Unhappy Hi all, new to this

Hi everyone, have just been to the doctor yesterday,and he has pretty much stated I have PCOS, I just have to wait for the hospital appointment for the scan to confrim.

Myself and my DH have been TTC for almost a year now without success, and are disappointed to find that PCOS is most likely the reason behind that.

So I guess that's it, just wanted to introduce myself, and say hi to everyone!

Hello there and welcome to SC!
PCOS is not an"all is lost" diagnosis when it comes to having children.
Many women here are Mommies....myself included.
I was TTC for over 14 years when I found out about a medication called Metformin and I was pregnant within 2 months of taking it!
You may want to ask your doctor if it would be right for you.
There is hope!
Good Luck!

Welcome cyster!

I felt the same way you do when I was diagnosed, I felt that I'd never be able to conceive again. But I too took met, and it worked wonders for me. Helped my cycles regulate, helped me lose weight, and helped me get pregnant.

I hope your appointment goes well. We're here if you need to talk.

Hugs and babydust
Jenny

Welcome (both to Silver and czara)! I was dx'd with pcos in May of '05 when my dh and I first started ttc. It can be pretty overwhelming to get that dx, but don't think that you won't ever conceive because of it. GL to both of you!!

Welcome Silverfrost. I think you will find comfort here - I know I did. Everyone here is so compassionate and willing to share their stories.

You should take some time to read through the TTC forum to gain info to talk to your doctor about.

Good luck, and welcome!!!!!!

Thank you guys for making me feel welcomed
Just a little update... I went to the doctor las thursday and for sure I do have PCOS. He put me on metformin he started me on 500 mg and going to progress up to 1500mg. We will give it a try for 3 months and if still needed after the 3 months he will put me on clomid. So this is a good start!
