PCOS and Pregnancy Advice

by TMJN, Jun 11, 2007 12:00AM
I have always had health issues.  From the time I started having periods, I had long, heavy ones, and often fainted during them.  I found out I was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) at about age 13.  I started on birth control at age 17.  I came off of it at 19, and went back on at 20 because this was my doctor's answer for everything.  I stayed on for a year and a half, but was feeling very sick.  I came off on my own, and gained 80lbs in about 3 months.  No one had anything nice to say or any advice to me, other than don't eat so much.  That is until my reg. doctor threw me off on another doctor last August.  I knew I had PCOS and Endo.  This doctor gave me metformin, which makes me very sick when I take it.  

I haven't had period since October.  Until yesterday.  I have been having cramps that wake me up in the middle of the night for the past few weeks.  These started again yesterday.  I started having some light pinkish discharge.  I'll have take a round of provera to have a period and stop the discharge and cramps or it will never end.  I know this.  However, I do want to have a baby.  I am 25 now and I want to be a mom more than anything.  I know it is my hormone inbalances that are causing this and I know that birth control pills caused my body to do this.  I have also tried clomid.

Are there any suggestions?  Any hope?  I'm willing to try just about anything.
