Newly diagnosed

COLOR=deeppink]Hello. I was diagnosed yesterday with PCOS. The doctor recommended that if my husband and I were interested in having children, that we start now. We want to wait 8 months before trying because we will be moving back to Ohio from Georgia and that would mean finding all new doctors half way through the pregnancy. I was wondering if anyone had any advice. We sure could use it right now. I'm very scared and don't know what to think or how to act and everyone just keeps asking if I'm okay - and I don't know if I'm okay or not. Help! Please![/color]

... would be to start reading up on PCOS. Start with the Newbies Start Here section, if you haven't seen it already. By finding out more about what you're dealing with you'll be
a) less scared
b) more knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with doctors and ask for the treatment you feel you need

What tests have been run to confirm your diagnosis? What treatment did your doctor suggest?

PCOS is not fun, but it's also not the end of the world. I was pretty devastated when I first found out I had it, but as I came to learn more and more about it and what I could do to help myself it got better. Best of all, you have thousands of cysters all over the world who are always here for you!
