OT DS cured me? ;-)
*g* I have PCOS. DS was likely my only prior ovulation (and I have the
ultrasound to prove I had a follicle (like DS wasn't enough), but since his birthday, I have had regular cycles, and suspected I was ovulating....this "cycle" was weird, but I decided to chart (haphazardly). tomorrow I'm going for a 7dpo progesterone level, just to see if I'm right and I HAVE been O'ing regularly.......pretty exciting, though frankly a useless "party trick" atm. I hope it means that the pregnancy with DS re-booted my system...... NYJen et al here with PCOS, espcially thin PCOSers....anyone find the same (well, obviously Ms Jen-full-of-Lily....*you* did ;-) Dawn |

But I AM on the Metformin which I believe has helped me tremendously as well. I was told by a reproductive endo. that having a baby puts PCOS into "remission" for about a 2 year period after giving birth. Not sure if that's actually studied or documented anywhere. I also have found that having a baby seems to *fix* all kinds of infertility. As I've mentioned in the past, I was part of a 5 woman infertility support group. All 5 of us had our first babies within 6 months of each other - with many various medical interventions...and now all 5 of us are on our second babies with NO treatment at all. It wasn't a PCOS group, just random infertility and only 1 other has PCOS (and she's a VERY thin woman). |

This is why I'm now using contraceptives after 17 yrs of TTC - twins is
enough! Ellie "Dawn Lawson" wrote in message news:aC7Wb.451731$JQ1.292306@pd7tw1no... *g* I have PCOS.

I thought you were single(You could use a donor)? Why go to the trouble/expense of tests? Just curious. Andrea (feelin' nosey today) |

I'm trying to decide what I want to do about the PCOS. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I do nothing, I will just sort of gradually grind to a halt, and be back to square one. but I'm also not sure I want to do ANYthing if I am atm "functioning normally" If it ain't broke, and all, but it's been "broke" for so long, that I'm also not at all sure I trust that it will continue. still, the 7dpo should tell a bit more. Dawn, wisely single and seeking endocrinological Zen ;-) |

I mean I only have the information you have posted previously right here on the NG (google can confirm this). I was wondering about the test, as here they wouldn't do such tests on a single woman. My sister and her DH have had to go to hell and back to get fertility tests rolling. Yes a normal functioning body is a good thing, but infertility wouldn't do any harm if you wern't trying for a baby. g Just showing a little interest like you do ;o) Andrea. |

I mean I only have the information you have posted previously right here on the NG (google can confirm this). Where do you find that I am wanting to have another baby on google???? I was wondering about the test, as here they wouldn't do such tests on a single woman. My sister and her DH have had to go to hell and back to get fertility tests rolling. Well, lets see. PCOS is NOT a fertility issue. That aside, singlehood isn't any kind of indicator of reproductive status, and I'm SURE there are women "there" who are having babies alone using donor sperm, etc who therefore MUST be getting tested. i'm willing to bet that PCOS women seeking non-reproductive treatment are getting "those tests" there, too. "hell and back" seems to be your family's experience with the medical system, but sometimes it just takes finding the right person/clinic to help when you need it. I didn't throw my hands up at the first indication of difficulty or I wouldn't have DS. Yes a normal functioning body is a good thing, but infertility wouldn't do any harm if you wern't trying for a baby. SO SO wrong! I have PCOS. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It's not just about infertility. And it can be deadly if I stick my head in the sand and pretend like it doesn't matter. g Just showing a little interest like you do ;o) Well, go google PCOS. Dawn |

"New York Jen" skrev i en meddelelse news and only 1 other has PCOS (and she's a VERY thin woman). Puleeze (again) Tell this dumb Dane - what is PCOS? Tine, Denmark p.s. I accidently got pregnant at the age of 43! And DS is made with help as well. I now have a IUD as I feel I'm to old for childbearing (45). |
