Default Thanks for sharing

I had a very rare thing happen during my pregnancy, vasa previa, that no one had ever heard of before. I know there's a lot out there to learn about but I thank you for sharing your experience. I have heard about this and am currently deciding what to do about my own situation.

I was having a period every other month, then stopped. Went on BCP. Wanted to have a family...no period. Tried fertility meds, got my period only after meds each month. Doc said he couldn't help. Got dx with PCOS and started a new diet, got my period. Started Metformin, lost weight, had ONE PERIOD and got pregnant. Now my son is 4 months old. We are exclusively breastfeeding. No period yet. My nurse wants me back on Met but I don't want to quite yet. UGH!!!! I'm scared about going to long but exclusive breastfeeding naturally delays the return of periods.

Have I mentioned I HATE PCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm glad you got some info and I hope things work out for you! Again, thank you for bringing this to other people's attention!

Becky
