I am new here and am looking forward to talking to other women with the same problem. I do not know anyone else with PCOS; no one in my family has it except me. Though i do not have any sisters one brother who of course has 6 children. My husband does not happen to be the best listener (he has ADD).
I started having problems when I was 22-years-old with sudden weight gain. I gain weight so fast my mom thought I was pregnant. When I went to the doctor he told me to quit drinking soda. Then I started skipping periods (can't tell you how many preg. tests I went through), I have always been regular. When I went to the doctor he told me it could be due to stress.
I knew there was something wrong with me, so I went to a new Dr. He diagnosed me with depression. Which I was because of the weight gain and now also facial hair. He put me on medication for depression, which did help; I just didn't feel anything.
When I got engaged I went to Weight Watchers to try and lose some of the extra weight. I lost about 5 lbs. in 4 months. Since that was obviously not working I quit. After I got married and was still missing periods more frequently, my mom gave me a book called The Sugar Solution. In it there was a chapt. on PCOS; when I read the symptoms I thought "this book is talking about me." My cousin recommended an ob/gyn to me. When I went to see him I let him run blood tests and ultrasounds, waiting to see if he would diagnosis me with what I already thought I had and he did. He put me on metformin and Clomid. I had to ask what each of these medications were for. I got pregnant on the first try with Clomid, but miscarried after a month.
After the miscarriage I was a lot worse with mood swings and my husband and I almost got divorced. We work things out thankfully. But unfortunately we have had another miscarriage. It has been a year since the last miscarriage and we would like to try again, but I am too scared to go through another loss.
I've been trying to find other ways to treat symptoms of pcos but other than the metformin have had no luck.
hey hon! im so sorry about ur angel babies! may the next one stick - ur best bet is to see what your gyn says about it! also i beleieve the women many women miscarry wit pcos is becase the have low progest.....please correct me if im wrong so that is something to take in to consideration xx im tired and brain not working lkol xx
