My story...

Hi All,

I have been following this forum for a little while and finally decided that it's time to join.

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 7 years ago. At the time, the endocrinologist put me on Dianne and Aldactone (for the hair). I gave up on the Aldactone after a year because it made me pee too much.
My symptoms at the time were irregular periods, excess hair, acne, a hormone imbalance and ovarian cysts (obviously). I have never had it checked since.
Now I am married, and my husband and I want to start a family. 5 months ago, I stopped taking the pill - which resulted in all the yucky dark hair rearing it's ugly head! Since then I have got my period every month, but my cycle is ranging from 30-35 days. In the last 3 months I have been using 'pee on a stick' ovulation tests. I ovulated the first month, not the 2nd, and ovulated again last month.

Last month was the first time we actively tried to get pregnant, and didn't succeed.

I went to see a gyno last week, he gave me a list of blood tests to have done (I HATE needles), since I havent had the PCOS checked since it was first diagnosed.

I am hoping that the fact that I have ovulated, and that I am of a healthy weight increases my chances of conceiving naturally.

Fingers crossed for everyone!
