Another Chick In the Pcos Boat :( Posted: 05-24-07 16:04pm
Got my diagnosis today at the RE. She
didnt even need to do bloodwork. I took
in my opks (20 test strips taped together,
ocd, I know) She took one look at them and
said, oh no you have pcos. She said I
never had a lh surge. The pcos is the
reason I was having light and dark lines
on every strip.
Anyways, heres the plan now. I can't take
metformin due to my kidney transplant, but
she said the south beach diet, and 30
minutes of exercise 5xs/week works the
same. So , I have a diet to start
tomorrow. I need to take 10 days of
prometrium to start my period (day 44, no
af) then on day 3 of af get a fasting test
of all my hormone levels + glucose. Cd
7-12, a sonohysterogram to check tubes,
ovaries and uterus. If I get a +opk then
8 days after I will get a midluteal
progesterone level. If not, then I wont.
I also have to do opks and temps from now
on. Guess its time for a ff account.
On june 26th, after all bloodwork and
levels are back, I will go back and
discuss whats next. She said shes pretty
sure it will be clomid. So, thats my
story. I feel like a crazy mad scientist
with all my papers and charts.
You know what the weird thing was? The
whole time I was in the office listening
to the doctor talk, I kept thinking "what
if my baby grows up to be a serial
killer?" Isnt that horrible to think. I
think I am getting the baby jitters now
that everything is rolling along. Or
maybe Im just nuts.

Your doctor sounds like she is up on it
too. I just got diagnosed yesterday with
pcos and hyperthyroidism. You may want to
have your thyroid checked too because most
people that have pcos have a thyroid
condition as well for some reason and
thyroid problems not controlled greatly
increase the risk of miscarriage.

Don't worry. Your doctor seems pretty
confident and wants to solve this problem
and get you pregnant! It will be all
worth it when you get your little baby.

Well, I'm glad that you got to go to the
re and that he has a plan for you. It
isn't the best news to get, but it isn't
the worst. At least you have some
answers. It sounds like he has a good
plan of action for you. See now you are
just that much closer to getting your
wish.
Best of luck down that road. Before you
know it you will be posting about your
bfp.
