Hi I wonder if anyone could help
About 5 years ago I had two miscarriages and after tests was found to have cysts on my ovaries......a blood test prior to this indicates polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The fertility doctor I was then sent to arranged the scan (which confirmed the cysts) and also arranged for my tubes to be dye tested for blockages. My tubes were clear.
Before my follow up appointment to discuss assisted conception methods I was found to be pregnant and went on to have a daughter......two years later I had my son.
As I've not needed help to conceive despite the pcos I have not returned to the doctor to manage the condition until now.
I'm now 32 and a good 5 stone overweight. I find losing weight incredibly difficult and my slimming world consultant has recommended I see the doc about medication to help the pcos and hopefully this will help me lose weight (I've lost 1stone in4 years).
My slimming world consultant is also pcos and takes metformin.
I guess what I am asking is will the doctor prescribe this if I am not looking to conceive?
Many thanks
