Hi everyone,
I have been reading these boards for a while but have not posted until now because I am kinda shy but I'm feeling so alone and frustrated I really needed a place to turn. So thank goodness for the amazing boards that are the Soul Cysters.
I was diagnosed with PCOs in 2004 and have worked hard to lose weight (lost 35 pounds on weightwatchers; am at a healthy weight now). When I lost the weight the symptoms that were starting to freak me out, like hair loss, notably, went away, thank goodness.
Essentially I follow a really careful diet, exercise a lot, do acupuncture, eat wheat- and dairy-free and take lots of herbs and vitamins; was on metformin but went off of it because after 8 months it did nothing for me except make me feel sick and really hungry all the time...but my biggest problem is that I don't ovulate and haven't had a period in about one year and eight months. It is really getting me down; no matter what I do seems to work.
It doesn't help that everybody around me seems to be pregnant--my sister, two sisters-in-law, friends, work colleagues--of course I'm THRILLED for them but it makes me feel so sad to feel so empty inside. I'm just starting to feel pretty depressed about it all. I don't know what else to try.
Anyway, I thought it was time to start sharing experiences with others in the same boat...so here I am! A brand-new Soul Cyster. I can't wait to start chatting with you all.
