when i was 18 I was very depressed all the time and went to the doctors he said i had a high level of testosterone and that was it... i didnt think anything else of it.
Then when i was 23 i moved back to the UK and went to the doctors after having a coulple of relationships where to be honest i was surprised i hadnt fell pregnant... Knowing these guys had got thier new girls pregnant I knew it wasnt them.
I had several tests ultra sounds, some pipe stuck into my groin and put through my veins to take blood from around my ovaries and my adrenal gland. I have had CAt scans and well every bloody test you can think of... My endrocronolgist (sorry spelling is bad) said i didnt have PCOS as the ultra sound showed nothing. They said i have a abnormal amount of testosterone which they think is coming from the adrenal gland. I have struggled with my weight all my life and am now 25 and and have excessive body hair.. I was told i probably wouldnt conceive due to the amount of testosterone. I was then told that i had to see another specialist who said they wanted to do the tests all over again as they thought i had PCOS. I then had to move back to Spain for my job and never got a chance to go back for the further tests,.. I then found out in MaY i was pregnant and decided I didnt need to do anything about tests as I had what i wanted....
well In July i lost the baby after telling everyone i was pregnant being so over joyed.. i now blame myself for everything and constantly think about how far I would be gone and not sure how i will cope with the due date.
my boyfriend lives in the UK and wont be mo ving to be with me till May so have had to go through this pretty much on my own... and just dont know what to do or where to turn... im fed up of looking and feeling like a big fat man when all i want to be is a sexy woman...
sorry i just didnt know where else to turn as have no-one else to speak to
First off your in the right place! I'm sorry to hear you have had such a hard time getting a correct diagnosis! I also am sorry to hear about your loss. I to am going through what you are going through. I fell pregnant after being told the same thing "I would never conceive" and about eight weeks in or so I lost the baby due to unbalanced hormones. Get this tho around the time I lost the baby my fiances sister had gotten pregnant right around the same time I did, so I basically had to watch her go through everything knowing that I would have been finding out the sex of my child close to when she found out and so on...it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do! I never want to go through that again! I basically wanted to give up then and there...
However, it's a difficult problem to deal with but it's not impossible...and I have realized that we really do need to stay positive and know the things can get better if we want them to...instead of thinking about the negative and how we both lost our babies we need to think about how we at least got pregnant and with the right cocktail of medication we can carry to term and get the gift of a child. I know none of this is going to make the due date any easier to cope with but try your best to stay positive and know that it WILL happen.
I sent you a friend request...you can talk to me anytime as I'm always on here...
keep your head up and know you can get through this it just takes a little time to get used to things and a lot of hard work (which I know no one wants to hear!)
Have you tried Metformin!?

I'm right where you are hun. I was told that my testostrone was through the roof and that i was around 50 lbs overweight, and all i needed to do was loose the weight and all my problems would go away........down 40 lbs and having periods again but still have my beard! Nothing has changed yet, dont blame yourself for the things that happen in this life because we are only as good as our info. They can put you on a much meds as they want to but the Lord is in control! Keep your chin up and I will be praying for you!
(((hugs))) I am so sorry for your loss, try not to blame yourself, but it is hard. I lost my baby in October of last year and it is still painful. The due date was really hard on me. I am also sorry it took so long for you to get a diagnosis, it is very frustrating. I have been there. If you need someone to talk to, I am here!
You have definitely come to the right place. Many ladies here feel the same as you! I am sorry to hear of your loss. Do some research for yourself, and find a great doctor, and definitely stay here for support! Hang in there!

i just want to say thank you for your kind words.... i have been feeling so low and alone and thought no-one understood what i was going through... having read a few posts on here i realise that im not alone and with enough pushing to the doctors i can hopefully sort something out...
I have never been told exactly what is wrong with me and never had a diagnosis... im simply still being told more tests etc... my first consultant said he didnt kmow what was wrong with me as never dealt with my issue before and that it was probably genetic and asked if my parents were related... made me feel even more of a freak.. but having read the posts on this forum i realise im not a freak.
Thank you again and although i wont be online alot as going away for a couple of weeks I will defintly be an active user here as ur words and advice to other people have helped me so much already.
Im going to the doctors on 28th Oct for a check up after having the D&C in July and i think i may have found a doctor that is willing to help me and listen... Is there anything you can suggest that I have to ask or that i shouldnt leave without any answers? also one thing i have to ask is the reason so many of us have had miscarriages the PCOS? because when i first found out i was pregnant a doctor said it wouldnt affect the baby at all... I knew from the day i found out i was pregnant something was wrong and angry that the doctors lied to me..
