No I wasnt put on Met...Last week I was diagnosed with PCOS and don't
see the Gyno until after Christmas. I suspect I have had PCOS for a
very long time but it took a new caring..female doctor to persist with
my diagonises.
On that note that is why I think we were very lucky to conceive.....So
keep your chin up...because it does happen.....How long have u been on
Met? Is the drug all cracked up to be what they say it is?
I can show compassion for u wanting to get Pregant and 4 years is a long
time to be waiting...and waiting...and waiting...But these things happen
for a reason...Not sure when but your turn will come..
Take care
Wendy
