I'm just wondering if anyone would like to do introductions in here... Some people have introduced themselves in other threads, but I've lost track and it would be nice to have it all in one place, I think.

My name is Joey. I can't figure out how to insert a picture into this post, but here I am: www.soulcysters.net/member.php?u=39720. I'm 28 and am a lawyer in Chicago. I have a partner of 5 1/2 yrs, an extremely cute doberman and two cats. Dp and I are getting married sometime before Thanksgiving (the timing is a long story) and planning to start TTC in June. I've got the baby bug big time. I've already bought several this-is-how-big-your-baby-is-this-month type books and I can't wait to get started. It will be the first grandchild on both sides.

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 4 years ago, although I've had symptoms since puberty. I complained about the symptoms to at least 6 doctors over the years who dismissed them as normal until a nurse practitioner finally diagnosed me (proof that nurses are often smarter than doctors). I didn't take it very seriously until a couple of months ago when I started seriously thinking of getting pg.

Thumbs up

Joey what a great idea for the rainbow cysters!!

I am 29 years old and living in Henderson, CO (north of Denver). I work as a drug and alcohol counselor and love it. I was born and raised in Wyoming. Moved to Denver the same year as diagnosed with POCS so that was a huge year for me.

I saw a Dr. right out of her residence. She took one look at me and told she has a feeling I had this thing called PCOS. Well after a few test sure enough that was what is was. It was a really bumpy ride at 1st learning all the stuff that can go with this. I found a great LNP that knew tons about PCOS so for the last 5 years things have been going great.

I meant my dp a year ago today J She is nothing but understanding about this PCOS and has learned things from soulcysters and by asking me. We have 3 cats and a dog. We are not sure about kids yet. She is 12 years older then me and is past having kids and with me it would be a hard thing to me to TTC due to other health issues. We are not leaving out the adoption possibility have talked about it but it on hold for a while.
I have a picture in my profile and like Joey I don’t remember how to post it here. http://www.soulcysters.net/member.php?u=725

I know what you mean, Im sure I've done this somewhere else before!

I'm Leila, from Bristol UK, though am hoping to move v soon further south. have een with my girlfiriend about 10months, though it's been a long time coming and feels like it's been much longer.

Was diagnosed at 13, but not really engaging in treatment at the moment as felt I needed a break from it all. Looking to start back on my metformin soon, am hopin gfor miracle weight and excess hair loss, but feel those may be unreal expecations!

Feel like I should show my face on here more often, so here's hoping!

Leila xx

I thought we had one of these threads here, guess not!!

Well I am Erika. I'm 19 and I've been with A for a year and 2 months. I've always had the baby bug and we will be TTC in hopefully a year. (Maybe a little more...there are a few factors here!) We currently live in a two bedroom apartment with our two 'children' , Grace and Nacho. And we are from Alabama...

Hi to all!!!!!! My name is Amanda and I'm bi. I really need to change my screen name but havent figured out how to do that yet. I'm actually going thru a nasty divorce right now. He cheated on me so now I think men r evil and I'd rather find me a girl! the only time I was truely happy in a relationship was when I was with my girl, Ginger. But were still best friends! Anywho, I'm just rambling..... So u should check me out on myspace sometime! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=94562629 I would love to add some peeps that I can relate to!

I guess I was diagnosed like 3 years ago. Not currently on meds for PCOS though. Too much junk goin on with my thyroid to even consider PCOS. Look me up some time!

Amanda

Hi ladies,

I'm Mel (Melanie) from Ottawa, ON - Canada. I'm 28 - was diagnosed at the age of 13. I've been with my girl for 5 months (today actually lol) but we first met back in 1999. I work in advertising - in aviation actually but looking for a change of career. I've been through quite a bit but finally I think my doctor and i have found the perfect med combo to keep this PCOS under control. Only thing left to work on right now aside from the weight loss in progress are the mood swings but the rest is good! hurray! haha

Anyway, nice to meet you all :-) I haven't posted here in some time so I am hoping to back into it and see how everyone's doing.

Take care!

Hi I'm Kate I live in Idaho where I am going to school to become a Sign Language interpreter. I was diagnosed four months ago. The doc tried to put me on metformin but bled so heavily no BC could stop it. I recently had an IUD inserted so I can take metformin in the future. I have been partnered for three years. We have one fur baby, a cat, named lou.
