So this may be a long one!!
always had regular periods, however as a late teen always suffered with thick dark hair on my neck and chin. Bloods showed higher hormone and that’s all that was said- doctor gave me all sorts of creams etc to stop hair growth etc but after years and years of battling I was finally given laser on the nhs as they agreed my hair met the criteria! I am due to start laser soon.
I then discovered most of the women in my family all menopaused early (all had kids conceived naturally before this) I was nervous as I wasn’t ready to have a baby and felt like I was on a ticking time bomb! Was referred to fertility clinic and was scanned etc, everything was good apart from low follicle count :( however the doctor said natural conception was still possible!
about 1.5 later we decided to start trying and within 12 weeks I was pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl!! we are ofc over the moon.
i did suffer PND but it went away in time and I feel good again apart from when my period is due and the symptoms are getting worse! My mood swings are awful, I cry at the slightest thing and then as soon as I start my period I’m back to my bubbly self. Doctor today suggested things like pms/pmdd and said anti depressants and contraceptive pills are usually the route they would take (my body does not agree with them and I just don’t want to go down that route again) So we have taken bloods to check everything over, will get results soon.
Im also nervous about PCOS as why do I have this hair growth?! I thought that was the main cause! I mentioned it to fertility clinic previously and they said no! I also do have oily skin and hair loss! The doc said today the scan would have picked up anything else such as cysts on my ovaries.
I don’t know what to do anymore?! I’m scared about when we try for another baby but I know I’m blessed to have my girl and that’s all that matters deep down.
anyone else suffer badly before period? And suffer hair growth without PCOS?!
thank you x
