well i had my private appointment tonight and its all bad news!
I went in and he was lovely [he would bloody need to be at £120 for 15 minutes!!!!!!this is the second gynae doc ive seen as my other guys is retiring]. and he took my history etc and he done a pelvic scan, my ovarys were plastered in cysts. He confirmed i have polycystic ovarys. He also told me the results of my last blood test and confirmed im not ov and he also told me i have a very high pro-lactin level
He is starting me on Metformin from the end of next week and will decide wither to put me on clomid aswell in the next fortnight when he knows for sure i didnt ov for three months in a row. He also wants a sperm test done for Gary and he done swabs for infections etc [sorry tmi] but said as i had a baby already i should be fine.
Anyway the long and short of it is i am officially buggered but at least they are doing something about it and im looking forward to starting Metformin as it can also help to lose weight!!! [ a nice side effect!]
I hope you guys dont mind me moving over to you all now, ive been trying for so long and now i know there is a problem i think i should be here, 17 months is long term isnt it??? LOL xxxxx

Hi ya Diane,

Glad you finally got sorted out now. Sorry to be welcoming you over here, as you know I have pcos and have been spending more time in ltttc since I found out back in march.
Its really positive that you have finally started treatment as I know we spoke a long time ago and you suspect pcos.
Good luck xx

Thanks hun, i am glad to finally have an answer and im glad to be starting treatment, its been a long time coming, i think what is worse was the feeling that i need help, stupid isnt it??? i just always thought id be fine but i guess not, glad to be coming over here now too for all the great advice you ladies give! xxxxx

Hi diane and welcome to LTTTC

I totally understand what your saying, i hated thinking that i needed help, i kept thinking why dont i work properly i'm not a proper woman. But sometimes we need help and we have to welcome it, especially after 17months.
Good luck hun xxxxxxxxx

hey Diane sorry to hear your bad news and hope the treatment gets under way and is successful sooner rather than later for you,this ofrum is great as every one here is going through or has gone through a similar experience, very supportive, wishing you lots of luck chick x

thank you all for your lovely replys. I hope it works for me and i get my bfp soon, i also hope you all get your bfps soon too cause i have been lurking in LTTC for a while and "know" a lot of you and its always lovely to see the oldies getting their bfps.
Also another reason why im happy to move over here, i love hearing about bfps in TTC but its so hard when most of them are newbies and i just wished it could be me, another silly notion of mine! LOL x

Welcome Diane, this is a lovely forum, but for all the right reasons I hope you don't have to be on here for very long!

Hi Diane - I started posting on here about 6 weeks ago and these girls are fab. The 'good' thing is that whatever stage of your journey you're at someone is going through / has just gone through the same thing. Hope the Metmorfin does the trick xxx

Hi Diane

You sound like you have really good doctors supporting and helping you.

Hope you have bfp soon

xx

thanks guys, im looking forward to getting to know you all better. x

Welcome Diane

This is a lovely forum and although we are all in the same boat having been trying for a while it is also upbeat and really supportive.

Hope for a BFP for you soon love x

thanks you hun, i am finally hopeful for the first time in over a year so i hope bfp dosnt take too long to come for me and all you lovely ladies here. xxxxx

Hi Diane

Welcome to this lovely forum - in the nicest way I hope you're stay is a short one! I'm sorry to hear the news wasn't good, it's always so hard to hear that your body isn't doing quite what it should be. Really positive to have a diagnosis though and to know it's something they can help with. Although this may seem like a step backwards, it's actually a huge leap forwards towards your BFP because they know what the problem is and can get your treatment started.

Lots of luck to you.

Sorry it wasn't the best news lovey but like you say at least you know what you're dealing with now. I hope the things he suggests do the job and you won't be here long.... meant in the nicest way...!

Good luck hon xx

Hi hun, i know how it feels i OV about once a year if im lucky, but dont write yourself off, it can be treated as you are on medication for it, i know its very hard but try and stay positive, its only thing that keeps me going xx
Good luck xx
