Trying to get pregnant
I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome when I was 16. The doctor put me on birth control and told me that the pill would make the cysts go away. I was on the pill for a year and it did not help. I went to my dr again when I was 24 and was told the same thing. The dr again prescribed birth control and told me everything would be fine. I'm having severe pain on my left side and some pain on my right side. I want to have kids sometime in my life but I don't think i'll ever be able to. I can't take birth control anymore. Any type of birth control makes me sick now. Can you please help? Will I be able to conceive sometime in the future or not? Will I need to get any sortof treatment done? Will I ever need a hysterectomy?
im sorry it posted twice oops.
hey what you have is PCOS...i have tons of friends who have PCOS and still have healthy kids...if i were you i would get a OB to rx you metformin (glocophage) beacuse basically PCOS is being insulin resistant so metformin usually does the trick ive been taking it for 1 yr now and my periods are where they should be once you decided to have kids i would go see a fertitly specialist just beacuse OBs dont really get into it much you wont need a hysterectomy silly lol calm down...read about PCOS when i was first dx with it i went hysterical check out this web site www.soulcysters.com it has really helped me understand a lot and i have been reading a lot of books too if you ever have any questions feel free to ask!! GOOD LUCK.
