Hello Again!

[littlemorag]

Good afternoon ladies,

I used to lurk around a few months ago but now I have passed the 12 month ttc mark and have finally called the doctor and made an appointment to see whats happening.

I had CD21 tests done at 6 months which showed I was ovulating except my testosterone levels were on the high side of normal and to come back after 12 months had passed.

I was wondering what would happen next? I have so many symptoms of PCOS or PCO like a couple of skin tags and pretty awful facial/ body hair. I am also overweight but lost 4 stone a couple of years ago (still got 3 to go!)
My periods are regular but recently have been different, like getting extreme pain on CD3/4 followed by a 'gush' (sorry tmi) of very red blood and clots.

The past year my weight loss has turned into a slow weight gain and i just feel like I have not relaxed in a year - which is probably part of my problem.

Having looked aroung some of your journals I have laughed and cried this morning and have been inspired by all of your stories. I have also booked an acupuncture appointment thanks to Vineyards journal!!

I am also on day 3 back on weight watchers, I know i can do this...

I am going to concentrate on getting my body ready for pregnancy, no matter when that may happen, I feel like I just need a little place to chat with others who may be in the same situation.

Sorry for going on, I hope I can be of some support on this board too!

Moragx

Hey morag, bienvenidos. I am technically still a lurker at 8 months ttc, but feel quite happy here.

Have you had a scan to rule out PCOS? My scan confirmed this before we were actually ttc, and was told to do nothing until I want children. Well that time has come and I'm awaiting my cd21 tests (as soon as AF shows up sometime this year)

I'm also back on WW, day 2 today, so got some moral support here!

Morag and welcome!

When I went for my initial blood tests everything came back ok - it was only after an internal ultrasound that they picked up PCO (I don't think I have the syndrome though as no other symptoms than cysts on ovaries)

Oh hey you've taught me something already - I do get the odd skin tag and didn't realise that this is a PCO symptom! Also the odd hair on the chin but nothing major

Anyway hope your tests work out ok and you don't spend too long in the ltttc-ers!

Take care xx
