Hi, Im new to this site, so want to share my story Me and my partner had been ttc about 5years. I was diognosed with pcos in 2006 after years of complaining to several gps about my very heavy and irregular periods and terrible boils that broke out wherever possible. They checked my hormone levels and I was then refered to an endocrinologist, great, but seemed a life time to get an appointment, he told me it is very unlikely that I would ever conceive and that I really should try to loose weight if ever I wanted that very little chance but the more I tried to lose weight the less I lost. I came away that day with such disappointment and anger as my dream was always to become a mother and fufil my partners dreams of becoming a dad. With so long to wait till my next appointment with a specialist I found myself complaining to the gp AGAIN, but this time with some luck, I was prescribed with metformin 1500 a day! After what the specialist told me I didnt think that the metformin would help me in any way, and did my best to get over the fact that I would never mother my own children.
With this hanging over me I never realised the symptoms of being pregnant and carried on my life as normal, fighting my disapointment every day.
Then one morning after a long night shift I had a very tramatic mc (12wks) then later a dc. And just 20days after my dc we conceive again, now we are 9weeks pregnant ! Good luck to you all ttc, there is every hope for you all. xxx |
