Hi,

I got so excited to read your messages. I decided to re-post a message I put in another thread here. One difference is that before BC pills I wasn't regular. I 've always been fighting with too long menstruations and after I got of BC the lack of them. The policysts were present already at the age of 19, nobody told what it meant, until I wanted to conceive.
So this is my story:

Hi,

I also have the same problems. I am not overweight no excessive body-hair. Last Friday I went to the gyno and was diagnosed even before getting a blood test. I was shocked and left the gyno crying. After the weekend I decided not to rush into clomid and the whole medical cycle. Yes I have the follicles on my ovaries, however I believe I can ovulate on my own. I've been through stress lately and haven't got a period after February ( a pattern I recognise from previous stress periods, it just blocks everything). But, before, with a healthy lifestyle (jogging, gives me endorphines, I just love it), I actually managed to have my periods once per month. I'm on duphaston (7 days) now, in order to get my periods back. The gyno asked me to have a blood test on CD3 and come back as soon as I want to start with clomid. First, I would like to see the blood test results!
I feel like she is pushing me too much. I hate that. Yes I want a child desperately, but first lets figure out how my body works. I planned to monitor my temperature every morning. Not very pleasant, you have to do it rectally (yagh!). I give myself till September, I am still 31. After that, I will consider medication...whatever there is available.

wish you all good luck my strong cysters. big kiss and hug from Amsterdam.


All the best,

The thing is, I also want to regain control over my body. I want to understand it and not to be rushed towards radical medication.
I am so happy that you guys understand it. I was told I was getting obsessive about it. I totally disagree. I just want to understand this syndrome, I don't think the doctors do.
If it was to me I would have had blood tests at least once a weak so I could monitor the hormone levels. Am I asking too much? Besides, the hormones, including BCs make me sick and extremely moody. I would like to postpone that as much as possible.
