I'd just like to join in on the general crappiness of today if that's ok. This afternoon I had my follow up appointment with my doctor. She says I have PCOS and she wants to do a D&C on me since I'm still bleeding (it's been over 2 months now). Then she wants me to go on birth control, which I'm not sure will really help anything (just mask the problems instead) but whatever, I guess it's worth a try. I always kinda worried I'd have a hard time getting pregnant but now it looks like those fears might be coming true. Anyway, I know this isn't as bad as losing a job, but it still sucked for me today. Thanks for listening.
Re: can I join in?
I seriously just got back from the doctor and was told that she thinks I have PCOS too. (I was going to post something similar to see if anyone over here has it) I've got to go get some more lab work done and get an ultrasound done within the next 2 weeks.
The last period I had was in August, i've got the opposite thing going on.
Zombie hugs to both of you.
Remember back in '08 or '09 where we coordinated all out drunk nesting night and lots of us participated? I think tonight calls for that again. JMO.
That sounds good to me... I'm sitting around feeling sorry for myself (even though we aren't trying to have a baby right now so i don't know why it even matters... whatever)
Oh...I also forgot to put deodorant on today.
Leah & Jackie, I'm sorry about your lady parts situations. Zombie hugs!

More zombie hugs for both of you!

While this definitely sucks, I'm glad that it sounds like you at least are getting information and can start coming up with a game plan. Sending thoughts your way!
Seems I'm getting a late start tonight.
Sorry about the news you both heard at your dr appts. I don't know much about PCOS but I hope things get under control soon.
Sending zombie hugs your way over a beer!
I have a friend who was diagnosed with PCOS and while she did have to go through some fertility treatments to get pregnant, she has two beautiful children.
Sorry about your lady bits, ladies!
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
I am so sorry Leah and Jackie. I was diagnosed with PCO with the first infertility doctor I saw. I am still not convinced this was the problem because they never ran the appropriate tests to confirm and I don't have any of the classic symptoms.
Are they RX Metaformin for either of you?
If you guys need support I am here. It took us 2 1/2 years to get pregnant. We had no idea when we started trying that there would even be a problem.
Hugs to both of you!
I'm so sorry girls. When they wanted to test me for it I was so scared, mostly because I didn't know what it is... but since you know now, hopefully your doctor can get it under control so that when you are TTC you'll be ready. I've seen TONS of girls on the bump with PCOS and healthy pregnancies, so don't feel like this is a dead end at all.
But, I know how much it sucks to feel like you're broken. I was going through that earlier in 2010 (6 mo. with no period). It's scary and really shitty. I'll be sending you both T&P and I hope your procedure goes well and stops the bleeding, Leah.
Ugh! I'm a little late on this, but I'm so sorry ladies. What a crappy crappy day for the NFL Nesties. Hugs and big glasses of wine to both of you!
