Suddenly, I feel sad and lonly...I hate pcos !!!!!

Hi everyone here. Suddenly, I feel very sad and lonely. I do not know where to start...

I was diagnosed with pcos a month ago. I am very eager to have a baby so that I was sent to a specialist straight away, and then started my first attempt treatment. However, by now, I think my first attempt failed. My specialist hasn't told me anything about what to do next...I love children very very much, and most of my friend on my age have alread got the 2nd or even the 3rd children. I admire them can have a complete family. Crying...

I am a migrant here with my husband. After diagnosed, I feel more lonely. When I think I may not have baby, I feel very sad, and nobody I can tell...Luckily, I find this forum, and meet you guys here. I am from adelaide, anybody here is from adelaide as well? Maybe we can communicate by mail or message or whatever to share our feeling, methods of treatment, and etc to set up confidence.

Dear everyone, hope we are all getting well.

Just a quick note to say Welcome coin.

There are lots of other women on here with PCOS, including plenty who have children, so there's no need to feel alone. (I was 'officially' diagnosed last week although I'd been suspecting it myself for a while.)

I'm so sorry things haven't worked for you this cycle. But it's great that you're already seeing a specialist and getting help.

Definitely ask your specialist for a plan, like how long they recommend continuing with one treatment before trying something different. Knowing that there are other options out there helps put some light at the end of the tunnel.

I recommend joining one of the TTC (trying to conceive) buddies groups. You will find plenty of supportive people who understand what you're going through.

Hello Coin!

I know what you mean about the emotions you can get from finding out you have PCOS. On the positive side, it is one of the treatable fertility complaints :)
I was diagnosed with PCOS back in May and advised to start on clomid to get my cycles going, and ovulating. I was the same as you and as soon as i found out i saw a specialist. But I'm only young so I didn’t want to use my last resort yet so i did some research and tried acupuncture. I live in Adelaide too so if you want his details i can give you them. I started having two sessions a week and i went from being 70 days, 60 days and 90 day cycles to 38, 35, 31 etc! AND as a positive i fell pregnant in August. So if you are open to alternative medicine i recommend it highly. It worked for me, and i know it might sound funny but i felt at least i was doing something physically to try and fix it.

Don’t give up hun!!!!

Hi coin, I'm another with PCOS. I had my daughter last year through IVF as I was desperate and rushed straight into assisted fertility, I also have severe endo and only one fallopian tube so I had more reasons to rush into IVF. However this year I started seeing a naturopath and four months later I was pregnant again! Naturally!!

There is a lot of hope! I also second acupuncture, it can be amazing! I can't recommend highly enough natural medicine, even if you want to use it as well as your fertility treatment, it can help with success rates! Good luck.

I'm another PCOS Cyster and just wanted to give you a :hug:

I was very proactive in getting myself as well as i could be in order to fall pregnant. I lost weight and started tracking my cycles as best I could. I fell pregnant with my first son after a 100 day cycle!! But it happened naturally. I'm now pregnant with #2 also naturally.

It will happen, have faith and find support.

:hug:

I'm another with PCOS! While not saying anything against specialists (they're awesome and they have their place), after 4 clomid cycles (failures), I went to a nautropath as I had a cyst too big to do IUI, so thought "get my body right before the next cycle". I got pregnant naturally - since then I've been pregnant 3 cycles out of 4 with the naturopath! It's definitely not the end of the world having a diagnosis, I feel quite empowered actually.

So you can have a family - my specialist said an awesome thing actually "you WILL get pregnant, don't worry about it". I will always be thankful for him for that.

I agree with Black Rose, chart your cycle, my naturopath put me on to fertility friend and I learned so much (even as a registered nurse) about my body, it was awesome. Good luck for your journey here, there are some wonderful women and men to support you through every stage of the journey!

Hi coin,

I can completely relate to all of your emotions. In September I was also diagnosed with PCOS, severe Endo and found out I have one blocked/twisted ovary. So my chances of conceiving naturally are slim to one. At times I too feel alone and lost. Often jealous of others which is a trait I hate. I'm trying to be gentle on myself.

This forum is a great way to talk to other people who are in similar situations and I hope that you can find some comfort and support here.

Really hope your dreams of having children can come true.

For me, I'm currently on Zoladex and will start ICSI in the new year.

Big hugs coin.


Jane :)
