I found out that I had PCOS ugh!!! I hate that thing once I found out I became very depressed and unhappy with life. So I became very inclosed with my life and who I was but luckily that I had family/friends who I love dearly there for me and I was once again myself. Took me a while but I got there but the main reason why I became so depressed and unhappy was due to the relationship that I was in with my boyfriend at the time (now husband) for about 3yrs then we were trying to have a child and when I found out that I had IT! the doc told me that it was going to be really hard for me to conceive.
Well I really wanted a child. And what had made it worse for me was that my girls whom I have been friends with currently for 10 yrs were all having children and then I fell back into depression mode and started drink,drugs and parting. And let me tell you that was nothing I was really planning on doing with my life but it happened and then to make things even more difficult I found out that my boyfriend at the time was going to be moving to new zealand. :'( I was sad for days but then he asked me to go with him and I thought and considered it and finally decided to go. so I was in NZ for 6 moths and during those months we were still trying to conceive and of course nothing and I at that time me and him were together for close to 4 yrs and I hadn't seen a doctor for a while I wasn't on anything to help me either so I guess I just thought it would of just happened for us but god had a different plan.
And I am very grateful that he didn't allow me to become with-child cause I ended up moving back to the U.S due to a situation we were going through. so that was when I found out that my boyfriend at the time cheated on me. So then I was even more grateful that it never happened. So I and he went our own ways for about a year then we got to talking again and in 2008 he ended up moving back to the U.S and moved in with me.
We then got married 3 months later and then we knew we definitely wanted a child so in 2008 I went to a doc and they prescribed me birth control and told me that it would help me after a year so i took it for a year and that crap did nothing so that was a waste of time . I then started a job at copper hills youth center in 2009 and found other people within that job that had IT! also and I was shocked and one of them were pregnant she told me in's and out's and a specialty doctor. so I went to the doctor and they prescribed me METFORMIN and told me to start eating healthy so I took the meds and and tried key word tried eating healthy and of course my stubborn self couldn't do it.
I ended up just taking the meds and let me tell you that med messed up my stomach but I stayed on it for 6 months and it started working and for some reason I stopped taking it thinking that I didn't need it any more I don't know why but I did and then I fell right back into the same position I was in 6 months prior. I still never became pregnant but I struggled from then on trying to get into shape trying to conceive and from 2009 till about 2011 I tried and tried only with METFORMIN and 2012 was when I found out about a med called CLOMID!! and when I did I was scared to try it so I tried to at one point through out that year find alternatives which were natural ways to help my PCOS! and I found out about vitex, saw palmento and others took those for a year with out taking METFORMIN and those did nothing for me so I went back on the prescribed meds and talked to my OBGYN .
Ok let me tell you something kind of off topic but when I found out about the specialist doctor in 2009 I was excited and I had that doctor for a year but he did nothing for me and I stopped going then I found a OBGYN in 2011 that was close by and that knew about PCOS and who was the one that told me about clomid she helped me with my METFORMIN and things I should be doing and I had her for about 1yr 1/2 and she was great if you are in utah her name was tina fought but then she transferred out of the company that I loved and I didn't want to lose her but also where she had moved to was really far so before I switched I tried another female OBGYN that was with the company that I loved and her name it lynn atwood I was scared but also hopeful and when I had my first appointment with her she was very welcoming and understood what I had and told me that she had lots of patients that had much success with CLOMID so that made me really excited and this was the middle of 2012. And that is how I started my process with Clomid.
Back on track my OBGYN gave me a new prescription for METFORMIN and CLOMID I started that in november or december of 2012 and stayed on till about may and on June 12 , 2013 I found out that I was pregnant... YEAYEEEEE!!!!!
when I found out I was extreamly excited and I didn't know what to do with myself I couldn't think and I definitely didn't know how to tell my husband due to the fact that I always told myself I'm going to tell him in a cute way if I ever became pregnant but nope never did. but he is extremely excited also. my baby is due january 25, 2013.
later I will post my ultrasound picture and talk about my experience's and symptoms and the things my doctor helped me out with. If there is something any one would like me to talk about please feel free to ask me.
Till next time,
Hokulani
