I have been trying to get pregnant for quite a while now and discovered after stopping my BC pills last year that I do not have periods. I had this when i was younger and started the BC pills to regulate myself as a solution. After talking to my OBGYN she has told me I may need to go on Clomid to help me conceive.
Well after having a regular visit with my General Practitioner for a yearly check up I just mentioned it to her in passing since she knew my husband and I were trying to conceive. After talking to her a little she mentioned I could have PCOS. She told me to talk to my OBGYN about it since I am already working with her but I am kind of disturbed that my OBGYN wants to just put me on Clomid instead of telling me this is a possible diagnosis.
Any way...after reading all the things about PCOS...it sounds like I could have this besides the weight gain and the excessive hair growth.
Has anyone ever been diagnosed with this or does any one have any success stories of pregnancies? I am just really frustrated because I want to just start having my period so I can have a chance of conceiving.
Thanks! |
I have cystic ovaries and had no problem getting pregnant. My daughter had a problem with the second pregnancy and it took a while for her to conceive.
She had all kinds of tests done, etc. I don't remember if she took anything.
She did get pregnant, gave birth to Brandon Jacob, and nursed him. She thought nursing would prevent pregnancy again....six weeks after Brandon was born, little Kassidy was conceived. She had 2 children within a year -
commonly known as "Irish twins."
So, you never now when your body is ready. If you take the meds, will the effects last after you stop? If not, it's not so terrible.
