I was just diagnosed this week with PCOS.

I have religously gotten my annual exams, and in the last few years have expressed concern as to why I hadn't gotten pregnant. I was told not to worry, that Drs recommend you try for a year befor ethey get concerned. Ok, we did that. Then I was told, well try charting. Did that. Nothing. It took me bawling my eyes out in my FAMILY DR's officve for him to refer me to a RE to get the diagnosis.

WTF????

Why is it that I had to wait all this time??? Some of the symptoms I've had since I was a teenager (the excessive hair growth, the irregular periods), but just thought it was something that was part of me, part of who I was. Because, silly me, I thought that a trained professional would know that something was wrong and not pat me on the head and tell me not to worry.

So now, here I am, 29 years old, finally getting the diagnosis that I needed (for which I am grateful), but hoping and praying that this is going to help me on the road to getting what I want the most... a baby.

I'm sorry this is so long. Like I said I was diagnosed earlier this week, and I guees it finally "hit me" what's going on.

Thanks for letting me vent.

By all means VENT! There are so many women here that share your frustrations - like myself for example. I'm 36 yrs old, no children (of my own) and I knew there was a problem since I was 16 but no one would listen. It took me 20 yrs to get dx (dx'd Jan. 24, 2005) and at times I could just scream over all the time that has been wasted! We've now gotten a thumbs up from our doc to ttc - but due to my age I now feel that I am in a race with the clock.

What type of meds are you currently taking? Will you also be choosing to go on fertility? Please visit the TTC forums - the stories of hope and inspiration there are endless!

Welcome to SC!! Keep posting and see ya around the boards!
