I've been married 3 1/2 years to my wonderful husband and in that entire time, we haven't used any birth control. Because it wasn't important to get pregnant for the longest time, I never let it bother me too much that it wasn't happening. When I wouldn't have a period, I ignored it because I'd always been irregular (even if it was getting worse). When nasty hairs started to pop up on my chin, I plucked them and pretended they didn't exist. But when I finally hit the point where I WANTED to have a baby and it wouldn't happen, I knew I had to see an obgyn. About 3 weeks ago my doctor put me on metformin and prometrium to get my period started so they could run a few tests, but its been 10 days since I finished the prometrium and it still hasn't started yet.
The thing is I feel like I'm in denial half the time and depressed the other half. Its so hard for me to accept that this condition may mean I won't get to be a momma. Its like if I just pretend everything's okay (like I've been doing) then everything WILL be okay. Even as a little girl, I just KNEW the one thing I was meant to do in this world was to be a mom. Its impossible to accept that what I thought I knew was wrong.
Then the impatient side of me kicks in. I know others who have had the same problem and went on clomid and got pregnant. Its not even like I've started the real "treatment" yet. But I start to get depressed thinking about the reality of 3 1/2 years of no bc and not getting pregnant. That's terrifying.
Anyways, that's pretty much all I wanted to say. Just a quick hello and introduction of where I am in this process.
I was in the same boat as you not that long ago. It always took me 5-10 days after taking prometrium to start. With the glucophage, though, I started having regular periods. Of course, this month I didn't have a period. My Obgyn thinks it could be stress from hurricanes. I hope so. We're supposed to start clomid next month and I really wanted 6 months of periods under my belt. I have a feeling they'll make me start with prometrium and (cross everything) they'll finally start us on clomid. Just hang in there. My sister, sister-in-law, and a co-worker all had PCOS at different levels with different symptoms and they all have families. My sister has 4 kids!! I feel like you - being a momma means everything to me. I feel like we'd be complete with a few little ones...
Good luck.
Hi Duchess! I totally understand where you're coming from! I've always known i was born to be a mother, and now I've suffered thru 9 months of no ovulation. I try to stay up beat, but its hard to think that things may not work out like i want them to. Sending baby dust your way!
I know how you feel!! I am not actively trying to conceive; however, it has been very hard dealing with my condition since my sister just had a baby girl and my parents are looking to me for the next grandchild.
Stick to your diet, meds, and stay active and this will defff help!!!!! Every little bit of percent helps. I know it's easy to blow it off & pretend like everything's fine. It's not though, we have to stay strong and positive and blast this thing back to where it came from!!
