PCO DiagnosisFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 17 Jun 2001 11:37:39 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, When I was in my teens, I had a very bad case of hirsutism, and before I could have a period of my own, I was put on bcp. I have been on bcp for about 8 years now, and it has helped my hirsutism a bit but not terribly. I was told two years ago that I have PCOs, but no one really explained it very well to me. I have been trying to read about it, and am finding out that it usually means that I can't conceive since I do not ovulate. When asking my doctors about it (I've been to ob/gyns and reproductive endocrinologists) they always said that it will be very easy to become pregnant through hormone therapy. As an experiment to myself, I stopped taking the pill for 8 months now, and have had two periods. That have hurt a lot, specially the time before it, I would have about a month of very painful intercourse. When I went to my doctor recently, he told me that my hormone levels look fine, but showed me my ovaries on a sonogram, and they look like crochet work, which indicates that I do have PCO's right? I am very confused about this, but am going to go back on the pill because my hair situation is getting worse and they seemed to help. I am glad to know that there probably is a reason for my moodiness and other symptoms(weight wise, I am doing fine),but I am going bald, and my body hair is getting worse, and I would love to know if the PCO diagnosis is as hard to understand for other people as well? And what makes one decide to take glucophage (I just heard of it). And how difficult is it to become pregnant? Thanks
