New to board Hi, I'm newly diagnosed, as of yesterday.
A little about my history: As a high school student I apparently didnt get af more than 4 times a year. I went on bcp's in college. In Aug 08 dh and I decided to ttc our first. After getting off the pill I didnt get af for 3 months. Went into the dr and she prescribed provera, which did the trick. Started temping and using cbefm. Temps were all over the place and no O in sight. CBEFM kept reading Highs all month long. Knew something was up. I had a suspicion I had pcos and asked my gyn to run an u/s. Turns out I have at least 8 or more follicles in each ovary. My hormone b/w came back normal. I am thin and always have been....5ft and 90lbs.
DH is deploying soon so we are on hold ttc right now until Dec. I figure I'll learn as much as I can while he's gone. Dr wants to do 3 rounds of Clomid once he's back and then send me to a fertility specialist if that doesnt work.
I'm nervous and anxious and depressed all at the same time. I know there is nothing I can do right now, but I'm still trying to figure all of this out.
Question for you all: What symptoms of pcos do you all have? I seem to only have multiple follicles in a "string of pearls", no O or af on my own. I also have some acne, but not sure it's related or not. Diabetes runs in the family on both sides, but I'm pretty sure I dotn have it, but need to be tested anyway.
I've been posting to ivillage ttcyfc, but I'd also like a place specifically where there are people who are thin and have pcos like me. |
