You're too funny! My frined from work has PCOS and was given metformin and it worked...She has a little 8 month old fellow now......I had to do the 3 hour fasting glucose test when I was pregnant and let me tell you...CHOW DOWN the night before! LOL. I was so weak by the time the last draw came around that I stuffed Kit-Kats (it was around Halloween) in my pockets, went and had my blood drawn and was stuffing them in my mouth as fast as I could on the way out of the hospital! Glad to hear that your thyroid is OK.....that can be a pain to regulate! Lots of luck Mr. Joy! HAHA!
Wow...Glad you're finally figuring it all out though. It's good you went and had it all checked. Same thing was wrong with one of my friends and having high testosterone just made her not conceive as fast as she would have liked to. But it happened!! Goodluck girl!! Keep us updated!
GOOD luck with your tests - glad to hear you're not really a man - wouldn't that shock the **** out of your hubby!!!LOL!!

Well, I did walk in and say, "Daniel, I'm a man." He gave me the funniest look I think I've ever seen. I'm really very embarassed (I really don't know why---but heck, my emotions are all over the place!).
My doctor did tell me that if we don't get this taken care of I probably won't have more kids, or it'd be REALLY hard (like having to do some artifical and IVF or something). I will be satisfied with my two girls but I still want the OPTION of being able to conceive. So we're definitely going to figure it all out.
Thanks for your supports! Ha, Mr. Joy. I might use that one. I'm blogging about it right now!
Don't be embarassed.....Nothing you can do about it! I know that they can give testosterone if you're low...Is there anything to reduce it, or counteract the effects of it? I wonder if it's a fluke and maybe something is just going on currently that has increased it and it will reverse itself......I wish I knew more about it...Just throwing out questions.....
I feel as though my body is SLOWLY regulating itself. I've actually been able to lose weight. You see when I was excerising and eating right, I lost like 2 lbs. When I said, "To heck with it!" I lost 10 lbs (just in the past month). Plus I saw CM yesterday (haven't seen in a year) and my periods are regulating and are lasting 10 days instead of 14+.
So I definitely things are regulating on their own. It has been 2 weeks since the blood draw so it is very possible that it is "fixing itself". I told my doc all this and she thought it was promising.
Hey young man,LOL... well girl its not uncommon,you have an hormone imbalance i suffer with the same,more male hormones.i can tell ya i get a better beard than my fella,na seriously metformin is usually good enough to solve the issue.it can be related to pcos but to be honest i wouldnt say it is,your periods seem to be regulateing again,good luck,you be fine...
Thanks, tarajanes! You always give me such an uplifting report. My doc did do a pelvic exam 2 weeks ago when we drew the blood and said everything felt and looked normal but she still wants to do an ultrasound. I feel like I'm going to break the bank but at least we are figuring everything out.
Oh, and I don't have like dark facial hair! I mean everyone has facial hair but mine just seemed to be more noticeable lately? Still pale blonde hair, but more of it, I guess? Hard to explain but embarassing nonetheless! I just can't wait to get all of this figured out and move on.
