Hi
I have started this thread as I wanted to try and diarise my journey on clomid and to find other out there in a similar situation to me so here goes...
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006 (age 23). I was overweight and at the whim of a very unsympathetic gp! He told me that my scan showed numerous cysts and that I would never naturally conceive a child. At the time we were not TTC I just wanted to understand my body.
In 2009 my boyfriend and I split up. I moved home and set about losing weight for no reason but to be happier with myself. In Oct 09 I weighed 12st 7 and on 6th January I was 10st 3. After a lonely and emotional Christmas we got back together and tried again. Needless to say this involved a lot do make up time and on May 5th 2010 after nearly passing out in the bathroom...I found out I was pregnant. Out little man was born on his due date on New Year's Eve 2010.
So...today? Today I find myself married to the same man and desperately wanting my second child. After my DS I had a copper coil fitted. I lost some baby weight but never went under 11 stone. After my coil was removed I gained more weight and after yoyo dieting now sit at around 11 st 12 which has come down from 12.13 and over the same time my periods have disappeared completely.
My GP has been wonderful and prescribed metformin. After 12 months of trying and demonstrating my dedication to losing weight she completed my bloods and referred me to a specialist gynae. Last Thursday I walked away with a script for clomid and norethisterone.
I am starting my Nora tomorrow for 7 days and will then start clomid on days 1-5 with a blood test on day 28.
I am excited and worried and scared...a lot of emotions. I am not niaive enough to think I will get caught on my first round but I really hope it works so I ovulate and that will ease my worries.
I look forward to finding new friends to share my journey with.
