PCOS has changed everything about my life

September 29, 2007

I am 23 years old.

I had never even heard about polycystic ovarian syndrome until the day I was told I had it.

All I can remember is crying because all I've ever wanted to be was a mommy! I am blessed with a daughter already but I was an only child and i've always known that I wanted my first child to have a sibling.

I waiting for almost 2 years to start trying after I had my daughter... I suppose I was afraid of what might or might not happen and I suppose... I still am.

We have been trying for about 3 months and I know that's not long but considering I was pregnant with my daughter in about 2 weeks it is a long time.

I let myself get frustrated and upset on a regular basis and I know it wont help my situation.

On November 20th I will be visting a fertility specialist for the first time, i've never been so scared and so excited about something in my life!

Until I was diagnosed with PCOS, I took motherhood and pregnancy for granted a lot! but now I cherish every moment with my daughter good or bad, happy or sad... even when she screams until I can't hear myself think sometimes I just smile and think about how lucky I am that I have a child.

My body craves another child and so does my heart but I know in my soul if I were never to have another baby I would still consider myself the luckiest women alive.

Hey hunni it does not mean u cannot ever have another! Be optamistic I have PCOS too and I just had my surgery last week and I am about to start a pill called clomid to help me ovulate and then every thing begins!!! I do realize it may not happen but if it does not then I know it was not God's will for me to have another but I too have a girl shes 8 and I have never gotten pregnant ever since! Keep ur head up!

Hi, Katie......just seen your "story" while reading another one...clicked it and wanted to ask how ttc is going for you? I wish you the BEST with it!!

Having PCOS sucks. I agree. I've been diagnosed since I was 22...I'm 41 now and we got our daughter (she'll be 2 in Jan) after an ovarian drilling. I had a surprise pregnancy in May but ended early in June this year and another m/c in Oct. at 8 weeks, after taking 100mg Clomid.

Deep in my heart, I'd LOVE another...would

love a sibling for our daughter but it makes me nervous to m/c again. So, for now we are just lying low and I agree with your feeling of "should feel totally blessed and lucky" but that DESIRE is so strong.

I wish you happiness!!!!!!!!
