The emotional effects...

AngelMama0914 · 08-04-2006, 01:11 AM

Hey guys-

Just wanted to drop a line. Hope everyone is doing well. I myself was just OFFICALLY dx today of PCOS, not only that I am emotionally dealing with the lose of 3 pregnancies and a lot of emotional stuff. I finally took the step a couple of days ago to call and get some more help. I need something. At 23 this is a lot to sink it and absorb. So I have an appointment next Wed to go see the med doc and then the 23rd to see the therapist. So I am looking forward to that believe it or not. And I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now being able to put a name to the reason that I most likely lost 3 pregnancies is a HUGE sigh of relief for me. Not knowing is worse. Anyways, just wanted to say hello. Hope everyone has a great FRIDAY!!!

Heather, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sometimes having answers helps to clear our minds. Both the doctor's visit and the therapist visit should be very helpful.

Hi Heather
I'm glad you're feeling better about the steps you've taken. Not everyone understands the heartbreak that goes along with ttc, pcos and pg loss. I've found wonderful support on these boards, and I'm sure you will too. Best wishes to you.

Hey Ladies-

Thanks so much for the replies. You are all right! This is a great group and I am so very lucky I found you all. I know after I lost my last pregnancy it was just IT , the straw that broke the camels back. Now Pcos, plus I am also still struggling with the loss of my father almost 4 years ago very suddenly. Now I get word today that my grandmother whom never knew of my pregnancies (didnt want to tell her then lose the baby and have her be upset) who is 89 years old is in the hopsital. I dont know if I could take losing someone else right now. She is my last living grandparents and its almost like I can feel it in my heart that she will never hold my child. She helped raise me as my mother was a single parent....and it breaks my heart! So the emotional aspect of everything is getting me down, somehow I have to stay strong and get through this and this group is REALLY helping!! Thanks so much again!!

Heather,
I'm so sorry you (or any of us) have to be here but, I'm glad we've all found a place to give and receive support. I'm saddened by the news of your losses. Hopefully, you will find a solution to what is causing your losses.

Just know that we are all in this together and we are here whenever you need us.

Heather, I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm glad you found Soul Cysters. I wish I had found this place long before I did. I, too, have experienced multiple m/c. I knew a few people who had a single m/c and one friend who had 2. I never knew anyone who had been through as many as I have. I felt like there was nobody in the whole world who understood. Although I would never wish pregnancy/infant loss on anyone, there is comfort in sharing with others who understand. The ladies here are wonderful. I'm so glad you sought help, too.

Hey girls-

Thanks so much for the support. I have been keeping busy lately and forgot to check this website...so if you wrote to me and I just got back...im so sorry!! Anyways, Ive been in close touch with my OB over the past couple days in regards to medications and such. Im feeling a ton better and this Friday increase my dose to 1000mgs a day!! Im feeling very positive about this website and about the dx. I have also talked to a few women outside of this website whom also share the grief and pain of having m/c and PCOS and I have found its very VERY supportive!! I am so happy that I found this website and hopefully will someday help someone the way you guys have made me feel so wonderful!!

Thanks again!
