It's official - I have PCOS

Tiffany • 35 years old w/PCOS. Conceived a girl (born Jan. ‘17) on Clomid. Second girl born Oct. ‘20 on Fermara. Now pregnant naturally with baby #3
My transvaginal/pelvic ultrasound showed a picture of what was described as many cycts on my ovaries.  Wow... I just can't believe I have it.  It took a week to get this news, but I was sure this wasn't going to be the case.  It crossed my mind a couple times, but I thought this would be more noticeable.  I mean, I've always heard that women with PCOS have painful twinges... but I guess I'm just not one of those girls.  
My doctor called to tell me this morning and to let me know where we go from here.  I'm not ovulating at all she said.  Not sure if I'll be taking clomid, metformin or both - but my lab tests will help determine this.
*Sigh* - and as I suspected, she also wants me to lose 10 pounds.  
Feeling very discouraged today.  I know this hormonal disorder is very common, but I feel broken.  How many more months of trying will this take??
I feel like the baby in my dreams is forever away :-(
I will keep you all informed when I get my lab test results and what the next plan will be.
FX for all of you ladies.

I just got diagnosed with this yesterday. I'm feeling the same as you. And also concerned as it can effect more than just your fertility.

Well, they didn't weigh me (but who needs that stress anyways). I should hopefully get my results on Wednesday. I will post the update when I know more.

I'm sorry this is happening! Hopefully can get it all figured out soon! There's a lot of support in the baby forums I look at.
