Jenny,you are more help then you realize. I have been so depressed about having PCOS. I want a baby so bad. I am having a hard time losing weight,though I did check my weight last week and I lost 10lbs in a month. Im like how did that happen? I wasnt doing anything different. I am on Metformin and that does seem to suppress my appetite, but since Im depressed I eat anyways. I had my daughter 2.5 years ago and with the weight that I gained with her (I only gained 21 lbs, very proud of myself
) and with the weight that I have with the PCOS I have gained a total of 70 lbs. I feel so ugly. My husband says that he doesnt see that I have gained weight but deep down I just feel like he is just being nice. I just want to be under 200 lbs again. Question, who got pregnant on just losing weight and/or taking metformin? I haven't had AF for god knows how long. Probably about 6 or more months and even that was with medicine. I hate taking the Metformin because it drops my blood sugars so low. Before I started taking Metformin I had problems with low blood sugars and Met is only making it worse. My Dr was like thats what its supposed to do.
I love my Dr. He is a excellent Dr but sometimes it just feels like he doesnt pay attention to what Im saying sometimes.
Right now the lower back pain and the really bad pelvic pain is keeping me from doing my job. Right now Im a PCA (Personal Care Attendent). I go in my clients houses and clean their houses, take them to Dr appts, give them their meds, take them to the grocery store,etc. And its getting to the point I cant even do that anymore. I have two clients and have had to go to just one because of all the cleaning that the other one wanted me to do. She had all these bookselves and little knick knacks and I was up and down, up and down on a step stool. By the time that I left work I would be bawling because I hurt so bad. Plus I have no engery because of the Met.
I know I sound like a big baby. I just can't help it. I hurt 24/7. Even sometimes when I take pain meds (usually loratabs) it doesnt even faze it. And the only thing that the Dr says to do is to take the pain meds and to rest anytime I feel tired. So what am I supposed to do, lay around all day. LOL. Because that is what I would do. I know that there is women all around the world that have PCOS, and go to work and suck it up and go on with their daily routine, which is what I have been doing, but I dont know how much longer I can do that. My DH says that I dont have to work but I want to to pull my end of the money. My DH even says that he will get a 2nd job if he has too. God I love him so much. But right now we are living with my inlaws to help out with my father in law (who has Alzheimers) and to pay some bills off. Also to save some money up to get into another place. So I am helping to pay some of the bills off with me working.
WOW!!! I feel sooooo much better to get all of that off my chest!! Thanks everyone for letting me vent. I know that I have some AWESOME CYSTERS here with me to help me with whatever I need!!
