So I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Doc found endo and polycystic ovaries and says I will not get pregnant without meds most likely (I don't ovulate).
This all has me scared. I want a family more than anything and am scared I will not be able to have kids. My boyfriend isn't ready right now to go ahead with fertility meds because we dont want it to happen right away but we also don't want to prevent it.
I do not want to go on BC... are there other options for controlling the endo? I'd like to get my body ovulating naturally and go from there. I've just recently in the last year regulated my period because I lost over 130lbs. I'm hoping I can get my body ovulating as well and if I get pregnant then it was meant to be. I don't want to force my body to do.something it doesn't want to.
I've read that vitex helps with ovulation as well as controlling estrogen levels which would help with my endo as well. Specially if I continue eating right and exercising.
Does this sound stupid? To not get on BC because we don't necessarily want to be pregnant right now but we don't want to prevent.it either?
I have an appointment on the 28th for the doctor too look at my bbt chart. My boyfriend is also supposed to have a.semen analysis done before then as well. This all needs.to be done.before I can take meds. Should I just cancel the appointment and try the vitex? It takes.up to 3 months to work. So maybe in 4 months if I'm still not ovulating I'll go the BC route or maybe my boyfriend will be 100% for the fertility meds.
