Name: Rhonda
Age: 30
Family Situation: Married to Paul on 10th August 05. No kids, but recently got Westie puppy - Ellie.
PCOS Symptoms: Alot of facial hair, very overweight, very irregular periods until after 6 years of taking Dianette. TTC for 5 years during first marriage, but with little advice or help from GP. Have stopped Dianette and any BCP for over 12 months now, and AF regular every 31 days, until this month. I am sure its going back to pre-bill irregularity. Tiredness, all the time!
Worst thing about PCOS: Facial hair and massive weight gain and tiredness. I also obsess about becoming a mother, and get deeply depressed at the thought that this might never happen.
Meds used: Have never been prescribed any meds.
NHS/Private?: NHS, but eventually stopped going when split with first husband.
Action Taken: I have really only been doing the BD when I know its supposed to be 'o' time, but I dont even actually know if I am. Until finding this site, I didnt even know 1% of the PCOS facts that I know now, so I have just made an appt with my GP to get more info from my file from 6 years ago.
PM or E-mail: A pleasure to hear from anyone. E-mail
rhonda.bradley@deni.gov.uk Any other info: I am disgusted at how little support and info I received from the hospital years ago. I do not intend to let this happen again this time, and I would be very grateful for any advice my UK cysters can offer.
