Im Very Uspest N Need to Vent :( Posted: 04-06-06 14:45pm
I just came back from my doctors
appointment and I found out monday I have
pcos. So I went today to see what we were
going to do to treat this.My doctor told
my she needed to send me to a speaicalist
and I can't get in there until june 3rd.
But she told me that she remends that I go
on bc for at least a yr. I've been ttc
for two years. I don't want to wait
another.. And what if I wait the yr and
still cant get preg. I don't know what to
do.. The people I talked to that have
this tell me they get put on meds to help
them have a baby, I don't know why she
didn't do that for me. Do you think I
should go for a sec oppion?? Im so upset
I can't even cry. I wanted a baby for so
long... Now why is it so diffcult for me
and easy for others. I read so much on
this and I never seen anything on bc
except for people that don't want to get
preg. She said I need to give my ovaries
a rest. A rest!! From what?? There not
working they don't need a rest. Anyone
that could relate or anyone with an idea
please let me know.

The first thing doctors usually want to do
is put you on birth control pills to
regulate your periods a little bit ...
Assuming that you have irregular periods
with pcos, and then move onto clomid, etc.
Once you've tried for a year. If you're
older, though, they'll usually move you
right up to clomid if you have been trying
for a year or more.
I found out that I had pcos when I was 20
and my Dr. Wanted to put me on birth
control pills (because I was ready to have
a baby). I hadn't had a period in about
9 months prior to seeing my dr (until
about a couple weeks before I went to see
him). I decided not to get the birth
control pills for about a month because I
felt like I could be pregnant. I was!
Now, i've been trying for another one for
almost 2 years and it hasn't happened.
I've probably had 2 periods in the last
year ... And i'm kinda like you. I
don't want to get on birth control pills
to regulate myself because that means that
I have to wait longer to get pregnant
again.
So, it's perfectly normal for a Dr. To
put you on birth control pills before they
move you to the heavy drugs. If you're
in your mid to late thirties, though, I
would definitely get a second opinion.
Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
A second opinion can't hurt. Another
doctor may try to go another route with
you.

Thanks guys but theres one thing I dont
understand. Dosen't bc and
clomid do the same thing with the
period??? I know oversly bc pervents preg
and clomid basically makes ya. So why
wouldn't she put me on clomid if I
wouldn't a baby.? And bc for a yr.
Anyways I did make another appointment
with a speacialist. Now that I am aware
of the opptions I have.. I am going to
put all my cards on the table no bc

I have heard of people using birth control
to regulate cycles for 1-3 months at a
time but never a year. I'm not real sure
though. I don't know much about pcos.
Have you been able to find anything on the
internet? I am glad you made another
appt. I have also heard of people using
the drug metformin (sp?) if they have an
insulin resistant form of pcos.

Yea thats what i've been reading. It
never said anything about people going on
bc if she wants to become preg.. I guess
I am young but im 20 im not 12 I think I
have the rite to make up my own mind, but
I have found things on pcos if you want to
check it out.. Pcos.Com n about the 1-3
months that would be ok I wouln't like it
but if I had to i'd do it. But not a yr..
She said the older I gett the harder it
would be for me to have kids.. So why
wouldn't she help me?? I don't know here
I go again venting.
