bittersweet: finally got a PCOS diagnosis

Ma

so I'm having a monitored cycle right now to investigate my irregular periods. my CD3 bloodwork came back with high insulin and A1C and my doctor is pretty confident i have PCOS. she recommended i add metformin in with the inositol i was already taking. (success stories on metformin would be so welcome! ofc i'll also do a search for them)

.

the good:

- i know what's wrong and have treatment options

- the satisfaction that i was right about PCOS when my gyno blew me off 2 years ago

- had my tubes checked with FemVue (similar to HSG) and that's all clear

- husband's semen analysis is largely normal

.

the bad:

- my lizard brain thinks not conceiving yet is all my fault

- having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that there's no cure, just management

- dude that FemVue HURT i almost cried 😅

.

baby dust to all and warm wishes to those with PCOS and other conditions affecting fertility 💖
