Hi Everyone! Thought I'd post my first message on these boards. I have been doing a bit of reading on the boards and have found this thread particularly relevant to my situation.
I have been trying to get pregnant for just over a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS this February. So far I have been prescribed Provera (7 days), which brought on AF. Just yesterday I finished a 5 day cycle of Clomid. I am also taking 500mg of Metformin this week, 1000mg next week and then 1500mg thereafter. So far the worst part has been the hot flashes at night.
Since I stopped taking birth control pills (Triphasil) last March, my weight has steadily increased, due to the PCOS. My usual weight was between 150-155 and now I am sitting at 178. I'm finding it very hard to get up and exercise. I went for a short walk today and I was so depressed when I got home. I was tired!! I felt like I was carrying a huge weight on my back! Every time I make an effort to exercise, I end up giving up because of how out of shape I feel. Also, my appetite is out of control - is this a typical issue with PCOSers?
Anyway, I'd really like to hear if anyone else is experiencing any of the same issues that I am. I'm hoping that these boards will keep me somewhat motivated and that others will be able to offer up some tips for me.
