Desperate for a hand hold...

[susso]

Hi everyone,

Just as the title says really. Had a scan of my ovaries today regarding unexplained lack of periods and pain etc... and nurse explained she is almost certain I have PCOS (only not 100% because obviously it needs to be diagnosed with a blood test and stuff etc...).

We've been trying for a while now so I knew something was wrong but I just had no idea it would be as soul crushing finding out. I've literally spent the whole day crying to my partner and mum and have already snapped at DP more than too many times. He already has 2 children so we wouldn't even get any help.. and I know absolutely none of this is anyone's fault but I guess I just wanted to take the blame off myself 😞 I also know it isn't right to be angry about not receiving help because of his existing children. I'm just overwhelmed with emotions..

Back to the GP it is now, but I am just absolutely gutted.
If anyone knows of any success story's or just a bit of positive advice, honestly it would mean the world.

Thank you xx

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. Just wanted to share a success story...my sister was diagnosed a few years ago. She tried for about a year to conceive, and eventually gave up and booked her wedding date instead. Within a few months she was pregnant and my niece is now 2. I think when she relaxed and stopped ‘trying’ it just happened. She postponed her wedding and instead had her daughter as her flower girl. I know it’s easy to say but think positive. I’ve seen lots of stories on here of people with PCOS who go on to conceive naturally

@Mummytoboyxx thank you so much for sharing your sisters story. Definitely the type of thing I needed to hear today. I'm glad your sister got her happy ending 😊 yeah I think we'll just take it easy and stop 'trying' from now on, hopefully we'll have the same luck. Xxx

@susso wishing you all the best. Fingers crossed for your happy ending xx

Just wanted to say my bf was diagnosed with PCOS some years ago and now....she has two beautiful sons. Stay positive xxxx

Thank you so much @Mummytoboyxx

@MushroomMushroom ahh so refreshing to hear 😘 thank you for sharing another positive story, hopefully just like your friend it will all work out for me xxx

I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 and told I’d never have children without “help”.

I currently have a 3 year old wriggling on my lap who was concieved without any help other than charting and OPKs.

Please don’t lose hope, there’s great websites out there with lots of advice. GPs aren’t always great at helping to find treatments that work so it doesn’t hurt to have read a bit about the options. I’m for example, every GP has tried to put me on hormonal contraception to treat it and I’ve had to specifically request other types of medication/treatment

@stroan oh how lovely. Thanks so much for sharing. Really has made me feel like it's not the be all and end all. Yeah I've been reading on it and will carry on doing so, so I'm clued up at my dr's appointment!
Thank you again xxx
