PCOS-MEDICATION Messages for July, 2003: Re: What should I ask/say at pre-conception appointment?

Hi Amy

I am in the same boat as yourself, I am 21 and both me and my partner want a baby i know that you are probably thinkin that i am too young but i dont think that i am. I mean i have been with my partner for over 5 years and am settled down with a bought house and both of us have good jobs, I know a lot of people that are older than me and havent achived as much as i have in the past few years. I was told on January 6th 2003 at 5:20pm that i had POCS which my doctor was suprised at i was then put on birth control pills for 3 months then off them until today i mean i dont have a clue what to ask either but if you get any joy in the e-mail that you sent then please send me some information. I have to go for an ultrasound but i dont know when i am really scared all my family have given all the support that they can but i kn ow that the only thing that i have ever wanted may never happen. If your doctor refuses to refer you for an ultrasound then ask to talk to the head of the clinic that you attend and thenyou might get some joy. Well good luck at the appointment and hope to hear from you soon.
