Mrsc huge hugs and a hand to hold. I know you know it isn't always bad news. I also know nothing will shake that thought except a positive scan so huge hugs and hope epu are helpful.
pop another one with tears in my eyes. You loved and carried her, you will always be her mum. Xxxxxxxx
brummie here, have my other hand to hold. It sounds so positive. I really, really hope this is your time. Do you feel different? I think i did with Beth but didn't dare let myself believe it. The symptoms came and went but they were there in the background whereas with my mmcs they had basically faded away to almost nothing.
freckle tbh I find the diagnosis of pcos very confusing. Apparently you can have the cysts without the syndrome and vice versa. Mr Rai said I "probably had polycystic ovaries" when i asked about my long cycle. Then a later scan showed multiple follicles but the sonographer said that was consistent with that point in my cycle anyway. But then at later scans in early pregnancy they said definitely polycystic and it's now written all over my notes. But no one ever said anything at any of my scans to confirm mcs or when pregnant with dd1.
I then developed gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy which is linked as one effect is a resistance to insulin, which is worse if you're carrying extra weight. My bmi was about 27-28 before this pregnancy so I did have weight to lose but Mr Rai shrugged and said my weight wasn't too bad. He didn't prescribe metformin as my fasting glucose levels were fine but even when I had gd my fasting levels were always fine but I had blood sugar spikes after meals so I think metformin or a low gi diet like I had to follow for gd could have helped.
Pcos also messes up your progesterone levels and since no one would prescribe progesterone for me I took agnus castus (with mr rai' s consent) and did notice a difference.
As for other symptoms, the classic ones are irregular periods (though mine are regular, just long cycles), excess body hair (I don't know if I have this - most of me is not very hairy but my bikini line is a bit mad and I have a line if hair on my belly (tmi!). I noticed my leg hair got thinner on the gd diet but that could just have been pregnancy, and acne, which I don't have.
Oh one final one is positive opks at random points in your cycle. I don't generally use opks but I did once get a positive right before AF arrived. Others on this thread have experienced similar though so not sure on that one.
Sorry for essay, it's a bit confusing. There is a ttc with pcos thread on here - might be worth posting over there for a broader perspective.
