Hello so im 20, 21 in january.

After being off contraception for a year and trying for a baby for 9 months when i wasnt concieving and my periods where getting all weird i decided to go see the doctors. 

First thing she ruled out was chlamydia, then she thought it might be polycystic ovaries. I have been for an ultrasound, where the guy told me it was that before even giving my results to my doctor he was that certain.

Ever since then I can't stop crying, the moment anyone mentions babies, or tells me its okay i can still have them i get emotional or whenever im around my neices.

I feel like im supposed to be coping better - anyone help?

Ive just had my bloods done im waiting on those results

    Hey smile I was diagnosed with it last year, I had pretty much diagnosed myself after looking it up aha. If you've been trying for a baby and told that then it's completely normal for you to feel like that, I'm 19 so it's not really gotten to me but I know if I'd been trying id be the exact same! 

    Have you spoken to your doctor about treatments to help you conceive? Like metformin? I know there's other ones too just can't remember them just now. Metformin is for diabetes but has shown good results in women with pcos trying to conceive. I hope that helps a little, pcos doesn't mean you'll never be able to have children just might take a bit longer. I was told to lose some weight because it pretty much takes all the symptoms of it away which is easier said that done aha. Good luck with everything, try to keep your chin up meds can work and if not there's ivf too smile

      I try, ive never once complained or moaned to friends and family that i'll never have them as i know i will. but when its the one thing in life ive always desired its so hard to not worry or stress about it. 

      They've briefly mentioned fertility drugs but we're not that far into it all yet.

    Hey sweet! I was diagnosed in May, ANC I felt like that too. Me and my boyfriend are pretty serious, so we've talked about children, and I've had a lascoropy to rule out anything else, but it's just the cysts. I'd say make another appt to see your GP, and discuss things like further testing to see if you can rule out things like endometriosis and fibroids, the discuss the whole fertility side of things. Hope everything works out okay ☺️

      Hello, what was the lascoropy for? Ive had an internal ultrasound, where he said my womb and cervix look normal, my ovaries are enlarged and both covered with cysts. He told me so confidently that I had it and he says they dont normally say anything but he was that certain.

      Ive had bloods done and when ive rung up theyve said that they've come back normal and no further action needs to be taken and that was it ive no idea what to do now

      The lascoropy was an op I had done to see if I had endometriosis as well, because I kept getting really bad tummy pains duri sex. It was all clear, so now I know for certain I just have cysts on my ovaries. My bloods are always normal as well! If you don't have anymore unexplained pain, then it's just a waiting game until you want to get pregnant I'm afraid rolleyes they won't offer any fertility tests unless you've been trying for over a year sad
