Hey Kalie, I can relate in a lot of ways. I am 23 years old. I was dx with PCOS when I was 19, I have known something wasen't right since I was about 15 or 16. I have been married for 4 years now. I was only on birth control for six months and decided I wanted to TTC. My dr. was kinda misleading telling me that provera would help regulate my periods and help me, what she didnt tell me that it was a low dose of BC! After I did some research I told her to put me on something else. I started out taking metformin 500mg a day for months and had to up my dose to 1000mg a day. After taking meformin for 3 months I got pregnant. I now have a 13 month old little boy. He is truly a blessing from God. I too was depressed when I found out that I may not be able to have children. I have read that appx. 80% of women with pcos can have kids..it just takes more time with some. The symptoms of pcos vary so much with everyone. Since I have had my baby I have had a terrible time trying to loose weight, as if it wasent hard enough before!..Good luck TTC.. ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE! |
