I was diagnosed with PCOS on Jan 11th. I had never heard of it before until other women talked about it on BabyCenter.com. I wondered if I had it and was referred to an RE clinic by my doctor (which is a miracle because she usually waits for 1 year of ttc before doing that and I had only been ttc for 4 mos). Well, after a couple of ultrasounds and some blood work, he confirmed that I have PCOS. I was so shocked to see that bundle of cysts on my ovaries. I had had many u/s done before and I had never noticed them. He said that I have high levels of testosterone insulin resistance. He prescribed Metformin and Clomid. since being on Metformin I have lost 12 pounds. That is great because I am considered overweight. Yeah, it sucks when you go home for Christmas and you mom says "Wow, you have gotten big!" Thanks mom! Today I am on Round 1 Day 4 of Clomid. I really hope it works. I am thankful to have a diagnosis of a my problem. Everyone said I would be pg within 3 months of my July 2005 miscarriage and I felt broken when it didn't happen. It has now been over 6 months and I don't feel helpless anymore. It sucks that I have to be on meds anytime I want to get pg but at least I won't spend years wondering why I haven't. This diagnosis has saved me from much disappointment. Sure, I am upset at genetics for dealing me this rotten card, but it could have been so much worse. I am glad to join a group of women that understand where I am coming from.
