Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed wit PCOS,I'm 24 years old & have been TTC for about 4 years with no success. Now i'm seeing a Fertility Doc, and she is going to get me on a pill that is going to help me get my period going, after that, she is going to do an ultrasound, i forgot what it was called, it's the one that they put dye in your tubes so that they can see if they are not damages or blocked. Well here is my big fear, they say that the test is extremely painful...can anyone that has gone throught that give me some pointers. I mean i know that any pain is worth it, but still a bit nervous... By the way sorry, not very familiar in abbriviations!

Baby Dust to all you ladies TTC!!!

Hi there,
I am 28 years old and I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed with this last 2007 and we are trying to conceive (TTC) for 2 years now. Like you I am also seeing a Fertility doctor. I am currently on my 2nd cycle of medication.
The one you mentioned regarding the dye, its called
A sono-hysterogram - this is performed to screen for uterine abnormalities and occasionally to detect whether the fallopian tubes are open. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) also checks for uterine problems as well as determining if the fallopian tubes are open.
I underwent this procedure last july and we are thankful because the result was Normal. About the pain, i did not feel any pain at all. They gave me a small amount of anesthesia so I was asleep during the procedure. My OB said that if the procedure was done without this then it would really be painful. I have a colleague who also underwent this procedure without the anesthesia and she felt pain. The procedure was very easy, i think less than half and hour.
Aside from hysterogram I also took some hormone test (blood tests) LH, FSH, Prolactin and i forgot the other one.
I am taking metformin for my PCOS 3x a day and follic acid regularly in preparation for pregnancy.
In two weeks time we will know if I am aleady positive. Im keeping my fingers crossed.
Good Luck to us. I hope this helps...God Bless!!!

Thank you for your help!!! Well things are getting a little complicated, i was suppose to start my period on 11/3/09, and i didnt, my gyno said that if by that time i still didnt have a flow well to call in the office, so that they can go ahead and give me provera to help me start my period. Well i did call in and they prescribed provera, there was a mix up and they end up sendign my prescription to another pharmacy. well i was going to call in the next day to let them know and i started to spott!! I was excited, my flow was here yaaay... Well i waited and didnt get my meds, thinking i had a flow...well i was dead wrong all i did wa spott, so i kept saying to myself..."im gonna get it soon...and a week passed and it didnt happen...so there goes me again and called my gyno...finally i picked up my porvera and i started drinking it... i have 2 pills left. My concern is that now i dont know if its going to go how it was suppose to be in the beggining, since i waited to long....Because my gyno said in the 3rd day of my cycle, i was to go in and have some blood work done... and on the 12 day, thats when i have to get HSG done....so i think that i screwd this one month up hu? If any of you Cysters have anything similar happen or know about this, i would really appreaciate your help!!!

And Baby Dust to you all!!!
