Well I got off the pill 5mo. ago (hopeing to let my hormones regulate themsleves for a few mo. before my husband & I began trying to get pregnant) and little did I kno, I was opening a can of worms! After the 3rd mo. of not having a period, I went to see an OB doctor. They did a pelvic exam and took my blood. Everything felt normal and the prego & thyroid tests came back negative. I went back the next day for a sonogram to find out that I had many follicle cysts on my ovaries... which they say is "probablly" polycystic ovarian disease. The following week they had me take an injection of Progesterone to jump start my period. Indeed, it did start that next week but now, after 6wks, im back to nothing again! This is SO crazy to me because I was regular before I ever began the pill and was ofcourse regular while on it. Sooo, i began trying to research this PCOS which is why I am now more CONFUSED than ever! All the documents I have read say that it is mainly caused from a blood insulin problem with the side effects of facial hair, acne, hair loss and obesity. I have NONE of these! In fact, i only weigh about 107-110lbs. I have NEVER had any problems with acne or facial hair. My hair is fine but I have alot and it has always been that way. I am one who loves to eat healthy and excercise 5days a week so I dont understand how my blood sugar could be off! I DONT understand ANY of this and feel its starting to take over my life!
Im used to beeing chipper & chatty and lately I have been kinda quiet and sad. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS THAT COULD GIVE ME SOME WORDS OF ADVICE?? Could this PCOS be caused from ANYTHING else besides blood sugar levels? Such as going off the pill, beeing too thin, stress, or anything that COULD apply to me? It seems my doctor is dragging her feet to just test my hormone or sugar levels! She just wants to focus on whether I want to take fratility drugs and start trying to get pregnant or to throw me back on birth control! Cant a girl just want to figure out whats wrong and fix it first? I have an apt. this week but I dont want to just choose between Clomid or birth control! So, in the meantime, does ANYONE have any answers or suggestions??? If so, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fill me in! I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!!!
