Birth control worries and confusionFrom: Angel (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 16 Apr 2002 16:32:41 -0500 (CDT)
Dear Doctors and others. I am a 35 year old female who has had PCOS, since I was about 13. For the last year, I have been dealing with a chronically painful disease called Fibromyalgia. I also have a blood condition that can cause blood clotting and miscarriage - don't remember the name. Anyway, recently I went into my gynocologist, who is an infertility specialist, to be fitted for a diaphram. I have been told my numerous doctors, not to get pregnant, with Fibromyalgia. This alone, has been hard enough to deal with. Anyway, the diaphram didn't work out, as I could not insert it and in trying to do so, it was very painful. My vaginal canal is on the small side. I can't even wear tampons. Because of my blood condition, I cannot go on the pill. The only options left are condoms and spermicide, used in conjuction with "pull-out" (my doctor's recommendations). My Fibromyalgia doctor tells me that female Fibromyalgia patients are often infertile. My gynocologist tells me that because I have PCOS, my chances of getting pregnant are almost non-existant. Perhaps I should mention that I did a stint of Glucophage for about a year. My ending does was 1000 mg., 2x a day. I had to go off of it, because I was starting to get sick and had elevated liver panels. So, here's my question. Between the Fibromyalgia and the PCOS, what are my chances of getting pregnant? If I use the condoms, spermicide and pull out technique, does this seem like enough protection to you? It's hard enough as it is, to know that I may never have a child, but dealing with increased pain and illness from a pregnancy, I cannot deal with right now. Please advise. Thanks.
-- Angel
