Hi Rainbowed SoulCysters! :)

I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm 25 years old, lesbian, and I've been with my female partner for almost 11 years.

My PCOS began very early in life though I wasn't diagnosed until 2005, and now we think that my partner has it too. We are both committed to getting healthy, eating right, and exercising, and getting our PCOS under control without drugs.

For the record, I think not too many people are posting in this section because there's no reason to shove all our posts into the "rainbow" category when they belong in the other categories. This is a great place to introduce yourself and get to know each other, but beyond that we should be out there on the board where we belong, showing our pride!

Much love to you all, wishing you health, happiness, and success!

Welcome, Kay! Hoping your GF doesn't have it too, but at least it would give you someone that REALLY understands what you are dealing with. People w/o PCOS really just don't get it sometimes. They tend to think it is all in your ovaries or your head!

And you are right about posting elsewhere. Except for the TTC part being a little different, we are all dealing with the same things.

Hi gals. Its nice to find people who wont judge me. For the gals that dont know me I have Endo. Possibe PCOS. I have been told yes and no so looking for another doc out here who can give me straight answers. Anyhow, I have been trying to conceive since 2001. Late 2001 I had a miscarrage and since then I have not been able to get pregnant. I had a friend who was my sperm donor until about a year ago. I am a bi woman. Right now I am with a man and we are not trying to get pregnant but we are not preventing. I am testing in a few days is AF does come to be on the safe side as my ovulation is the opposite of what it normally is. I'm sure I am not pregnant.

In the past when I was trying to get pregnant I planned on doing everything on my own. I work at a job where I make enough money to where I can support a child on my own.

So I have a question for you gals. This comes in my mind so much and I know how it sounds. I want a child so bad. Everyone always tells me that it will happen and to not push it. I love the guy I'm with but his chances of having kids are small and I dont think it wil happen. Plus he is not ready for marriage or anything serious. We have talked about the future a little and both agree that we are not yet ready to be serious but he has said he would love have a baby and then sometime he says no but I really want to have a child. Granted since it didnt happen in the past I know it would take work but here is the thing. Me and him are not serious at the moment. I have thought so many times about getting another sperm donor and trying to get pregnant again but of course that would be the end of me and him. I wouldnt get pregnant and lie to him and say its his as some people have mentioned to me because that would kill him as would me if someone did that to me. And thats just downright wrong. So I am torn. He would be an awesome dad and take care of me and a child 100% but he doesnt want to actually "try", rather if it happens by mistake he would be happy. I dont really get that but that is how it seems to be. Aahh!! Its driving me nuts and I cannot get it out of my head. Can anyone help in any way with advice or anything?? Its really weighing on me.
