Hi everyone,
If you have a moment please read this and respond with any and all advice possible. I was diagnosed with PCOS last year.
After being consistently late and going to my doctor for almost 2 years every month thinking I was pregnant, I finally found a new doctor who realized something was wrong. This wasn't untill I hadn't had a period in over 4 months. I had tons of blood work and an internal ultra sound, and my doc told me about PCOS. Last year I only got my peroid 3 times, and I am not on the pill
I had stopped taking the pill a year ago as my spouse and I decided to try and get pregnant. I realize that I am young(23), but I am in a stable relationship with a career and this is what we want. My doctor told me that they wouldn't help me untill I had tried to get pregnant for 2 years, and that SHE thought I was too young. Does this sound a little strange? I have decided to find a new doctor, but that seems like a lot of heartache, I just want some answers instead of judgements.
I haven't had a cycle in over 6 months and I don't know what to say to my new doctor. Do I just demand that they help? Also this has totally put my man off, he doesn't understand why I am changing and can't stop. I have put on 40 lbs in the last year and don't know how to get it off. I am NOT lazy and I eat well. I can't stop my body from changing and it is frightening.

I understand pcos is not fun. I am there. But with pcos there are other things to watch, weight gain could be to do with the thyroid as I just found out. If your not happy with the doctor your seeing get a second oppinion.

I agree. Doctor's should be there to help with what you want, not with what they think is necessarily right. And I completely understand about weight. I'm a vegetarian so have a hard time cutting out things that aren't necessarily good for me. Best of luck!

I would definitely find another doctor.
Your doctor shouldn't tell you that you're too young to have a child.

you do need to see another dr someone that knows something of our life changing conditions and that can help you. Its look like this is your fault.

I agree! You need to look into getting another doctor. The doctor should not tell you that you are too young to have a child.

Wow!! For sure I would go to another doctor...I am 27 and over two years ago I went to my family doctor telling them I thought I was having issues with ovulating and my DH and I were wanting to start a family. I was brushed off, now that I have a diagnosis I am so mad at myself for not going to another doctor. It could have prevented over 2 years of heart break. You know yourself better than anyone what you need to do, stick to what your gut tells you!
