Hi..
Well, I'm new here and i came across the site through endless research into PCOS. Myself and my husband have been trying for a baby for four years and nothing was happening, So off i trotted to the doctors to see what was wrong.
Hundreds of bloodtests got sent off and came back abnormal levels of hormones. Periods became more scattered and have gradually stopped completely, I haven't had one since September 08.
We were sent to a fertility clinic at our local hospital where an internal scan was done and 15 - 20 cysts were found on both ovaries. Sent back to the GP with results, more bloods done and of course it was announced I was infertile.
My entire world pretty much collapsed on that day (November 2nd 2007) and I've been terrified ever since.
I currently get lumps and boils on my inner thighs, Infected spots on my breasts, No periods, Acne on my upper arms and so much excess body hair I'm beginning to feel like the missing link. I'm also overweight. I was 111kg at my last weigh in (yesterday) at the GP where he finally caved in and gave me Oxytetracycline 250mg tablets to help with my spots.
He's refusing me Metformin until i lose weight but i simply can't do it. I've been trying for years and i just can't lose it. I can't go to weight watchers because i can't stand infront of real people and be weighed, I was in a violent relationship before i met my husband and my self confidence was completely destroyed. Now i can't even go to the local shop without having anxiety attacks and blackouts.
So basically i'm in a bit of a mess.. Hoping some of you can possibly help, if not, it would be nice to just have someone say 'I understand'
I feel like a complete outcast to society.
But anyway, I'm Vivica, I suffer from PCOS, Anxiety attacks, Bi polar dissorder and depression and as mentioned before, I'm new here.
Thanks for reading
