This is a random question here...but all of you JWs here trying to conceive...do you ever get hassled by people for having kids now? You know, and had them bring up Matt. 24:19 as reason not too?
Just curious, as I've encountered this a lot in my experience...

Stef - NICE NAME I kind of think that everyone that's trying to get pregnant gets that from some friends. Some think you should wait until the new system....why bring a child into this world. What it comes down to though is personal choice! It's really none of their business if they are trying to make you change your mind. I just ignore ones that might say things like that.

Holland--I agree entirely. Funny thing is, very few say the same thing about marrying now in the last days. LOL
On a total side note, I see you're on Glucophage XR. I'm trying to start Metformin ER (same thing, but generic form), however, I am SOOOO sick. I took one 500 mg pill and suffered for three days. I'm curious--how did you get on the med and survive the side effects? Did you get rid of them? Etc. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!

I actually started with Met but it made me very ill! I was switched to Gloucophage by my GYNO a year or so ago. He said the brand is better than Met and so that's why he wanted me on it. Later on another Dr switched it to XR so that the side effects would be less. The only problem I have with it is that right after I eat I'm running to the bathroom...LOL

Hello my sisters!
My name is Rishawna and I was just diagnosed with PCOS a couple of days ago. I had a feeling I had it 15 years ago but lately my symptoms seemed to get unbearable so I visited an endocrinologist.
I am 30 and serving in the Shepherd Park congregation in Washington, DC. I am saving money to attend the International Convention next year in France. I was born and raised in the truth by my mother and I was baptized at age 15. My mother has rheumatoid arthritis and has suffered three strokes in the course of two years, but she still loves Jehovah and is determined to serve him no matter what obstacle comes her way. My father is an unbeliever, but not an opposer. This makes it such a blessing to get her back and forth to the meetings as well as limited service because he helps me lift her and maneuver her.
I came across this site as a source of help for my PCOS. I stumbled into this thread but it is kind of like wow, I can get the full spectrum of sharing and caring with my spiritual "cysters" as well as learn how to cope with this condition. I tell ya, I await the day when we can all be together in Paradise, PCOS free, arthritis free, stroke free, diabetes free, IR free - just free from all the imperfections and sicknesses we are plagued with in this current system. I pray to Jehovah each day to give me the strength to continue to endure.
Welcome Did you happen to attend the DC in Richmond 18-20th? That's the one we attended. I'm the one that stood in the back holding my stomach because it was hurting and swollen from taking Clomid.....LOL Anyway.....you will love going to France! I've been there a couple times while living in The Netherlands. It's so nice!!!! I'm sure it's been difficult with your mom being sick. It's so diffucult to watch our parents get older! There always suppose to be there....you know?

I hear you. My dad died when I was 23. Unless people have been in that situation, they don't know how losing a parent when you're a young adult throws your life into chaos.

YES! The convention in Richmond during the 18-20 was mine!! Aww shucks I wish I knew. We both would have been holding our stomach together, lol. I am not on Clomid b/c I am no where near TTC, but I've been having odd pelvic pain due to something PCOS related. However, I designed some of the props for the drama and some people from my congregation were actually in the drama.
I am excited about France. I went to Hawaii for the International Convention in 2003. I had the time of my life and will never forget it. It was like a mini paradise. Even though we all didn't speak the same physical language, we all spoke the pure language which was so so beautiful.
I did attend the convention in Richmond the 18-20th! Some people from my congregation were in the drama and I made some of the props and helped with the costumes.
I am so excited about France. I went to Hawaii in 2003 for the International Convention then. I had the time of my life. It will definitely go down in my book of memories. It is a bit costly, but it's ok. I've been a saver my whole life and it's times like these I can just turn to my savings and say HELLO! =)
Oops, sorry for the double repeat. Computer froze up and I wasn't sure it posted. However, I'm having another issue today. Today, I am feeling so defeated. I had to go back to my endocrinologist for another blood test. I had a million tests done two days ago and he wanted me to come back in b/c he wanted to test for something called Cushing's Disease. Has anyone reading ever heard of that? So I await those results. Meanwhile, he sat me in his office and closed the door. We all know when the door closes and he sits down and sighs and says, "Well here's the deal..." that it's bad news.
My bad news is along with the PCOS, I have Type 2 Diabetes, Fatty Liver and some genetic predisposition to have a thyroid problem in the future. I just turned 30 for pete's sake! I feel like I've been issued a DEATH WARRANT!! It's hard enough to find a decent brother suitable for marriage in the truth and now GEESH, I'm like a leper! No one will ever want me now!! I've got too many issues.
The doctor said that the basic and best form to get these matters under control is absolutely losing weight through diet and exercise and taking the Met. I had been devising a diet and exercise plan before I received this news this morning and told him about it. He smiled and said that I was on the right track. But I have to admit, when I got to my car, I shed some tears and wished someone could just shoot me like they do sickly, injured horses to put me out of my misery. I start the Met today. He told me to take just one (500mg) with or after dinner for a week, then try to increase weekly. He said he wants me up to four pills a day in about a month. I want to cry right now.
Stef - I can't imagine going through that! I have almost lost my dad several times and let me tell you.....I really hope he and my mom never die! I know I'll be a wreck. It's just so hard to see them go through things. You know they were always there for us when we were kids and even now. Then when they have something like sickness arrive you just want to make it go away I'm so sorry you lost your dad
Marcie - I'm so excited for you!!! It looks so nice It almost looks like you'll be living in a resort.
RLGould27 - Oh my gosh....I can't believe we were so close! Hopefully we can meet next year at the DC. You know I was sitting there during the talks thinking who else in that crowd was going through the same thing DH and I are going through. I wondered which sisters might be on fertility drugs. It's funny how you can start thinking in certian moments.
DH and I are going to Luray VA this weekend for a wedding. A brother I grew up with is getting married to a sister. Their suppose to be getting married in her farm house that has no AC.....that should be fun. My parents were invited too so we are going to ride together and stay in a hotel for the night.
No pregnancy symptoms here yet....only slight pains in my left side. Maybe that's the sextuplets implanting....LOL!!!!
Good night everyone.

Ladies, I have experienced over the past three years, how precious life truly is. My mother has had three life-changing strokes and my father has Type 1 Diabetes where he has to inject himself with insulin. It is hard, grueling, frightening and humbling. Life is too short and too precious to sweat small matters. If there is someone you love and care about, tell them. Let them know. Do something nice for them, help them, whatever. Just be there. And yes, the telephone counts. Point is, make you last thought, your last words unregrettable. Have no regrets when you think of that person. I never really considered it much when I was younger and thought my parents were superheroes, but as of three years ago, have made it a practice.
HOLLAND - We were so close and yet so far. Yes, definitely the next DC, if we are assigned to the same one, we have to arrange to meet. I know what you mean by sitting and thinking who is in the same predicament as you. I am single and unmarried (however I am looking), but I am not taking fertility drugs. The met does make me a little sick, so I was up and down a lot (getting on people's nerves who sat on the end) but nevertheless I was there! =)
How was the wedding? The weather here was really nice. How was it in Luray, VA?
I kind of think that everyone that's trying to get pregnant gets that from some friends. Some think you should wait until the new system....why bring a child into this world. What it comes down to though is personal choice! It's really none of their business if they are trying to make you change your mind. I just ignore ones that might say things like that.

I'm so sorry you lost your dad
