Thread: I'm another thin cyster

First of all, I want to say how happy I am that I found this site. After getting off bcp in Aug 2004 and TTC #1, I found out that I do not have periods. I have done 3 rounds of Clomid.
1st 50 mg Ovulation
2nd 50 mg No ovulation
3rd 100 mg Ovulation
We then found out that my husband had poor morphology and after 2 SAs he went to a urologist. We were then referred to an RE and my first appt is Thursday Nov 17th!!! I'm so excited. My OBGYN suspicions PCOS, but I do not have a lot of the classic symptoms. I'm about 5'2" and weigh 112 lbs. .if anything Ihave had trouble keeping weight on in the past. I think being thin in today's society is looked at as being abnormal. .being thin with PCOS is even MORE abnormal. I do have mild acne and some unwanted hair in a few places. When I do gain weight, it is all in my abdomen. I do not know if I am IR. I've been temperature charting since May and that has really helped me feel like I understand my body a little better. I'm so frustrated and I hope I find some answers. I've been doing yoga and have started eating low carbs, but people look at me funny when I pass on certain foods. I'm not trying to lose weight. . I just want to ovulate!!! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. It's so nice to know that I am not alone. Any advice on what to expect at my first RE appt would be appreciated.

Hi! I did go to my RE appt today and I have to say that it has been a good day. I did get the official PCOS diagnosis (w/ anovulation, high LH levels, excess hair on abdomen and "string of pearl" cysts on my ovaries on ultrasound. My RE seems optimistic and was very personable and knowledgeable. I take Provera to have a period. He is putting me on Femara and I go in on cd 12 for another ultrasound. Then, I'll give myself a trigger shot and say a lot of prayers. He mentioned metformin, but we're going to try this first. I sure hope it works. I'm glad that he stated there are 2 groups of women with PCOS. Those who are overweight and those that are thin. I feel really good about actually having a formal diagnosis and moving forward. Does anyone have any success stories with Femara and trigger shot??
