 Newly diagnosed here
Hi this is Nikky. This is my first time posting on this board. A short bio of how I got here. My 30 year old husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year with no luck. As soon as I got off the bcp in May 2007, I started piling up weight overnight. To date, I have gained almost 50 pounds. I've always had long cycles but they are now far and few between. Facial hair became darker while is seemed like my hair was limper. I went to 2 different doctors who wrote it off as stress from ttc. Lab work showed that I had low progesterone, did not ovulate but still no answers. We did 2 cycles of clomid. Finally last week, I had enough and drove over 100 miles to visit my old family doctor who ran several blood test and diagnosed me with PCOS. It all makes sense now. I haven't had a period in 43 days and counting.She prescribed metformin 500mg 2xday. Side effects keep me in the bathroom! I am thinking about going back on BCP just to lose this weight! I could go on forever here.
Nice to meet you all |
