Hi Angie! I am pretty new to this site too! I think you will find the support and information you obtain here will be very helpful. It is nice to talk to people going through similar things as you. I found you story interesting because it sounded alot like mine. I'm 27, we have been trying ttc for about 2yrs. I too have always had wacky periods with no rhyme or reason. I was diagnosised w/PCOS when I was 19. Back in March my regular OB put me on metformin (glucophage) to assist w/regulating insulin levels. Not because I have diabetes, but because folks like us w/PCOS have trouble regulating insulin, which in turn has an effect on our ovaries and our production of quality eggs at the right time of month....I may not have the exact science right, but there is alot of good info on the internet and books to help you understand! Last week I had diagnostic surgery and a few other things to take care of my endometriosis. I just got some more info today that I would like to share with you to give you hope............ |

It is comforting to know someone out there knows what I am going through, but then again I am sorry that you are having to go through it... I have a question do you have mood swings???? I do... How do you deal with them? Sometimes I have a hard time dealing with them... I have been reading alot on the internet on PCOS and I have bought 2 books... From what one book says its not just a healing of the body but healing of the mind and spirit as well... So IM trying all I can do... It will all work out I believe in the long run for all of us... I will most certainly keep you in prayers ... If you want we can keep in touch with email mine is in my profile.... I think we could help each other...Let me know... |

Hi" My name is Kathy, I am 28 yrs old mother of 2. I am here cuz about 5 yrs ago I had my tubes tied and I have had problems with my body every since. I suffer from awful mood swings the worse menstrual periods, and I even go through pregnancy symptoms often. I mean I know I can't get preg but yet the signs are there, so I go out and buy the test and negative. I am so lost and feel so alone. I talk to doctors and they give me no insight at all they just make me feel stupid. If there is anyone out there that can help me or even someone who is going through the same thing please let me know. Thank you. |

I just found out that both my left and right tubes are hydro. My husband and I are now just trying to get pregnant I am very nervous and scared that I will never be a mom. I am not sure what my options are, but I am going to see a RE next week. Do you know of anyone who had a successful pregnancy with L and R hydro |

I'm new too :) I'm 30 and my husband is 35, we have been trying for 7 years. I've done the Clomid (I call them my angry pills) I was on them for many years. Then we had the Ovarian Drilling (didn't work), then insemination - again didn't work. Now we just got done w/ day 14 of IVF and have a HGC of 29.4 - which means we're pregnant but according to my clinic we may not be. Confused.... |

Angie- I had a similar experience with a Dr. I researched why my cycle was ireegular and came upon PCOS. I asked the Dr. if it was possible if this is what I have and she said probably and that was it. There is a lot of information out there are one book I recommend is "Taking charge of your fertility" You can buy a used copy on amazon. com or textbookx.com. There is a great website out there...PCOS for the soul cysters. Google it and it should come up. It is another support board and FULL of women like US! I take Actos (similar to glucophage) and I have been ovulating on my own for years. We've also been going the IUI route, but with no luck. I take one month breaks inbetween clomid cycles because I end up with cysts from the clomid, but they usually go away within a month. Even though I have PCOS, I respond well to the clomid. |
