Unfortunately I have PCOS & was diagnosed with this at 18, I'm now 28. I have always struggled with it & especially with my weight. My periods had never been regular and at my heaviest I went for a long time without a period at all. I went to see a fertility doctor & he advised that I needed to lose at least 6 stone before he would see me or even think about treating me. I was devastated, but I put it to the back of my mind for as long as I could. It was then seeing the pictures of my engagement that made me realise why the doctor  had said what he had said! I was HUGE! I weighed 23.7stone & I didn't even realise I'd got so Big! So I made the decision to have a gastric band! Within a few weeks I'd flown to Belgium and had it done privately! It was the best thing I ever did, it's been a year and 2 months and I have lost 7.5 stone! I feel great in myself & my cycles have returned - they are not dead on 28 days but they are between 28-30days now! My husband and I have been trying on and off for 3 years but since we moved into our first home together and then getting married we have really been trying. Today my period has come again and I'm devastated! Been crying all morning! Just feeling like I have done all this & yeah I might feel healthier and I felt amazing on my wedding day but the ultimate goal was a baby & it's still not happening. I don't really know what response I'm looking for but I just needed to get it all off of my chest & maybe see if anyone out there is maybe in the same situation as I am?! Lucy x
