hey gals!! I am Casie. I am 25, and was diagnosed with PCOS in feb of 05. I do have a 4 year old son. And to be honest..I feel am pretty lucky to have. (we tried for 4 months for him, no cycles nothin...it was a wonderful fluke..MANY Pregnacy tests..)

Last year we tried to have another child...which lead us to the diagnosis...my testosterone levels were WAY high. I had an ultra sound done on my ovaries. ANd thats how it all began

I did get a postive test in July of 05, but weather it was a true pregnancy or not..( had done 3 rounds of clomid) we will never no. My 9 week check up came and they couldnt find anything. It was sad. We at that point were on month #9 of TTC not knowing that it was that hard, when with our first, it wastn at all. (course the stress levels were completly differnt)
So in september, I got back on birth contrl. to relive some stress...i guess. and have now been off again since march this year.

I had 2 cycles...which surprised me!! My body actually did what it was suposed to do?? wow!! but, now am 2 months "late" and no, I am not preg. I tried that.

I have an appt on the 23rd of this month. To be examined...and start over...I am ever soo hoping for a 2007 baby!!

I have been apart of a few other PCOS groups..but found them not the right place for me. I am hoping to find some encouragement here..as I know there are others like me, and others that have it more difficult than I. And some who have been succesful in geting this bugger undercontrol.
HELP

Oh..forgot to mention....the big difference between this year and last year is 25 lbs. ok, nearly 30 but. hey

I got my butt in gear and lost abunch of weight. My friends thought I was crazy...luckily i have one who also is PCOS, so she understood. I wanted to get skinny..to get preggers...and yes to get big again...
ahh thats the luv of the game, right???

anyways. I hope to read alot about you all!!

thanks for havin me.
