Hey Purpley,

I hope you don't mind me posting in your thread, I just wanted to share with you my experience.

I didn't AF for around 6 months after stopping the pill and due to mainly my weight gain and inability to lose it no matter what I did gave me the motivation to get checked out (I wasn't TTCing, but I wasn't trying not to get pregnant either, I knew I wasn't ovulating so I didn't bother with contraception). The GP I went to ordered hormone blood tests which shocked me when he said they came back normal!! I *knew* something wasn't right, especially the weight gain issue, and other things that were going on, and no sign of AF.

So, I said to him, I think it might be endo come back again, can you please give me a referral to a gynae and order a scan before I went, to which he obliged.

He then printed out the referral, along with my blood tests and said take that.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I looked at my BT results.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I could see the bits clearly in RED indicating abnormal levels. My progesterone was menopausal (I was 26), I had very high testosterone, well above the limits as shown on the test, another sex hormone was very elevated, almost double the maximum limit (androgen I think?).

These bits were on the last page of 7 pages, all I could see was that he must have not read that last page and skimmed it.

So I took them along to another GP, as well as the u/s I had done that week as well, all indicated 'advanced PCOS'. My ovaries just looked like craters! The GP said he hadn't seen such bad hormone levels in someone my age, put me on Metformin and I also went back on the pill to help with hormones. Within 3 months, I had lost 15kg (trying very hard mind you) and feeling alot better. I went off the pill for 2 weeks to help with migraines I was suffering and conceived in that time, despite not even BDing whilst I was off it (just did 2 days before I stopped the pill). GP made me take a pregnancy BT before I went back on the pill 'just in case', I nearly didn't take it because I didn't BD....but you can imagine my shock when I did!!! A very happy surprise though. THis happened with me despite having extensive endo as well.

So that's my story of my 'normal' blood test results.

Second opinion is in order that's for sure, like others said, don't take 'nothing is wrong' for an answer. You and your body knows best.

Good luck hun
