Hi Paula,
I don't have endo but had all the troubles conceiving before my pcos
diagnosis last year. The first pregnancy was almost 8 yrs ago, taking
clomid. The second pregnancy was almost 3 yrs ago, I didn't take clomid
because the prior year before that, it didn't work. Sooo, I became
pregnant without having a period for about 6 months, slipping in
ovulation and nailing right on! lol
I kept going to my primary dr with "flu" symptoms and this dear, sweet
on call dr, discussed pcos with me because of all the typical
symptoms... infertility, balding, weight problem, lack of periods, etc.
etc. After the third visit to him, we decided to do a pregnancy test
because the one I took at home in the beginning of all this was
negative. I barely made it home after that appt and he called me to
tell me that in fact I was pregnant!! I had all the classic pregnancy
symptoms, horrible breast pain, stomach pain/nausea, but didn't think
anything of it because I was pretty much told the year before not to
count on getting pregnant(before pcos diagnosis. I know how difficult
it is to get referrals, but you might want to at least give your primary
dr a try, to get a referral...or get a home pregnancy test just to rule
that out, or just go to the dr so your insurance will pay for the
test(we know how $$ those home tests are!) I know how heart wrenching
the results can be, but don't forget your health and that you need to
make sure that nothing more serious is going on. Take care of
yourself!!
