Hi, Im not in ttc section but just wanted to tell you my story!
2 years ago i came off my pill beacuse of problems with my periods and thought i would give them time to sort itself out, however i did not have periods for several months and when they did return i would probably have 2-3 a year.
I went to my drs many times and kept being fobbed off! all my blood tests including hormone profiles came back normal. Because i am only 25 he said he would not scan me to see if there was a problem, i must add that in 1996 i did have abdominal surgery and only ended up with 1 fully functioning ovary so he would do anything else about it! Said my chances of conceiving were 50% ( not what you want to hear at 25!!!)
In dec 2007 i actually had a period, on boxing day so very memorable! then in jan got a bfp! I was very shocked as both me and hubby thought after 2 years and what i had been told we would never have babies! A very pleasant surprise, although not perfect timing, im not complaining!
I just thought this may give you some hope, take care hope to see you in 1st tri soon xx

I'm hoping they'll do something for me as I want it sorted, probably losing weight would help also, but I dont think its that whats causing it.

I found out yesterday from a work colleague that there's a Well Woman Clinic in my town so I will definately be going there if my GP doesnt do anything.

At least it's Friday today and I have a party tonight

We have been TTC for 10 months now. My GP new this and did tests before we started which showed nothing as I was on the Pill for ablou 6 yrs B4 that. But after 4 months of no periods he sent me to this great Gyno who does research on PCOS and other things who pretty much confirmed what the GP thought (that I have PCOS).

He thisnks that some of symptoms have come on due to weight gain in the last 4 years, it wasnt too much though and Im not overweight.

Trided me on clomid 3rd cycle now on 150 and it has finally started to work.

Good luck trying to get you Dr to prescribe, only specalists in NZ can prescribe met and clomid.


D

I dont know anything about GP's prescribing Met or Clomid in Scotland? Anyone know?

Just to let you guys know I still havent got my testosterone results back yet - been 3 weeks on Tuesday since bloods were done.

I dont have thyroid problems though and another one of the tests came back clear so now just have to wait on the last one.

Last year it was a little higher than normal but I dont know what to expect next?

Anyone?

Hi,

You mentioned your weight......how much do you weigh??

I have to say though that i agree with the others, do not let the stick you on the pill. Thats a bit like saying, we can't really be bothered to help, so take these and come back next year!!!

Well my doc just phoned me with my results, she suspects I have mild PCOS as testosterone is a little higher than normal. (I dont have any other symptoms other than irregular periods!).

She spoke about pill again which i told her no because of migraines with them, she is writing out a prescription for a pill I have to take for 5 days then a week later I should get period She also explained that chances are high that after a couple of cycles my periods might regulate WOO HOO!!

I know its not a good thing to have PCOS but I feel I am actually getting somewhere after over a year with problems.

So pleased i've found a doc who actually listens to what I say

Hi Lisa, can I ask you what the name of that pill is? I never thought I would hear myself say it but regular periods would be a dream!!!!

I was given Norethisterone tablets, I've to take 3 per day (15mg) for 5 days, usually between day 19-26 but as im so irregular I started yesterday, so this is day 2 Should get my period 2-3days after last pill.

Nothing to report at the moment other than a slight pain in my tummy about an hour after I take a pill, I suspect this is just the pill doing its job

Even bought sanitary towels today at Tesco lol - how crazy am i getting excited about getting my period - my OH said it'll be like niagara falls pmsl!!
