PCOS Messages for June, 2002: Re: New to this

Hi Lisa I guess you could call me a beginner also I've had this for illness for 8 1/2 yrs. but just got diagnosed in Aug. 2001. You need to see an Endocronologist or a Reproductive Endo. So far every dr. I've seen and talked to said that PCOS doesn't afffect your ability to have kids anymore than a woman who doesn't have it. You just need to keep a close watch on your hormone levels so you can get preggie and stay that way. PCOSers have a slightly higher risk of having miscarriages than "normal" women. But then again who really is "normal"? You also have to find a dr you're comfortable w/. I'm in that process right now. On the 10th I saw my Endo. came home and had 6 really thick discharges and then alot of really severe pain. I called my Dr. twice that night, four times the next day, and finally on the 12th his office called and said it was a yeast infection. This wasn't a yeast infection. And right now I'm still in pain. I'm taking 2400mg. Ibuprofen and 2000mg. Lortabs a day to take the edge off enough to go to work. I've got an appt w/ a new dr. for July 2nd. Hoping I can make it until then.

Good Luck and God Bless
