Why me?? The frustration is unbearable...From: A (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 16 Oct 2000 19:05:26 -0400
Ladies.... Here we go again. After months of waiting for lab results (had labs done in May/July and again the 1st week of Oct) my 6th RE has said she "feels" that PCOS in NOT the underlying cause of my problems. The last time (from May-July) my insulin had gone from 12.9 to 16.9 and she had said if these labs showed insulin higher than 18 she would prescribe Met...well, God only knows how this has happened, but this time, my levels was at 9...WHAT??? How can that be? Also, she did notice that my testosterone went from 560 to 789. So, anyway, she goes on to tell me that she would liek to start me back on bcp because that's the only way to control my "problem" which, please remember, is not PCOS....like she says. She also said that I wouldn't have to worry about the issue until I was ready to get pregnant....ahhh...hello....something is screwy in my body and I shouldn't be concerned because I'm not ready to have children!!??? Oh yeah, and that when I am ready, I'll definately have to go the "fertility drug route." I had stopped bcp back in March to see if I could get a period on my own. To date, NOTHING. No period. Zilcho!!! The weight still comes off slowly (with low to no carbs) but now I'm praying it doesn't start creeping back on by going back on bcp. God, do I hate this!! The hair is still on my face...light, but enough for ME to notice. Bald sort on my head filling in just a bit. Boils still every so often. Migraines still. As most of you know...the same old routine... So, what does a girl do? DId I mention this was my 6th RE foir this problem?? I thought I was going to strike gold this time...I mean...I've been traveling well over an hour each visit to an "a#1" hospital...and this??!! Can there really be another reason for my "problems" if it is not PCOS? What else can it be? Do I find yet another RE to go over the same old things???!!! I feel like I'm back at square 1....like I was 6 years ago. Ladies, I'm so sorry I'm ranting and raving. And, thanks if you've made it through this far. I guess I'm just looking for some kind of "opinions" as to where I go from here. Thanks Again to all of you...you are my support !!!! :-) alexis
