 Chiny Chin Chin
Hello everyone.
My name is Erika and I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago. I'd known for a few years prior, that something just wasn't right, my cycles were so inconsistent. However, my primary care physician refused to believe me, she kept saying I just needed to continue to try to conceive. This was even after I've been charting my cycles and symptoms for a year. I demanded a second opinion and sure enough, I was right. She later called and apologized, needless to say I switched doctors.
I've been married for 9 years to a wonderful supportive man who doesn't, pretends to, notice the hair on my chin, chest and shoulders. I have one daughter, whom we conceived on our first try of IUI. She was a twin, but I loss her twin about 8 weeks into the pregnancy.
Almost four years later I'm ready to TTC #2. I haven't done anything to treat the PCOS, however, the Nurse Practitioner at my GYN, said they'd like to start treating it but suggested we wait until after we're done having children. That got me worried, do I really have to wait until after we're done having children? So, I'm meeting with my GYN Monday to discuss some options. My DH isn't ready for baby #2 but I feel so much pressure to go for it now. I'm 34 and he's 39 and aside from the PCOS we have other infertility issues.
I'm so appreciative of this board. After a lot of research on here, I purchased some vitamins, lots of vitamins, and I'm ready to start tackling the PCOS.
Yesterday, while sitting at my daughter's tumbling class with the other moms, I found myself focusing on the other mom's chins as they were talking to me. At the same time, all I could think about was the sprouts of hair that had revealed themselves on my chin. Could they see them! Then I kept thinking that they were looking at them wondering what was wrong with me, how could I leave the house like that! I'm finding myself in this situation a lot. I sometimes look at other women chins thinking about how lucky they are that they don't have to worry about plucking hair off their chin. Or women that can wear shirts that have necklines that scoop low, when I say low I mean not up to their neck! I'm so tired of not being able to wear certain shirts because there's tiny bits of hair of on my chest.
Thank you for letting me introduce myself. I look forward to learning a lot more from you all!
Erika
