulty conceiving, we tried for 3 years for Anna and charted, timed BD, suffered one miscarriage and eventually used Clomid.
Excess Hair - urgh
Irregular cycle - ranges anywhere from 19 days to 18 months and sporadic ovulation.
Some excess weight, but not IR as far as I know. Succesfully losing on a healthy eating diet.
Multiple cysts on both ovaries
Worst thing about PCOS Right now it's the hair
Medication used I used Clomid - 50mg - to conceive Anna. Conceived on the 2nd month.
NHS or Private NHS - I attended my GP, who is very supportive and interested in women's health issues and then the New RIE in Edinburgh, where I saw Dr Tay. He was very positive and helpful.
Action taken against PCOS I'm currently trying to lose weight in preparation for ttc #2, I'm hoping that by shifting some weight I can make my cycle more regular, so far it's not made much of an impact, but I've have two 7 week cycles recently which is good for me!
PM or Email? I'm happy for anyone to PM or email me, my email address is
deeds@soulcysters.com . Bear with me though as I'm not online as much I'd like to be!!! I'd be interested in hearing how people deal with their excess hair, what products are used and how succesful they are, the time it takes to do this etc!
Any other information Think that's it!!! LOL
