Hello!!!
Please forgive my novel in advance!
New to GD but I've been a member of another gender swaying forum for quite sometime now. I have PCOS with a significant insulin resistance, this information is new to me I'm still getting used to the new diagnosis as it's not quite been a year since I've recieved this bit of info. Before I was diagnosed with PCOS I had never had regular cycles not since my very first menstrual cycle at the age of 12, I also never suffered from cysts although I have a sister that randomly does. I was always told it's just how my body works :rolleyes: I have two little ones a DS(10) and DD(8) and they were both conceived by pure luck, didn't have a cycle with either for 3-6 months before getting my bfps. I started late 2015 trying to get my body back in order to ttc after researching and confirming it is absolutely not normal to go a year plus without menstruating and tried with no luck initially to find a physician that would take me seriously! It took me until April of 2016 to find someone and thankfully she hit the ground running!! It was established that I had an estrogen dominance, elevated prolactin levels, and a tiny tumor on my pituitary gland due to the prolactinemia. Imagine my horror at the mention of a tumor, graciously they are never cancerous and I could sleep finally at night :bighug: So of course I start my regimen of medication progesterone, bromocriptine, etc. and I feel confident that the sun is beginning to peak out from behind the clouds, until things still aren't quite right...:sad::sigh: I'll cut out all the in between since my post is bordering on an essay and sum it up. I've had two CPs, horrible random long cycles, 10 failed attempts (all swaying for a boy), two rounds of clomid (one ending in cp), a drastically thinned out lining, and it all ended with a trip to an RE and a PCOS diagnosis.
So here I am in 2017 still not pregnant, taking metformin, and experimenting (while still attempting to sway) with as many supps as I can handle!! My real question is...
How likely is it that I can successfully sway blue while dealing with the difficulties of PCOS??
I'm trying to stay hopeful but of course it gets harder and harder with each passing month.
I currently am doing the HE diet while hoping to not blow up as it's not beneficial to my health, taking EPO, Fish Oils, Red Raspberry Leaf, Vit E, Myo-Inisotols, Folate, and a Multi Vitamin along with my prescribed meds. I think that's it. I'm sure I've missed some things but my brain is mush at the moment :think::hair:
Any feedback you can offer is greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to being a member of this community as I keep getting conflicting information from different sources on what works and I'd love to only have one place to go for all my GS TTC questions!!
Please forgive my novel in advance!
