I believe I was 21ish when I was diagnosed with PCOS, the doctor told me that it was pretty severe case. She told me that I would be okay but that my chance of conceiving with out assitance was low. That is about all they told me, they put me on a low dose birth control and sent me on my way.

Enter the tender age of 23 I had major problems with PCOS and had to go under the knife for a Laparoscopy and they drained a ton of fluid in both egg sacks, and I wanted to cry. About three months later though I ended up pregnant with my first. I found out through the doctor's office because I was cramping so bad, thought I had an infection. It was than thought it was Etopic. They did an ultrasound and the baby was fine. Needless to say the first trimester I was a wreck but eight months later (he came early) there was a healthy baby boy. Who is now going to be seven years old.

Now at 31 I remarried and have another positive pregnancy test. The fears of this one not going as well are high, needless to say. They did the test, they did an US and found that there was the "bed" for the baby but no baby yet, they said it just might be way too early. So I am trusting them. I am worried though and I think, all people with PCOS can understand those fears. I feel like I can not celebrate yet. Not sure when I can. I told my family and in laws but explained the risks. I think it is fair that they know.

Anyway, my son is excited but I have already explained to him that sometimes babies don't get to come home with us and God calls them to him early. Maybe there is another family waiting for a little one.

My son is a sweetheart and very emotional, I didn't want to have to tell him but he had to come with me to the ultrasound and it wasn't fair to have him come and not know what they are doing to his mother. He and I are very close.

Celeste , to the PREGGO With PCOS sub. and CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP. Sometimes we want something or someone so bad that we think its to good to be true. Good luck and I hope you have a happy healthy nine months. When is your next appt?Feel free to add your info to the due date list and I will add you ... we need lots of preggo cysters! BTW... your BFP looks great!!!!!!! Nice and bright and very much there.

I went in for an U/S with no baby showing, so I had blood work on Friday for hCG level, then will have blood work, Monday, Wednesday and then Friday another ultrasound.

I like my new doctor, he really understands the risks and is treating me as a priority and really caring how I am doing. He knows this is an emotional journey, especially for anyone who has PCOS and the risks we have. We don't plan to get pregnant with out meds and with out meds our risks are so much higher.

Good Luck with your blood work. I hope everything shows improvement. I went through all this with my DD. She is happy and healthy and also DS, who had low numbers but he has proven a fighter and is still here. I hope the best for you. Stay positive!

I pray this works out for you, I know how you feel. The first u/s and even the others I was so nervous that they would say the baby was there or something that I could never sleep. Thank God with lots of prayers and dust coming our way I am carrying a very strong and spunky lil girl. Best wishes to you and your family!

It is Sunday and I am getting anxious for my blood work tomorrow. My cramping has eased up and I am hoping that this is a good sign that the baby is positioned correctly. I can't really worry about pains in my ovaries because I had cysts in the right one.

Will call my Doctor on Tuesday to ask about the blood work.

Last night all night I had baby dreams.

[Celeste1576]

Diamond, thanks for the words of encouragement. I am glad someone else is in the same situation as I am.

I feel like so much of PCOS does control me because none of my doctor's act like it is a big deal and any hormones they have given me has landed me in the hospital for migraines. Can't win can I.

Yah for a January 5th Birthday, that is my birthday so there is a kinship to that date. I often wonder if others born on January fifth are as stubborn as I am. :-) Not to mention a fabulous princess. ha ha

Thank you again. I can see this board is going to be a good place for support.
