Hi, I'm new here! I haven't had a period since November, so my doctor did some bloodwork. My lh:fsh ratio was high, so I'm retesting in 2 weeks, but my doctor said it is indicative of pcos. I'm thin (5'2" and 116lbs) so I was glad to find this board! Some of the other info didn't really describe me. Any advice for a newbie?
I'm with you Chloe. I'm not quite as thin as yourself 5'3" and 125 pounds, but still, not overweight. I pretty much self-diagnosed myself with PCOS probably almost 8-9 years ago now. I never went around stating that's what I had, but I just knew it after doing some research. Aside from the weight issue, I have quite a few symptoms. I skip periods for months...up to 6 months at a time, then I have them and it's absolutely insane. The pain is incredible! I went to a OB/GYN in my hometown who blew it off saying that some people just miss periods like that and it's not that uncommon. She said I was fine. I've always been concerned about fertility since having babies has been a life-long dream (even above a career, which I've established). At that time the OB/GYN stated "well, there are lots of drugs out there to help women get pregnant now days. When you decide you're ready, you'll do fine" Can you believe a professional said that?? Needless to say that was the last time I saw her. Now I'm seeing a new OB/GYN and new physician, both whom are wonderful, since we've moved to a different town. After telling my OB/GYN my symptoms she was very willing to run tests, but still couldn't believe it just because I'm "not overweight" she kept saying. We did do testing and my testosterone is higher than it should be (I can't even remember all the lab results now). She also did a transvaginal ultrasounds to look at my ovaries, which she said look okay. I do have cysts if I recall right, but she said I have enough eggs for my age and it looks like I could carry a baby just fine.
At this point I go back to see her in about a month. We don't really have a reason for the appt...just to see how things are going I suppose? I'm tracking my cycles right now and since we've been married recently, am now TTC. She's spoke of putting me on Met, but I just don't like the idea of medications..at all. I just hate them. Im scared that if I start taking this and successfully conceive, I'd get what I wanted (a baby), but all the symptoms would return once I was off the med. I HATE the idea of being on meds for the rest of my life. I'm almost very angry. I'm not big. I take care of myself and this STILL happens to me. GRR.
Anyway, I'm new to this site as well...just curious what all is out there. It's kinda of hard to talk to my husband about this since I have symptoms he can't really relate to and it's obviously a "girl thing". Hopefully talking with everyone will help me learn more and maybe ease my mind.
New here and possible PCOS
