I can relate to this - for more days than I'd like!!

It can be such an effort to come into work and it makes the tiredness worse when you're sat at a computer for most of the day - I struggle to keep my eyes open.

I can relate to the moods as well - I got married 3 years ago and am happily married but there are days when I just feel completely negative with the world and my life. I even went to a Hypnotist to deal with this. Life is actually on the up - my husband has a good job, we're moving to our dream house and yet there are days that I can't get excited about anything and others where I find it hard to contain my excitement - I'm like a little girl (I wish I could bottle these days).

I saw my GP yesterday (I went along to explain that I've been feeling tired, moody, depressed etc... hoping that he would pick up on the IR. Does anybody else feel scared about going in and telling your GP what you've found out about PCOS - I almost feel guilty knowing more than he does?) He did send me to have blood tests for my sugar and when I broke down in his office he completely panicked and suggested that I arrange another appointment with my Gyni.

I had also arranged to see a family planning GP yesterday after my first appointment with my own GP on the pretense that I was trying for a baby and that I was scared of miscarriage. She was lovely and during the consultation we were joined by a GP from the local hospital who was just fantastic. They sat with me and went through all the procedures and treatments that I could have (ie: Clomid, drilling etc...). They simply gave me peace of mind - that it's not impossible to become a mother but will require some hardwork. I need to lose about 40lbs (I've already lost 30lb) and will be going back to see the FP GP's at the end of May - they sent me for LH, FSH and another (can't remember the name) and the results take about 3 weeks - I'm back low-carbing (I have to stick to this as I know it works for me) and hope to be able to walk in at the end of May and have lost at least 15lbs. I've even ordered an exerice bike. I'm feeling positive even though still not been prescribed Met (I tried but my GP just said that it won't help the diet - not what this board says!). I'm contemplating booking an appointment with my Gyni to see what he thinks about Met - what do you think?

I'm sure there are more ladies out there who experience the moods and the depression and I am completely convinced it is hormonal. I said as much to my GP yesterday when I was in tears in his office!!!

Take Care Hannah
