My Mood:  Points: 77.29 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 77.29 |  Hi I'm new to the group
Name: Heya my name is Eilish and I am new to this group.
Age: 25
Family Situation: Married a year now, have a dog that is my baby at the moment.
PCOS Symptoms: Irregular periods, Spots and excess hair on different parts of my body, thinning of hair and sore scalp. I feel tired all day even though I eat healthy, with plenty of fruits and vegs, cant get out of bed in the morning think I might be depressed. Cysts on my ovaries.
Meds used: Dianette, the only reason was for my skin and to try regulate my periods, but I noticed I had no sex drive and when I did it was quite painful lost alot of confidence so I came off it. My sex drive has returned but now I constantly feel tired, it’s an every day struggle with PCOS.
NHS/Private?: Don’t have nhs in Ireland but for years I was visiting my gp and I was so fed up not getting any answer's I decided to go private, it was confirmed 2 weeks ago I had PCOS, but saying that the doctor was so rude and didn’t give me any further info not unless I wanted to get pregnant, I still feel like im in the dark with this. Don’t know anything about insulin or alot of other stuff you guys have been talking about. It’s so hard because I can’t get my head round this. This week I took a trip to my GP told her everything the specialist told me she is now giving me a different story, she said because I am not over weight I have a mild case of PCOS and that I will be able to conceive naturally. Well I don’t know what to think, one is say saying different than the other.
Action Taken: I've ordered books on PCOs and on the insulin factor because I cant get an info out of the doctors they don’t want to know, not unless I want to get pregnant I feel like the race is on and im not able to handle the stress and the let downs that’s in store for me.
PM or E-mail: e-mail email me if you have any info you have to share or if you just want to have a good waffle and get it off your chest. skutzerella@yahoo.com
Any other info: I hope we can help each other I would love to talk to other women with PCOS and share different stories and experiences, Thanks.
