Just diagnosed
I am 22 years old and have had 5 miscarriages now, a 6 months long period that ended in an emergency D&C, and now I've just been diagnosed with PCOS.
My husband and I want to have a baby. The doctors have told us that because of the damage my body has already suffered (plus the PCOS now), my chances of having many children are slim. So we started trying about 4 months ago for a baby. I just was diagnosed with PCOS on Monday. I just started a round of provera to jump start my period. After the rest of my test results come back (they are testing my insulin resistance...or something like that), then the doctor wants to start me on metformin.
I know this is terrible to say, but I hope that the tests come back so that I have to take Metformin. My body has been so messed up and I can't seem to do anything to fix it. The doctor says that this is our best shot, so I want this. We just want to be parents.
Anyway, I'm just looking for a place of support. It's nice to know that I'm not alone out there.

Hi, I am soo sorry for your losses. I would also suggest asking your Dr. to test you for clotting disorders- based on your high number of miscarriages. If he/she needs a refernce point they can answer questions at the University of Utah. They have completed and are currently running studies regarding miscarriages, and clotting disorders. They also have a great PCOS department. Good luck!
