sh1984 1 Posted August 3, 2012 Hi Everyone! I am new on here and I was really excited to see that there is something on here about PCOS. I was diagnosed with it about 4 1/2 yrs ago and it has been a journey that is very hmmm what should one say lets say interesting. I got married in 2007 and thought that there might me some fertility issues but I wasn't sure, and I wasn't really ready yet for a little one. So we waited a year then started trying. Well I went through all the tests and insurance wouldn't cover hardly anything. So I decided lets start adn try a cycle of the IUI. Well we were blessed on our very first try which is so rare that my doc was very impressed with herself. We were able to have a healthy little girl in Jan of 10. I did have some issues with blood pressure or preeclampsyia but made it to the end. She is now 2 1/2 and on accident we got pregnant again with no help in and had a healthy baby boy in May of this year. I have so many friends that struggle with PCOS and all that goes along with it. I am at 258 lbs and i am 5'7". I am going to be starting my amazing journey on August 14th. I truly believe that I started having all my problems after I did 3 rounds of the Depo shot when i was in my early 20's that for me is when all my problems started. It has been alot of ups and downs with everything. PCOS is xpensive and they really cannot tell you what causes it or what doesn't. It is a very frustating thing that way to many young women have. I just thought that I would share my story and hopefully it will help someone who is experiencing the ups and downs. I am starting this process of my children and for myself. I want to be able to run and play and feel good. I hope that my journey is everything that I am hoping it will be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
