My daughter who is 12 this month and I both have PCOS. She is on metformin and low dose bc. Also, she has a low Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) which is making her testosterone higher than it should....I have been through so much with ttc that I didn't want her to do the same when older. I have her doctor's monitoring her and doing everything we can to help her get her body/hormones working as they should. I told her if she wants to harvest and freeze eggs when 18 I will help her because I don't know what the future looks like for her if she wants to have kids. But being a kid she just looked at me and said "Ewwww...no way, not having any kids. That all sounds very painful. No. No thank you". Funny thing is I said the same thing when I was her age.
No matter what you face you are your own best advocate. @Suggerhoney I've seen you and other ttcers overcome so much. I love signing on here and seeing everyone keep trying.
Hi love thank you for that lovely post. I’m not gonna lie this miscarriage made me not want to try anymore but I thought of all the ladies on here that have been trying for years and how inspiring they all are. So I told me myself we have to keep trying. I won’t give up. Us women sure do have to go through it don’t we.
They say men are the Strongest sex but I think it’s women, we endure so much but keep on. Carrying on.
Imagine a man having period pains they probably would think they’d were dying lol.
How are you love?
It's just horrible that most of us have PCOS, I have never heard about it until I was diagnosed with it. I guess it's more common than I realize. I just thought something was wrong with my body....but you ladies prove that I can have a baby and that really is very positive. DH doesn't understand, you know men! They aren't "sympathetic/emotional" at all...my last AF was May 4th, I really just want my next AF to start; I get that crampy feeling with backache and everything; nothing comes. I have taken tests and all came out negative. Who knows at this point anymore.!!
I still don't know what I want to do as far as trying this month, or just letting things happen this month as our due date would be the end of March, beginning of April depending on when my cycle comes. Kind of an interesting story, but DH and I plan to work oversees next March at an orphanage. And there is a lady who has reached out to us, and wants us to adopt this one baby...Mom has stage 4 cancer, so who knows how long she will live; anyways the baby is due the middle of March, which means we couldn't bring the baby physically home until about April/May.....we are all for reaching out and helping others, but I really would like to have my own children, DH is all for either way his words are "he doesn't care, he's happy either way", so that leaves me to make that ultimate decision (blah!). I hate breaking people's hearts but it may just get to the point to where I tell DH lets not work at the orphanage, let's not adopt, and let's just try to have our children. I couldn't imagine just stopping my life and not following my heart
so sorry you have pcos love. Im glad ure here because so many of the ladies have that too.
And soooo many have had babies and some have had alot of babies.
I really believe in my heart you will also have ure babies. I’m sure if you speak to DH he will understand.
it’s so sad about that poor lady having terminal cancer I was crying reading your post. Was such a emotional read.
Hey all. New here

Good luck for testing. What a great day to test to American Independence Day.

I'll probably be testing around the 20th if I ovulated cd18 like I have the past few months. This will probably be my last cycle trying for a few months because we're hopefully going on holiday next may/june time and I want to make sure I can travel.
