hi girls, thought i would pop in to meet some local girls, everyone on my board is american!!!

i have always had PCOS, never had regular periods at all since they started at about 14 - i went on BCP at 16yrs cause i couldnt face not knowing when my next period would come and was always scared i would leak! i didnt worry about PCOS, my blood hormone levels were checked every so often but didnt need to do anything about them other than stay on BCP.

After spliting with a long-term boyfriend at age 20yrs i stopped BCP and didnt have period for 2.5 yrs so went back on BCP again to feel more "normal".

In 2003 i met my now husband and waarned him that my periods had disappeared and i may never be able to give him children - he was fine with that and we decided that when we were ready for kids, if we didnt conceive we would adopt - no worries.

so in 2006 i came off BCP to try and see what would happen but attended gynae privately to see what they would say - she did internal scan and confirmed PCOS and put me on metformin to help me lose weight and see what my cycles would do. that was in May, at end of August i got BFP and Sam was born May 2007.

since he was born my cycles came every month, sometimes skipping one month but rarely. we were trying but not using any meds and got another BFP 5th Jan 2009 - i am now 10weeks and everything is going very well. the only problem is sharing a mummy thread with girls from USA who get such early USS, i really want to see my baby and hear heartbeat, but alas, first appt isnt until 19th march!!! (good old NHS!)

nice to meet you all
love and hugs, saz xxxx
