PCOS help
So I have been MIA for some time here. So here’s some back story. My husband and I decided to try for a baby (first for both of us) back in June/July. I’ve been on birth control since I was 15. I was not sexually active. However, I had irregular periods and severe cramping (flow was ‘normal’). I heard getting the birth control out of my system could take time. I later found out (last month) not to be true (my OBGYN informed me). So basically we tried, tried, tired. I had never been so excited in my life to be taking such a huge step in my life (I always said I never wanted kids, also that I couldn’t have any). Eventually I bought ovulation tests and started using this app. According to the app I should be ovulating.... pee on the stick, take a picture, negative. This continued until last month (December/January). I was back to irregular periods even skipped a month, was on my period for 2weeks at one point. Eventually I decided I was done. I was done with the physical pain, inconvenience of my irregular period, emotional disappointment and the feeling of failure. So after much conversation I went to my OBGYN to get back on my Birth control. I had the conversation with my Doctor of why I went off my BC, ovulation rest (negative), using this app and why I originally went on my BC at age 15. So I was acted of diabetic ran in my family (it does), I also yo-yo in my weight (currently at my heaviest). That’s when the doctor stated PCOS. The doctor stated their is a medication she could prescribe to help get pregnant that is prescribed for diabetics (it increases ovulation). No tests where done to come to this what I think was a dialysis. I also cried in relieve, which I did not expect. But now torn do I want to try again r just wait r not try at all. I also wanted to keep us trying to conceive between my husband and I due to the fear of possibly my being able t get pregnant and the if something bad would happen in the early stages f the pregnancy. So I have no outlet for this. I also personally know someone who is struggling with infertility and PCOS. I don’t feel comfortable talking about this to anyone she knows or around her as I don’t want to be a “me to” as she’s dealing with a lot right now. Just looking for advice
