ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I have not been formally diagnosed with PCOS. My gynecologist says I probably have it, but the treatment is weight loss and birth control pills. I cannot tell you how depressing it is to go to the Dr. and have them blame everything (migraines, TMJ, anxiety, etc...) on my weight. If I'm not depressed when I go into the Drs - I am when I come out. __________________ Genius has its limitations, stupidity has no such handicap. -GE |

I was told by so many doctors, specialists that women with PCOS would never be able to get to a healthy weight so I never bothered trying, now it's different I am trying hard and know I will do it.:carrot: __________________ |

LOL HEIGHT: 5'8" OCCUPATION: SAHM - the most important job in the world! ;) GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Northeast British Columbia, Canada WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Losing the weight. I have tried so many different things only to see a few pounds go and then everything come back. I get so discouraged that I just give in. I guess "Sticking-with-it-ness" is a problem. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I am honestly afraid that if I don't do it this time, I will die before my kids grow up. My health has gone so downhill in the last few years and I am already having a hard time walking - I refuse to let this thing get me! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW about: I've actually had the diagnosis of PCOS for 6 years and I'm just now starting to actually deal with it. When I was diagnosed, DH and I were ttc and the only thing on my mind was, "OK, I have this thing, now how do I overcome it and get pregnant?". With Chlomid and Met I was able to conceive my first son after 2 years of trying. After Liam was born and I was feeling up to it, we started my Met again, and lo-and-behold, 3 weeks later I got pregnant again. I am a HUGE believer in Met for PCOS and ttc! Other than that, I am pretty much an open book - I love talking to people and if you like to chat, I'd love a WL buddy! If you want to know more, just ask - you'll get the answer! :carrot: |

Age: 33 (almost 34) BIRTHDAY: August 15th 1973 LOCATION: New London CT MARITAL STATUS: Engaged (Been together almost 6 yrs) SPOUSE’S NAME: Todd CHILDREN/AGES: No children, but my cat Bella is my baby CURRENT WEIGHT: 203 GOAL WEIGHT: 145 - 150 HEIGHT: 5'5" EYE COLOR: Blue/grey HAIR COLOR: Auburn OCCUPATION: Sr. CDS Associate in a Data Management Co. More about me: Well, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15. I was given birth control pills at that time to regulate my period and it worked. But as I got older and my life got more complicated I didn't always have the insurance nor the money to stay on birth control. I haven't had my period in 4 yrs now. I am way over weight and there are other things about PCOS that drive me nuts. Most of which I have always wanted to be a mother and I just don't see that happening now. I'm getting up there in age and I don't want to start a family after I'm 40. |
