I am glad I found this group. I am another newbie. I have been to four different doctors until I found my current one who is actually listening to me. I haven't even met her yet, (my 1st appt with her is on March 25th) but she has looked at all of my blood tests and ultrasound results from the last doctor. She said he overlooked some issues and believes that I really do have PCOS. I am glad I have found her, but also depressed. It is just so much to deal with. I am so upset about my weight, my looks, and infertility. I used to weigh 140 and now I weigh 225. I just can't lose it.
My husband and I are trying to concieve our second child. We have a beautiful little girl who is almost three. The new doc told me I must have been on a "surge" and was lucky to have concieved her easily. We have been trying for almost a year now.
My periods are becoming non existant.
And, it seems pregnant women are popping up all around me lately which upsets me more. Not to mention the fact that everyone has to ask, "so when are you going to have another one?"
I just sit and cry alot because I feel like such a failure. I just feel so ugly right now (weight gain, excess hair, acne) I can't even stand to look at myself. I don't want to have sex with my husband unless it is dark because I don't want him looking at me AT ALL! I am "burn out" all the time and don't have the energy to work out let alone play with my daughter.
I just can't wait until the 25th so I have someone to talk to face to face who is willing to listen to me and help me.
I am glad I found this group so that I can interact with others who are going throught the same ordeal.
I just want to be my old self again, not this miserable person I have become.
I just wanted to give you huge virtual hugs! I have only just found this group, and though it is still scary and depressing to know that I may not be able to give my honey a child, it is nice to be able to read posts on here and know that I am not alone.
My name is Laura, and we are planning to start ttc in June. He wanted to be 100% ready, and doesn't realize that it will probably take years. I have tried to explain, but he thinks, well, you had a baby once before, it will happen again.

Hey there sugar plum, (that's what my mom calls me when I'm upset)
I am in your boat, or at least next to it. LOL. Seriously though, my whole life I thought that I was a freak, a monster. I told doctors about hair growth on my arms, my neck, my chin and breasts. Now it's tummy and toes too! I have dark patches on my underarms, thighs and neck. I have weird wrinkles on my neck and skin tags on my neck, underarms and face. Oops, forgot I have a mustache as well. Fun yeah??? Everyone I know is popping out little ones (yay for them, boo for my heart of hearts)
All dr's wanted to do was put me on BC for most of my life and I didn't want to be on BC at all. I met a great guy at 19 and we have not used contraception for 5 years (I'm 25 now) At first after about a year together we forgot to use it a couple of times, but I never had my period and I mean NEVER, so I figured I wasn't worried about it and we were engaged so we would have welcomed a baby. Then we started TTC about two years ago, focusing on dates and times and temps. No luck. About eight months ago my mom talked to her Dr about my problems as I don't have insurance. He sent me a questionnaire and I filled it out. He got back to me and let me know he was pretty sure I had PCOS and told me to look into it. I started saving money and reading about PCOS. I found a diet plan restrictive in sugars and simple carbs and I found some other lifestyle changes I needed to make. I took it upon my self to make a change and it's worked nicely so far. I worked extra hours to save to go see a Dr., informed my husband and family and friends about what I was going to do and going through, started eating right and so far I've lost 60lbs, the darkness around my neck and legs and arms has subsided, no new skin tabs, energy has increased and I've had three periods all in six months. I met with the Dr on Monday and he gave me an official diagnosis and said I'm doing so well that he wanted to just try me on 500mg of Met a day and see how it works. So far no ugly side effects. There is light at the end of the crap tunnel so keep your head up.

Some days are just really tough! I'm sorry that you feel so alone! This is a great group for getting answers to your questions and support.
I'm happy for you that you've been blessed with a child, and maybe knowing what's wrong will help you get treatment for another one. I understand the struggles!
What's great is that you have a plan and hopefully this doctor will help you. I've been waiting since the end of January for an appointment in April, so I get the waiting game too.
new here and really depressed about this
