The nurse practioner on post did them at the right times in my cycle & her & the endocrinologist she sent me to said I def. have PCOS. We've been TTC since July & my lack of AF was the primary reason I went to her. I took all my prior records from the mis-diagnoses with me to my appt. so that helped her suspicisions. My PCM actually told me I needed to see the NP that she didn't handle "these issues".
Thank goodness she did. I'm lucky to have an awesome NP.
I thought I'd have to wait the full year of TTC but she said since I have PCOS they want to get me pregnant ASAP. I'm seeing the endo & an OB/GYN now who has increased my met & given me provera & clomid.
Good luck...hope everything is as easy for you as it's been for me. |
Wow! It's a relief to hear things have been easy for you! Hopefully I'll have the same luck! I've been off BCP's for 6mos now & we haven't been TTC but we're not avoiding either. Someone told me since we weren't preventing (and because of the PCOS) they may count that toward my 12mos of trying. I just hope I'm overreacting about my PCM/TriCare and it won't be that big of a deal. I guess we could switch to Standard if necessary so I can have a little more freedom but I won't worry about that until I've done what I can with Prime.
One thing that works in my favor--we'll only be in Texas for a year and then we move to San Diego so I'll have another PCM anyway!
