Ruthie & Tocarra - I wish I could give you both these in person. Please remember I am thinking of you at this time.

Abbey - sometimes just that diagnosis helps so much. I know when I was finally diagnosed, it answered lots of questions for me. PCOS isn't fun and games, and it is possible to fall pg, just makes it a little bit harder. My gyno diagnosed me after my gp told me that I was just overweight and needed to lose some weight. (I've never seen that GP since - went to another one who referred me to the gyno - the gyno diagnosed me by taking one look at me and then sending me for tests to confirm). I found a low GI diet and lots of exercise helped me to lose weight (I did lots of walking). I've started walking again which I hadn't for a few months to try and knock off a few more kilos and hopefully fall pg again. My gyno also put me straight on metformin and i've tried clomid and tamoxifen to help with ovulation (although I do O by myself).

Jen - thanks for that. Dad was diagnosed with cardiomyothopy (i think that's how it's spelt) when I was sixteen, he was given only a few years to live, so he's done great. He also has early dementia but he and mum are still living at home (they're 80 and 78) with very little outside help.



I think it's time to sprinkle some more around.
