hey...im new here...kinda just bumped into the site while trying to research pcos....well anyways a little about me...i just turned 23....i was diagnosed with pcos a couple months ago....im still getting used to the idea that this is real....ive always had irregular periods but my doc always told me that i would grow out of it....so they put me on birth control to regulate it....which by the way never worked it only prolonged me finding out the actual problem...ive always been really skinny until i hit about 19....i went from being 4'11 at 100 lbs to now 4'10 155...thats a lot of weight for a little girl to be carrying....im so depressed now and really dont know what to do with myself...my dream was always just to be a mom...i never thought of doing anything else with my life....but to know that that might not happen hurts sooo bad....i just dont know what to do anymore...anyways now that thats all out in the open ill stop rambling on and on....all i have to say is this sucks...why cant i just be normal....anyone with advice or any insight on this since i am kinda still new to all this would greatly be appreciated...thank you for listening......
Hello and welcome to soulcysters! Your thoughts and concerns are oh so familiar to the many women of this forum!
It has been a great comfort to me to know that other women are going through/have gone through what I am going through, and I hope you find that comfort here as well. The women here are full of great advice and wonderful support!
Welcome! There's probably still a little part of me that's still in denial that I actually do have PCOS. I've charted my BBT and I see the temp shift. It looks like a normal cycle, just lasts about 2 or 3 weeks longer. But after blood tests (by gyno and endo), I have to accept that I actually do have it. DH and I both have large extended families (my dad is one of 11, his mom is one of 7) and my brother has had 3 kids (all unplanned) and he's only 26. Seems really unfair (and unanticipated prior to the dx) that we're struggling to have our first. I just started metformin a few days ago so we'll see if that helps at all. My endo seems to think it alone should do the trick. I hope so. Pregnancy can still happen, but you might just have to help it along. I still dream of being a mom (we have our names all picked out and I'm cleaning out the room that will one day hopefully be the nursery). I know it may not happen soon, but I have hope that it will happen at some point.

Welcome to sc! I'm pretty new myself and can still find myself devastated by pcos, it's definately an emotional time, but like everyone else said, it is nice to have people who are going through the same thing for support!

I was in the same boat you were. My periods were really irreguar and my gyno at the time put me on BCPs to regulate them. I decided to get off BCPs when I got married and that's when I knew for sure something was wrong. In all reality, the real issue was covered up for about 10 years. Its really frustrating, but its good to know what's wrong with you so the docs can help ease the symptoms. Best wishes to you!
