Young PCOS cyster

[mrssmalley]

I was just diagnosed with PCOS last week. I am only 22 years old. I have been married for almost 2 years and my husband and I were trying to have a baby when I diagnosed. There are no words to describe the hurt I felt in my heart and soul. I didnt feel like a good wife, and not even like a woman. Cause I cant do the one thing my body was designed to do. Can anyone tell me how they dealt with it emotionally and spiritually. I really need some help.

Your story brightens my day and I want to cry. I just started ttc in Feb 09 and found out that I have PCOS. I was prescribed femara (I had no side effects) and 500mg metformin (I had moderate side effects) and on cd20 my progesterone level was 8.7 but my doc reviewed my u/s and said it did not do as good as he hoped. So now I'm on my second round of femara 2.5mg and metformin 1500mg and I have no clue if I will ovulate or when it will occur. 2morrow I go to the RE b/c my doc feels that I need injectables so wish me luck. Baby Dust to all!

I would like to write to you and share my story. On October of 2008 I was diagnosed with PCOS, I felt hurt because I always wanted a family and finding about PCOS made it seem like it’s not possible. When my doctor offered me to take the Chlomid treatment I have refused with hope that we could do without it. On January of 2009 after another 3 months of trying, I realized that we are up for a challenge and it would be almost impossible without the treatment. So I went to the doctor and after another sonogram he put me on Chlomid 50 mg once a day. I think the first month of taking chlomid I did not feel any side effect. I was waiting day 21 when I would go back to the doctor for my progesterone test to see if I ovulated. It was such a disappointment my level was 0.3 which was an indication that I did not ovulate. I felt so hurt I was crying but after a while realized that I have to stop beating myself  up and would just have to try another month of chlomid. Second round, my doctor increased the dose to 100mg ( the side effects were so horrible  to the point that I knew that I did not want another month (third) of treatment and on day 21 I found out that I ovulated with level of 3.7. It was still low but it indicated that I ovulated late (my husband and I bought ovulation monitor and pre-seed). All we had to do then is wait, waiting for 14 long days to see if I am pregnant. It took so long for that time to come but there is always sunshine after a rain, I found out that I was pregnant on May 1(second round of chlomid). I am now waiting to go back to the doctor in 2 weeks and to see baby's heartbeat). After going through this treatment and waiting, I am excited and so nervous about being able to hear the heartbeat and to confirm that I have a normal pregnancy). I want to wish all of you baby dust!   Please don’t loose hope, even though it’s really tough time for you!

Has your doctor given you any medicine to help you to have a baby? I've had pcos since I was 20 and I know how you feel, but honestly you can't let this get you down. Are you on any medication to help with pcos? PCOS is not the end of the world, it's actually quite common in women to have this. As long as it is treated, many women go on to get pregnant and have healthy babies. Stay positive and follow up with your doctor to make sure it doesn't get worse. I wish you all the luck in world, but please remember having pcos is not the worse thing possible.
