hi...
this is my second post. well after specialists and many drs visit and being diagnosed with PCOS. i started my period. now i am suppose to go on the patch (birth control) and start metaformin in 2 weeks. im scared to death. im already on high blood pressure pills, thyroid meds and zoloft. i feel like a walking drug store. right this second as i right this i have so bad cramps. im just frustrated and feel lousy. i only feel normal one week a month. unlike most with PCOS, i have regular periods with in between spotting. i just feel like this will never end and now im ON MORE MEDS...am i alone? its not even an issue about having a baby (im 36 and never had children) i just want to feel normal. and i don't want to feel like im the only one in this world feeling this way. my husband doesnt know what to think. he knows i dont feel good, but he just doesnt get it. i dont know where else to turn. im afraid, scared, overwhelmed with all this. i think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. its taking so long to see it though.

i guess i could go on forever and ever.
thanks for letitng me vent.

vicki,
We've all been there. With most of us, it's not getting AF, with you AF won't go away!

It WILL get better, I promise. As for DH, sometimes they just can't understand. Mine is great and all, but when I'm really feeling like I'm at the end of my rope, this is where I turn. Not because he doesn't love me or anything, it's just that here, all the women are just like me and I can ask questions and get answers that I understand. As for being a walking drug store, I totally feel you. I could open a pharmacy out of my bedroom. LOL. Hopefully, your doc know what he's doing. And at least by going on BCP's, AF will finally be normal for you.

PM me if you want to talk!
