 new to the board
Hi
I am new to the board. I wish I knew about this when I was trying to conceive! I am from Ladner, BC and for anyone who is trying and getting frustrated, DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago after trying to get pregnant and miscarrying. I then went to my OB/GYN and she knew just by looking at me. Ran tests etc and the results were horrible. She said that as it was, I would have about a 2% chance of conceiving and I would never carry to term because my hormones were so bad. I then was put on metformin and 6 months later I was pregnant with my daughter (now 3). We waited until she was 1 to start trying again, went back on the metformin, nothing was happening - not even ovulation, so added clomid and 2 months later I was pregnant with my son, now 16 weeks. The metformin made me really sick the whole time I was on it (massive GI upset) and I needed to make sure I was near a bathroom at all times, but if you hang in there, it will happen. Don't lose hope.
I am now looking to find out if anyone has or is using cinnamon to control symptoms of PCOS. I am wanting to lose weight and control hair growth. When on the metformin, I drop weight without trying, but not so easy when I am not on it. I am taking birth control to regulate periods, but I so want to do more, and I do not want to be on metformin for my life, especially when it makes me so sick.
Suggestions?? |
