This has been the worst summer of my life. I wrecked my car, found out I have some hearing loss, and in the middle of all that was diagnosed with PCOS. I haven't killed anyone. Yet.
Apparently, I have had this for years and years, but because I was on birth control, never knew it. When the migraines from the hormones got bad, I stopped the pill. Guess what? All these new problems started.
My husband has been somewhat sympatheric, although his first reaction was,"And this affects me how?" I told him if he wants children, it affects him a lot. I just turned 37 last week. So not only do I have PCOS, my age is also working against me.
I also just found out that my younger cousin is pregnant. I'd really like to be happy for her, but I can't. I don't want to hear,"So when are you having kids?" It really hit me hard the other day when I heard myself say out loud for the first time that I might not be able to.
I just get mean and a little out of sorts and feel like nobody really gets it.
O.K. I done venting now. Thanks for listening.
I TTC for 3 years (and I realize that I am only 25, but I have PCOS too!) and we did fertility drugs and got pregnant after the 3rd round. My sister had a baby when she was your age....and she had tons of trouble getting pg. Don't give up hope! Another story is my coworker! She has endometriosis and it took a long time to get pregnant, but she has a happy healthy 5 year old daughter! She did IVF twice and got pregnant the second time! She was 42 years old when her daughter was born. The best thing about your situation is at least you know that you have PCOS. There are MANY things you can do!!!!
Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't realize how importaant having kids was to me until me niece and nephew were born. I always wanted kids but thought I had plenty of time.
My DH and I are having major problems and he doesn't even want to talk about kids. He keeps telling me that if it's that important to me then I should leave him and find some else to have kids with. Isn't that wonderful?
I don't think he fully understands how many things PCOS effects. I'm moody, cranky, tired, angry, sad, mean, etc.all at the same time. One minute I love him more than anything and the next minute he's breathing to loud and I would be perfectly happy if he left.
The metformin has been fabulous. I'm afraid to leave the house. It seems that I spend half of my time in the bathroom. I really getting tired of feling bad.
O.K. Enough ranting. I'm done now.
