I wondered why no matter what, I would gain weight, I was always healthy and athletic as a child and teenager, later in life becoming plain, fat! It's totally depressing. And I never knew where it was coming from.
When I was a child, my grandfather told me if I ate my meat I would get hair on my chest like him. Not know anything other than I loved my him and wanted to be just like him, I gobbled the meat down. Now I feel like a hairy monster w/ hair on my chest and everywhere else. Between the weight and hairiness I feel like I'm less of a woman. I don't feel comfortable wearing nice and cute clothes, I can't show my chest at all. T-shirts and jeans it is.
Okay, now that my emotions are out of the way I can introduce myself. I am 24 and DH is 25. We got married in Feb. 2007, I came off the nuva ring in April, and we started TTC in June. I've had some mega screwed up cycles since then. I went to the OBGYN recently and had a pap test then a pelvic u/s. The results are PCOS. I am new to all this. It seems a little overwelming right now. I know a little about it, but I'm at a point where I don't even know the questions I have or maybe I don't know how to ask them. I am an active poster on TTC boards on webmd, so if I use a different abbrviation than what you ladies are familiar w/ just ask me, they are pretty much the same though. My dr. wants to wait till April and if I'm not KU's then she wants to an HSG. If my tubes are blocked she wants to do surgery to clear them. If they are not blocked, she will put me on meds. probably clomid is what she said. (I really don't want to jump on clomid though). BTW, I have high blood pressure, could be the weight though, but that could be from the PCOS.
Questions: Could Metformin help me w/ symptoms and stuff of PCOS between now and April? Do you think my dr. would be willing to perscribe Metformin for me? I really hate being this fat, almost 250. I don't eat a lot, and I'm just sick of, so if would help me be healthier I'm wanting to try it.
How possible is it for a cyster to get KU'd w/out medications like clomid? Am I pretty much fighting a losing battle w/ not wanting to jump on the clomid? Is there ANYTHING I can do about all this hair on my chest, it's crazy, I feel like a monkey when I look down. Does PCOS make you more moody and have anger problems? I am very moody and can fly off the handle w/ DH at any given time for any reason. I hope it has something to do w/ PCOS.
What I'm doing know and: I temp and chart on fertility friend. My chart is
www.fertilityfriend.com/home/ssbean I Ovu pretty late in my cycle, but at least I'm O'ing right. My temps indicate Ovu, but I don't have much luck w/ OPK's, which is very frustrating. The OPK's never detect a LH surge. The test line starts to get dark, but never gets darker than the control line. It's so aggrivating. So, eventhough my temps indicate Ovu, does it mean I don't Ovu, when I don't get a LH surge? My LP is 11 days, which is kind of low. I'm going to start taking Vit. B6 next cycle since I hear that it may help w/ that. Durring my 2WW, my temps are generally very erratic, up and down, EOD. Also, I don't produce much CM, especially EWCM, so I use preseed around O time. With PCOS that gets somewhat stressful since you never really know when you will O. I also drink green tea closer to when I am supposed to O, this increases EWCM. I've tried checking my CP, but I'm no good, I'm fat, short arms, and short fingers, it doesn't wrk.
I'm glad I finally have an answer to my problems and that I've been reccomend to this site, I feel good about the possibilty of getting KU'd now. I understand, that I have posted a lot of stuff and a lot of questions. I don't really exspect every question to be answered, any question answered would be very appriciated. TIA.
