hi everyone,
last time i was on here this category wasnt on here so im really pleased it is now.
i was diagnosed with PCOS 9 years ago and it has caused alot of problems, i regularly get cysts on my ovaries, my weight has ballooned and ive been trying for a baby for just over a year now.
the doctor has prescribed me metformin to
1) aid weight loss
2) increase my fertility chances
im very nervous about taking this medication but am willing to give anything a shot.
i currently have no cycle naturally at all, i have been on provera for the last 6 years and have bleeds about 4 to 5 times a year.
im still continuing on provera whilst on the metformin.
i only have pain rarely and when i do it feels like someone is twisting my womb lol but hopefully with weight loss this sould improve.
i go to the gynaecologist every 3 months for scans and checks and they have been brilliant with me since the day i was diagnosed.
its so nice to know that theres a forum to come to for support and to offer others support because we all need it at times.
i am lucky to have the most wonderful partner i could wish for, he is so understanding and supportive and come to every appointment with me but as none of my friends have PCOS i find it hard to speak to them about it.
ill stop rambling on now but i cant wait to make new friends on here and share experiences good and bad
xx
