Newby from Oklahoma, here!!
Hey everyone! I'm a newby to this site. I have PCOS ~ diagnosed when TTC #2 in 2003. After having DC #2 I went directly to BCP and decided to stop taking them in Jan "08, as everything under the sun was giving me migranes. Still having headaches, however, not as frequent or severe. After stopping BCP, AF disappeared, so that prompted a visit to GYN, then to a new PCP Internist (she specializes in hormones) for bloodwork and so on. And also now am on Met for IR, Sprio for the "uglies" and water retention, and a med for High BP. Oh, and was on Progesterone to start AF and then will be on an estrogen replacement. DH and I will be seeing a Nutritionist on 7/8 to get control of the kitchen and our eating habits with this. DH's father is diabetic and so he has that hanging over his head. I hate to boast, but DH is "on board" with whatever I do. This will be such a tremendous help, let alone setting a good example for our DC, 8 and 4 yrs. I need to lose around 115 pounds, so I have a long way to go, but I know I can get great support through this site. I'm glad to be able to join while you are getting this forum back up.
