Recently diapognosed with PCOS

[pearlstrings]

I am really worried about my abilities to pregnant and have a baby. I really want one and have visited 4 very well recommended female obs. All of ran tests and failed to diagnse me with PCOS. I have been aprehensive to visit a male ob till recently; even after i have been referred to Pankaj Shirivastav practising in UAE. Anyhow, i had finally ran over my inhibitions and decided to meet him after all.

And then i was diagnosed with PCOS. i was shown that i had cysts in both my ovaries. The right one having a count of 16! I have been also told that anything more than 12 was significant...

I have my next appointment on june 15th, I am 27 yrs and my husbands semen analysis had it shown that the motility wasn't too good. I have been asked to get my tubes checked as well as have the insulin tested before my next visits...

I would be happy to know if anyone has had similar experiences and if you could please share them with me...I can't wait to have a baby and i am bigtime worried and can't seem to take thisoff my mind...

please help.

I was diagnosed with PCOS last week finally, after not having periods since March 07. My hubby and I have been ttc since then and no luck! I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder and have been taking meds for that. But they said that was not causing my infertility. I went to a fertility doc in Jan. and had laproscopic surgery and he removed some cysts and said I had polycystic ovareis. He was reluctant to diagnose me PCOS because I did not fit the other criteria. Well last week I saw a new RE and she said I have PCOS and started me on glucophage and endometrium for my periods. I am now waiting to have a period (and get my thyroid level under 1-it was 66) and then I will start clomid, hopefully in July.
My fertility doc was male and I loved him! if you are not seeing an RE you should. They know a lot more about stuff like PCOS and fertility than just an ob. Have you seen a fertility doc yet? I just ask because they are all about getting you pregnant. I had my first visit with mine in Dec. and by Jan. he was doing the laproscopic surgery to remove my cysts and doing ultrasounds to check my tubes, ovaries... He did comprehensive blood work on me and my husband. He was going to start me on clomid in May, but then my thyroid failed. My fertility doc knew how much I wanted to have a baby and did not make me wait around-he was very upfront and honest about what he thought I should do. I don't even see my regular gyno anymore. I see my fertility doc and my RE.
So are you on any meds yet to treat your PCOS? If so, what? Did he see the cysts through a vaginal ultrasound? Don't worry-you will get pregnant! And when we do we will just really appreciate our babies even more because of what we had to go through to get them!! Stay positive. Ashley
