Im a new member....PCOS support?

hoping4miracle · 08-14-2006, 01:44 AM

Hi everyone... I have been lurking on this site I stumbled upon for about 2 days, and decided to join.

I am a mom of 1 child, who is almost 9, and my angelbaby that would have been 10 next month. I never had any issues TTC, so in doing the "career thing" I didnt have kiddos or TTC for a lONG time(almost a decade)

I have been TTC with my husband now for 5 months. After 4 months of not succeeding, I found out I had PCOS. (Which explains a few weird symptoms I am having) and I wasnt Oing at all.

My Dr then did bloodwork, exams, and more bloodwork, and prescribed me 50mg Clomid- This is my first cycle, I am about 8DPO right now, and after a WONDERFUL very first +opk, my husband and I tried very hard this month. I guess you can say, I am in the 2WW, feeling pretty discouraged, and in need to chat with others that are in/have been in- my shoes, and can understand infertility, and its effects.

Needless to say, That DX devistated me. My Husband is a bit more optomistic, but I am frusterated. I used to belong to a parenting site, which was really supportive, but knew very little about infertility, so I was surrounded by TTCers that were just that- TTC, and then getting pregnant.

I had done a google search for "PCOS forums" and here I am.

I guess I am just tired of the canned "if you relax.... it will happen" or the "it will happen when its time"... I know that without medical intervention, a baby isnt going to "just" happen.

Im glad I lurked around. I feel that there is more "specialized" and very supportive threads here, for those dealing with PCOS, and the emotional and physical aspects of it.

anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, and let you all know where I am coming from.

If you got through this... congrats!

Im looking forward to not only getting support from those that are effected, but hoping to be of support as well.

Welcome! You will certainly find the support you need here. I am also new to the site and found the ladies here to be very helpful. Good luck with the Clomid this month!

Welcome to SC! You will find lots of support and understanding here.

I also conceived my first 2 kids without problems, that was before my PCOS hit full force. Then we tried for 2 years for our third. Finally 1 year before I got pg I was diagnosed w/ PCOS and was put on met. I conceived on 1500 mg daily. I also got tired of all the comments about our ttc again, especially, "you already have 2, you should be thankful for what you have". I was thankful for my children, but that didn't stop my intense longing for another!

Again, welcome and best wishes
Jenny

Welcome to SC!

I'm currently TTC#2 and just waiting to O so I can start the 2WW. There is usually a thread or two for 2WW'ers if you need some company : )
