PCOS, Raised Prolactin - Rant and advice wanted


Hi,

Here is my story so far............

We decided July 08 to ttc properly, after 2 years of ntnp. July 09 i finally got my BFP. Shocked to say the least. Sadly i had a mmc on oct 12th.

I have always had irregular periods, but wasn't concerned - tbh saw it as a god send when it came to holidays etc.

8wks after mc when i hadnt had a visit from af, i went to the docs. She decided to do bloodwork and a transvaginal scan.

had blood done in dec - which came back with elevated prolactin at 643.

29th dec i had scan which showed several small cysts on both overies. - so i have pcos.

doc decided i should have blood taken again to check prolactin levels - jan 10these can back even higher at 1300.

doc decided i should have the prolactin looked at before pcos - so today i see a specialist.

ALL the specialist has done is look at my blood work - and guess what.....taken more!! now correct me if im wrong, but i thought a specialist was suppose to tell you what was happening, why and how to fix it. not just take more blood when i've already had 2 months worth taken.

I'm now at a loss of what to do? cd 57 and no af. no sign of af. dont seem to be getting anywhere with docs other than them wanting to take more blood. and i just want a baby.

i could cry - im fact i am.

anyone - help, give me advice. anything

Hey Misskat.. just wanted to send you some

i know how you feel, when i was diagnosed at first i just wanted to cry.. i didn't let myself not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.. but i have had a couple of rants at DH when he wants us to go out drinking at weekends and i can't ... even though he wants a little one so badly!!..

My last cycle was 4 months and i used to be regular before BCP.. i'm convinced it was a mixture of the chinese herbs and acupuncture that i'm taking that finally brought AF.. i had only been taking the herbs for a week and the doctor had said i should see AF within 1 -2 weeks so it worked. I feel much more positive this cycle... I'm off to see a specialist in a month or so and i'm sure they'll try and put me on clomid so i'm just hoping the TCM works before that

I too have been pregnant in the past 11 years ago but had an mc, so i know it can happen...

Just try and keep the PMA as much as you can..
