Polycystic Ovaries?

Question

I'm just curious if anyone wants to share about their experiences with PCO? I've recently been diagnosed, & basically told there's nothing to worry about/nothing to do about it, & to me, that just feels off somehow. I have cysts in my ovaries! Lol. It's a little disconcerting... & it does cause me mild to severe pain from time to time. Not sure what to think about it/do about it, & general googling of PCO scares the crap out of me. So I figured asking other women about their experiences might help shed some light on this issue. Thanks!

Answer

I am 30 and TTC for 9 months with no success. I have endometriosis and I just got diagnosed with PCOS. I was put on Clomid to help me ovulate because with the pcos I wasn't ovulating. 
This is my first cycle on Clomid and on day 15 I got my first ever positive OPK so fingers crossed for this month

Answer

I have PCOS. Do you have regular periods? I would sometimes go many months and one time even a year without a period. I got put on metformin and got pregnant within 6 months. My daughter is now 4. I was pregnant earlier this year but ended up being an ectopic and ruptured. This is our second cycle trying again

Answer

I was just diagnosed with pcos in September. I'm 35 but had been on bcp since I was 18. Prior to getting on bcp, my AF was irregular (about every 6 months). I got off of bcp May of this year because we wanted to ttc. When I didn't get AF for a few months, my doctor had me tested for pcos, and that's when I was diagnosed. I wish I would've known sooner that I have pcos because then I would've started ttc years ago. I'm currently taking provera so that I can get my period and then I'll be taking meds that will help me ovulate. It's not clomid that I will be taking. It's something similar (can't remember the name right now). This will be my first round. I hope I am able to conceive! Baby dust to all of us! ✨✨

Answer

Thank you all for responding! My Gyno found this out when I went in for my Tubal Ligation... The main thing for me is that he made a distinction between PCO & PCOS - I will have to see an endocrinologist in January, as that's when I need to reevaluate my hypothyroid treatment. Y'all have made me helped me with your comments. Thank you!!!

Answer

I have PCOS and I had very irregular periods. I could go months without one. I was put on metformin and clomid we are TTC #1. I am 35 and was diagnosed last year. I had symptoms since I was 20. Noone picked up on it. Yes you should be concerned, and yes there is helpout there. It is an endocrine disorder. See an endocrinologist as soon as you can. It cannot be cured but the symptoms can be helped. Good luck to you!

Answer

I have had pcos symptoms for as long as I can remember my family always just said it was normal but when my husband and I decided to start trying we wanted to find out why I only had a period twice a year. When I first found out I was scared that I wouldn't be able to ever conceive and even if I did that I wouldn't be able to carry the child to term. Now I'm more confident I have educated myself on pcos and in some cases I know more than my doctor lol. I know it's scary but it'll be ok. I strongly suggest going pcosdiva.com she has some great advice on how to alleviate some of your symptoms. Honestly there is no cure and it's going to be hard but I've found some lifestyle changes have helped immensely such as switching to a diet designed for pcos and getting more active. I did try medication to help with trying to convince but it made me sick so now I'm looking into alternatives since the next step in meds is one I feel uncomfortable with

Answer

I'm 19 and was diagnosed when I was 16 that I had pcos. I had the most painful periods. I didn't have a period but every 4-6 months. I sometimes went longer than that. I was put on birth control, then I wanted to stop because of weight gain. They put me on metformin and that did nothing. Now every three months I have to take provera once a day for ten days and my period comes a few days later. I'm afraid it will affect me getting pregnant.
