Hiya Ladies!

I'd like to join your group. I just found out yesterday via ultrasound I have PCOS (although I suspected was the case). I'm waiting on additional blood work and then I'll be started on thyroid meds, but I'm not sure what I'll get for the PCOS. Its not great news, but I'm thankful to have all my parts and eggs. Hopefully with acupuncture and western medicine I can have a lil one next year! Good luck to you all!
 
Hi Turboturtle

I saw PCOS as a really bad thing when i was first diagnosed, i was devastated but there are so many things they can do to help you that its not as much of a problem as we think most of the time :hugs:

Oh acupuncture, im trying that too, hw are you finding it?? He's trying to cool me down t start with and that is working, you can see it on my temp charts!! I love it!!

Are you seeing a specialist now?? x

Hi Clobo! Over the years I've gotten pretty used to the possibility I had it, so my diagnosis wasn't too traumatizing. I am seeing a fertility specialist who I absolutely love and she seemed very casual about the whole thing (in a good way), so it seems she can get me drugged up properly so we have a good chance. I LOVE acupuncture. I can feel my body fixing itself and it does heal the hopelessness I've had. I definitely can see your temps have cooled, congrats! Are you taking the herbs also for PCOS? Are you or have you thought about taking Clomid?
 
Hi Ladies,

I was part of this thread a while ago - I wasn't ovulating (progesterone levels <2nmol), had no periods. Tried 1 year of Clomid, was on 1000mg Metformin everyday and then was put on Tamoxifen.....

I done one round of Tamoxifen (20mg), had my CD21 bloods done and my progesterone came back as 94nmol!!!! (needs to be over 30nmol for ovulation to have occurred). I'm only on CD25 today but got my long waiting for BFP on Saturday evening (CD23!!)

Docs don't seem to like to give Tamoxifen as it is very expensive, but it has very little side effects compared to Clomid and has slightly better results.

I wanted to share this story with you so that if like me you felt as though you were at the end of road, here is another option.

Best of luck to you

xxxxx
 
Hi Everyone!!!

Just so happy to have found this thread! I am having my PCOS ultrasound tomorrow but I have pretty much all the symptoms in the book so i started dieting as soon as my doctor said it might be that. I am not clinically overweight but stopping the pill seems to have unleashed the PCOS beast and I have put on about 8-9 pounds in as many months.
Freaking out a bit about the ultrasound, did you all have it intra-vaginally?
I just really can't wait to get a final diagnosis even if i really dread it and get started with a treatment. I can't wait to just have a positive OPK to start with!
 
I had mine intra-vaginally, actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Gl hun
 
Yep, my dear, it's internal. It's not bad and if you have PCOS, you'll get used to it. I have at least 2 of them a cycle to monitor everything.
Good luck!!
 
I have at least 3-4 internal ultrasounds a cycle. After you get used to the idea a probe that looks like a dildo with gel is going inside you all the time, it's not so bad even though I would normally insist on dinner before something got that far with me =P.
 
LOL... i guess i might even get to enjoy it :) That will be a change :)
hopefully I might get an idea of the results before I see my Gynaecologist next week!
 
congratulations WONGABUBBLES !!!!!
you have given me some extra hope !!!!!:happydance:
 
Hi all

Quick one as I'm on me hols!!

Wonga, congratulations :happydance: that's brilliant news!!

Turbo, yes I have done two rounds of clomid so four left, they did the trick and I ovulated cd 18 both times, just waiting to get my period so I can take the next lot now!! No herbs for me but I love the acu!! Good luck

Euro, don't worry about the ultra sounds, they are discreet and painless and the ladies have always been so kind and lovely, hope it goes ok for you!!

Big hugs and :dust: to all xxx
 
@ Euronova,

Internal (transvaginal) ultrasound isn't particularly pleasant because they press scan to your ovaries and it might cause some discomfort. The scan itself is thin (maybe as wide as 1-1,5 fingers).
 
Aw Valerie that's a shame you had a bad experience, mine have never hurt though, can just feel pressure and movement.

Xxx
 
i was also nervous when i had mine, but i got used to it, was not painfull at all, doc was gentle. all i felt was pressure and the movement.
good luck to all you ladies....
 
Maybe my cysts are what caused a bit of discomfort? I don't know ... when doc pressed scan to either side it felt unpleasant ...
