I had my appointment with the endocrine doc Friday, he said I may have PCOS it does look like it but he needs blood work to confirm. He gave me a pill to take dexamethasone and I have to go in the morning for blood work. He recomended me to see a gyn also, I made the appontment for next week. my af came but it started last week with spotting on the 19 and it is still here. It is not like a normal one because I have clumps coming out. I wear panty liners at the most it seems to only come down at certain times and when I use the bathroom.

I am begining to get really scared and sad because me and dh had a really heated argument about everything. I don't know if I am being overly sesitive or what but I am sad and I really want to become a mother (I pray everyday for a beutiful and healthy baby). I am sitting here writting with tears in my eyes, feeling really sorry for myself for the moment.

I pray for baby dust all around.!! And good blood test results

btw---He is testing for thyroid, liver, hormones- and a few other things.

Hi there - I'm sorry you're going through this right now. I have PCOS too and I was once put on dexameth a blah also, just like you. If your blood work comes back okay, have them do an u/s - this is really one of the only ways to truly diagnose PCOS. Your bloodwork may be fine (like me) but your ovary may be polycystic. Looks like little pearls decorating your ovaries. I hope you don't have that -

As for your DH, make certain he knows that he is who you depend on the most through all of this. I'm sure he hates to see you hurting. I'm so blessed to have the support of mine - he wasn't always as he is now and I think he feels awful because he realizes that we will never be fully at a point in our lives to bring a little bit of me and him into this world. But he realizes that just like me, he is ready to be a daddy. Of course, I would be the momma.

Stay strong! Good luck with everything!

Things will be ok. I think all of our DHers feel left out of alot because we get all the testing done and have to take all kinds of wacky meds. Momma was right- tell him you really need him right now. My DH is wonderful but sometimes the pressure gets to be too much and we both start screaming at each other. 3 weeks ago we were screaming and cursing in the car outside church before mass. Everyone staring at us!! You need to concentrate on yourself and get all the tests done so you can see what your next plan of action is. If your DH is driving you crazy just remember that most men are big babies and just use us for support. We are hear everyday ready to give you ((hugs)) and support.

I also have PCOS with all its classic symptoms. It took me almost 2 years to be ddiagnosed, so I was reaaly glad when I finally found a doc that told me what my problem was and the treatment for that condition.

Even though I am not insulin resistant, I´ve been taking an insuling sensitizing drug called Glucophage XR and I already got pregnant twice (but m/c at 5 weeks). So there is hope for PCOSers!

And we have some pregnant ******* here on this board!

It will happen to us too!!
