Thread: Hi, I'm new.

Hi All,

Been looking around the site for a few weeks and it has been helpful so I decided to register. I am new to the whole BB thing so please be patient as I figure all this out.

Most of all I am looking for support from other women with PCOS because I know no one else with this condition and sometimes it feels like no one understands you.

My husband and I are trying to conceive. I have been blessed with a five year old daughter, who was conceived with Clomid. The GYN I had when I conceived my daughter obviously did not know about PCOS and it was never brought up. I was diagnosed after I switched doctors a little over a year ago. I was not having periods and one day I had a horrible pain on my left side and after doing a sonogram he soon realized I had PCOS. He also did the lab work to confirm this. I currently do take Metformin and my only complainant is everything I eat runs right through me. It's a small sacrifice to the symptoms of PCOS and if it helps me ovulate again. I just started charting my BBT and so far nothing. I see the doctor next month and I am sure I will start Clomid soon.

I have a positive attitude about it all and believe everything is in Gods hands. This does not mean I am immune to the emotions of infertility.

Hi Angie,
I am new as well. I just got diagnosed just under a year ago. My husband I have been trying to concieve and did after I started using metformin but then lost the baby due to a tubal pregnancy. This was only 4 months ago and it has been a journey. We are currently trying and I just got clomid but have not started taking it yet. I was really hoping we would concieve without meds. It has been an emotional journey the Lord has taken us on and at times I feel like throwing in the towel. I will be praying for you!
