Diagnosed with PCOS today

RoxyRoo · Dec 2nd, 2009, 17:07 PM

I had my ultrasound today, he found my right ovary straight away and said it was polycystic but couldn't find my left ovary. So he had to use the internal probe, it took him about 5 minutes to find it but he got it eventually! That too was covered in cysts :'(

While I was there I asked him to check I wasn't pregnant (although there wasn't much chance of that) as I haven't come on for 20 weeks and have had very sore nipples but he showed me my womb and said it's definately empty... sob...

In a way I'm relieved to find out once and for all that I have it but I am devastated at the same time..

I've got an appointment with my doctor next Friday to discuss the next step.

My lovely fiance texed me afterwards saying "I love you so much my little lady. Don't worry because whatever happens we're in it together" Bless him, he's my rock.

Oooh...so sorry RoxyRoo. Your OH is soo sweet! It sounds like you are really in the right state of mind. Challenges come, but we have to trust that all be well. Sending hugs and prayers your way.

hey darling,

Firstly

, I was diagnosed a month ago with PCOS and its heart breaking isnt it... However because Im only 21 my Gynea isn't doing anything with me until me and OH are ready... its still a huge shock to be told something like that though.

Your OH sounds lovely, its times like that, that you realise how much they mean to you!! Having PCOS isn't the end of the road though, at least you know where you stand for when you TTC, (you may well be lucky and conceive immediately). it means you can progress with medical help quicker, now that you know whats 'up'. There are several ladies here who have PCOS as well and all are brilliant when it comes to support...

by all means hun, feel free to pm me if u wana chat or if theres anything you wana know about PCOS..

xxxx

Thanks GirlBlue, yes I am strangely ok about it all. I think it's because I've know deep down for years that I have it. I am extremely hairy all over and struggle with my weight but it's only when I came off the pill in January to TTC and my periods were none existant that I was sure.

So yes abit relieved that I'm not going mad but sad at the same time. xx

I'm sure you're feeling ht ewhole gamut of emotions. Well Lou is right, at least now you know for certain and can move forward with some sort of plan. Try to be good to your self today. Do something to maybe lift your spirits.

Hi Lou, thank you for your reply, I'm sorry to hear that you too have been diagnosed with the dreaded PCOS..

I've tortured myself tonight by reading about it and the affect which it can have on fertility and the increased risk of MC, it all looks bleak but I know there are ways around it. We've been TTC since January with no luck.

And yes, my OH is lovely, I'm very lucky xx

I'm so sorry hun... I just hope it all works out for you

Oh hun, I did that too!! I think web pages are there to scare us arent they. You're right, from reading the websites it all seems bleak, but then I go to the BFP section and see so many PCOS girls and it cheers me up. Im so sorry to hear you've been trying since January, did ur gynea say what he was going to start you off on??

I'm going to see my doctor next Friday so I guess I'll find out what happens next then.

I've also realised I've posted this in WTT rather than TTC, silly me, I'm losing it already!
