Should I Be Worried

[cng18]

turns out i'm not pregnant i have PCOS the DRs prescribed me a kick starting pill to start my period (i started it) my DRs know i'm trying to get pregnant and said nothing about waiting till next month to see if i start my period before trying again should i wait or would it be safe to try again ALSO this is making me bruise easy should i be worried

yeah it made my skin hurt and for anything to touch it it hurt like hell and i had weird marks all over my body that came one moment and gone the next also if that is the case then maybe it got the left over hormons out of my body bcuz i have a weird period TIM but the blood was orange looked weird the second one looked normal and now i'm ovulating and nothing

I was also prescribed this medroxyprogesterone and hated it because it made me hurt in very uncomfortable spots! The only thing this medicine does is clean you out. It does not help you ovulate. If ovulating is your problem then you might need to try something like Clomid. I have PCOS and the only sign that I had was weight gain and weird periods. I was put on Metformin and it help amazingly! Be sure you are going to a doctor that you feel comfortable with. My doctor makes me feel like I am his only patient. When ttc is very important to have a good doctor.

Lol I am on my phone and I meant dark spots instead of satisfy.

Well, honestly, I don't think you have it but you should have an ultrasound and some blood work to make for sure. But please remember, you don't have to have those symptoms to have PCOS. I do not have a problem with weird hair growth, satisfy spots, or loss of hair. In the beginning when I started having problems, my periods where even normal. I had leg cramps and they couldn't figure out why. An ultrasound showed cysts. The last ultrasound I had before I got pregnant showed many cysts on my ovaries. The doctor referred to it like a chocolate chip cookie. The ovary was the cookie and the chips where all the cysts. At that time I had no signs other than missing a period every other month.

she just looked at me and said your over weight and you haven't had a period i called another dr and they said the best way to see if you have pcos is to do testing and i dnt go to her anymore i drive 45 mins to see a dr thats even half way good :( not happy about that lol but i dnt think i have it bcuz i'm working out now and the pounds are just slipping off my body like butter on the side of a hot pan and my periods aren't regular yet but the first on i in december weird the second one normal and i haven't had one yet hopefully not until the 22 my ovulation time ends the 7th so if i dnt start in this time i'll be happy and that means its starting to smooth out right?
i hope so ^^ the thing is that makes me think i dnt have PCOS is simply bcuz of the 2 reasons above and i've never had a problem with my period b4 the weight thing i would put them on easy and lose them easy so yeah and i dnt have dark spots hair growth in a weird place or hair loss

I have PCOS and trust me.... No one has the same signs of it. When I was younger I over bled. When I was older, I skipped periods. Birth control can cause cysts. If you are prone to cysts, birth control ups your chances. My mother doesn't have PCOS. It can be hereditary and also not. Good luck with this. Try asking your doc to try you on metformin. Metformin really helps. I started it in October and got pregnant in December.

Your mother doesn't have to have PCOS for you to have it. You can be the only one in your family to have it. If you do have it however, it would make your children more likely to have it. If you don't trust your doctors opinion, seek a different one. There is no one test for it - they use ultrasound, blood work, symptoms as well as medical history.

i only was prescribed 10 pills and was told to take one a day and it was no refills the meds are called medroxyprogesterone i don't have all the signs for PCOS tho the DR. just looked at my chart and told me I have it and if that was the case my mother would have it to and no1 in my family has had this problem b4  so i think i was misdiagnose bcuz my periods weren't out of wack until i started taking birth control  i had 2 periods the month of december none yet this month i'm supposed to start the 22 so keeping my fingers crossed ^^

You know, whether your pregnant our not you can sill have sex. :) I'd say keep trying just in case. I have pcos and been on met formin almost 2 years, they upped my perscription in july and was able to conceive in september.. My dh and I did not keep track of ovulation as my cycles are super wacky just had sex. . . It'll happen. :) sending baby dust your way!

hey, i have pcos and i am on metformin to regulate my periods and help me conceive by lowering my insulin resistance. is this the same as u?
it can make you sick at the start but stick to it coz in most cases a woman with pcos who is actively trying while taking metformin get pregnant within 3-6months. if it is the pill u are taking then you can try as much as you want and once it kicks in you will start to regulate. let me know if this is the pill you have been prescribed and if you have any questions just ask :)
