Hey im 18 years olds and only just registered to this site. I got giagnosed with pcos about 6 or 7 months ago when i came of the pill to start a family with my partner. I had a regular period straight away but they soon stopped after a couple of months.
I went to see my gp and he said it was normal and things could take up to a year to get back to normal, so i waited and still no period. When i strated to get worried that something was wrong i went back to see my gp and hye told my they needed to carry a few blood test. When my results came back they were all normal, i then had a set of testosterone test and they came back high. He then booked me in to have a scan at my local hospital and that day they reviled that i had Polycystic ovary syndrome. When i left the hospital i didnt know what it ment or what the condition consitsed of and i felt alone and confused. On a later date a returned back to my gp he explaied what the condition was and told me i could never have children, i was 18 and felt like my whole world was ripped apart in the space of 5mins. I was refrered to a gyno at a different hospital who was very helpfull and explained things to my much clearer. On my 1st appointment i was put on 500mg of metformin and i had to increase the dose through 3months. Within the 1st month i had my period and the following months after. I then went back to meet my gyno and he was happy with how thing were going and intoduced me to 50ml of clomid. I have to still carry on with taking 3 metformin tablets aday and If things go well then i am due to start my 1st lot on the 17th of this month. I have to take 5 pills on the 2nd day of my period for the next 3months.
Has any one else on here been giagnosed with pcos around the same age as me and was able to concieve? None of my friends understand what im going through and its so hard for me to be happy for my friends when tell me they have fallen pregnent becuase i wish it was me.
