So I am still waiting on the official confirmation of PCOS, but my doc said she is about 90% sure that I have it. She broke the news to me like she was telling me I have a cold, not PCOS. She was just so non-chalant about it. I am going to ask that she refer me to a specialist. She told me absolutely nothing about PCOS so everything I know is based on my internet research. As a newbie to the whole PCOS thing I think I'm going through what I can only assume everyone goes through. I am confused, angry, lonely, sad and I feel like I'm "damaged goods".
The only reason I went to the doctor in the first place was to talk with her about getting pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for a while and I was going to see if my doc had any suggestions. So this came as a bit of a blow to us. I feel like I don't fit in with all the other women my age who are having babies left and right. I am really ready to become a mother, and while I always had a fear in the back of my mind that it wouldn't happen, PCOS is not what I was expecting to hear when I went in for my appointment. I was in my own little happy oblivious world. No one else I know has even heard of it, and my husband doesn't really understand it and he doesn't see why it upsets me so much. So I am hoping to connect with some people on here who understand what I'm going through and hopefully help me feel just a little less alone through this whole thing.
I totally understand how u feel. It is hard to deal with this disease/syndrome but alot of doctors simply do not know much about pcos, but eventually we all find a doctor/dietitian/or whatever gets us through. Best of luck and try not to let pcos beat u x
hi.. i'm not sure where you're located.. but i recently watched an episode of Mystery Diagnosis on discovery health and the specialist who appeared on the show was Dr. Katherine Sherif.. she's located in philadelphia.. buuut she helped the woman suffering with PCOS overcome the side effects with medication.. and she was able to conceive
maybe you could contact her or simply you tube the episode and get a little more information regarding the doctor :]
Welcome RHL592 to SC. I am glad you found us. SC is a great site and has a wealth of info. You are not alone in being angry. I am still a bit pissed, and it has been over 8 years since I got my Dx. Keep your chin up. Be your own advocate. Do research. webmd.com has some good info, that you might be able to give your husband to read. That is what I did with my hubs and he read it and started asking questions.
