Sooo, I went yesterday to a fertility clinic for the first time. I explained my issues and that I wanted to conceive via donor sperm. So, without any testing she said "You have PCOS".... let me explain...
So I am 21 and heavy (I have been heavy my entire life my height weight was 415lbs, horrible I know!!) I am 280lbs currently. I also have irregular cycles, but even though I still have a lot to lose. since I lost weight my cycles have been every 27 days like clockwork! I have slight-moderate pain during AF, excess hair growth, and little to no pain during ovulation. So after going over my "symptoms" the doctor goes "You have PCOS". Sooo onto the ultrasound...
she said my Uterus and cervix look normal and great. Then she looked at my ovaries..... this was CD 7 btw.....I have 16 Antral Follicles on my right ovary and 19 Antral Follicles on my Right Ovary.
Call me crazy but from what I'm reading those amount of Follicles are normal for someone my age! And actually is a good number!! My research shows some doctors saying 25 or more follicles on each ovary is cause for concern for PCOS. Others saying 30 or more Follicles on each ovary is cause for concern for PCOS. Because keep in mind that was CD 7... not all of those Follicles will mature... and not all Follicles hold eggs! I have blood work on CD 21 to see if I'm ovulating... but from the ultrasound it doesn't sound like my ovaries are poly-cystic!
What do you ladies think?! Thanks in advanced!!
