This forum has been an amazing find for me as well. I have a ton of forums that I've been a part of, but it seemed like there really weren't that many people that had pcos or were going through what I've been going through either. Here I've found a ton of great people that have the same issues that I do and it just is so comforting!
I don't know if I mentioned this in the other thread, but like cdespain, my period has been non-existant for the last year and a 1/2. The only reason that I've had the 3-4 periods that I've had is because my OB gave me prometrium to kickstart them every 6 weeks if they don't show by then. Mine didn't disappear after a docs visit, but after I went off of BC instead. It was kind of like going off BC was the straw that broke the back of my PCOS and made it really rear it's ugly head. lol
My 1st OB was less then helpful with all of this just telling me that my hormone levels were normal and that she had no idea why my period wasn't coming. My 2nd OB has been a true Godsend! My first appointment with her lasted 2 hours. TWO HOURS! She sat and asked a ton of questions to get to know about me and my history and how my body works. She listened to my comments, asked more questions, and took the time to answer all of mine.
Then she sent me to another Godsend! My endocrinologist. She again did the same thing - took the time to get to know me via questions and answers and more questions. She took the time to explain my blood work results when I got them and answer any questions I had about pcos and changes in my life style that I should make.
It so frustrating when you don't have that support from your doctors. They throw these things at you and then expect that you will just intuitively know how best to fix it. *ugh*
If there are any questions that I can answer regarding pcos, I'm happy to do so within my limited experiences.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for your support dodgercpkl, and sharing your experience with me!
I am feeling a bit more hopeful today as AF decided to show yesterday! YAY! I have never been so happy to see her! Now I can try my first round of Clomid on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!
Question to those of you who may have tried clomid before: AF started lightly on Sat. semi disappeared until Sun. night (and still light but continuous). I counted the first day of cycle from Sun. is that correct? I don't wanna mess it up.
LOL!
