Re: Trying to Conceive (The highs and lows)
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 years old and experienced irregular periods, very long cycles and when I would start my period it would not want to stop!! I was told by the doctors that I would have trouble conceiving and maybe more prone to miscarriages but told not to worry about it right now. They popped me on BCP too regulate my cycles, which did help but obviously does not cure. Well, fast forward 13 to 14 years, I got married in March 2011, hubby knew about my problems and still wanted to wait before trying. So we used other methods besides BCP to stop me falling pregnant. Three months in, we reviewed my situation again as hubby and wife and decided we should try incase mother nature is not on our side. We have struggled ever since. Periods are non existent, when they pop up they stay for ages. Questioning me avtually ever even ovulating!! We have been to docs but they are delaying things as much as possible I believe!!
I have had an internal and over the tummy ultrasound, which both have indicated PCOS ( I already know duh! - nothing new there). Hubby has had his sperm analysis done, and everything is normal shukar alhumdollilah. Now we are going to PUSH the docs to forward us on to a fertility specialist to try out clomid and other fertility methods. Hopefully they won’t long this process out otherwise we will opt for private healthcare.
Please do remember me in your Duas. As much as I have always been prepared for the struggle that was to come with infertility, I don’t think I had anticipated how much pain, emotional trauma and pressure it can actually give to a person both mentally and physically! Luckily husband is very supportive. That’s all you need. Your husband/partners sahara, and with the grace of god I believe anything is possible! Lots of love and baby dust to my fellow pcos strugglers - hang in there - this roller coaster has to stop at some point right!? X
