Hi,

I'm New here. My name is aparna, 27, living in bristol,UK. I jsut searched this site on google and found out this site. This site is really good. I have PCOS....when i first came to this country in July'01 after just being married in march'01 that time i didnt get my periods. I didnt had periods for about 7 months. I went to GP here and he said it must be because of hormones and so he did a blood test and it came normal.

But then i insisted on have an internal ultrasound which the nurse did and she wasn't really ready to tell me whether or not there is any problem? the results came and i was diagonsed as PCOS. The doctor said it was very difficult for me to become mother. My whole life was shattered by hearing that. I couldn't stop crying and told my dh to ge married to another woman.But he denied and said that we will get thru this.

Iwent back to india after a year, but in the mean time i was on a diet which contained limited carbohydrates, no fizzy drinks, no sugar . My periods returned. i was haapy. I went to my GYNE in india she told me that u can become a mom after taking those pills. We tried while i was taking those pills but all was in vain. As, soon as i came off the pills i concieved and become pregnant. Pregnancy was quite safe only worrying was that the baby shouldnt be big. I gave birth to a baby girl on 13th Jan 2004. She is healthy and now 13 month old.

My only concern is that after stopping breastfeeding i am still waiting for my periods to come back. Does anyone has this kind of thing after pregnancy? if yes, then what did they do? and what should i do if noone has like this kind of suitation. I am just concerened. The dr. here says that i have to wait till my periods comes back. But i have stopped her breastfeeding before christmas. I just want it back soon. Can anyone advice me what should i do next? waiting for reply.

Hello Aparna, I don't have any answers for you as I am in the same position really. I have had one period since stopping breast feeding in September and no sign of another. I am waiting to see a fertility specialist now. I would suggest you go back to see your doctor again if you have no period soon. Hope you have success soon. Caroline

Hi Caroline,

I was amazing that when i went to see the doctor on 22nd...i was actually late for the appointment. I ran so fast that i n 2 mins i reached there..I think that surely kicked off my periods...and in evening i saw some blood...on my panties...

and i was happy but worried that i didnt bleed like earlier. I asked my neighbour friend she is nurse here. So she said that it wil happen like that but not to worry,, may be i may get some period like spooting next week too...its the hormone playing....Or may be i may get to see period next week. I had lost hopes...and was worried but atleast i can see some hope now. I think my weight is also reducing because of that...i hope i get fit now...

Dont worry love, you will get it too.....Iam glad all that dirty blood is coming out....have faith in yourslef love and be positive. Thats what this thing has taught me. I dont mind have periods pain i am up for it. I just want my periods back....Anyway, i am glad u wrote me. I will surely keep in touch with you.

Aparna xxx.
