Q: Not Fair
asked by: Assena on August 29th, 2006

Well I finaly went to the gyno and talked to them about why I have yet to get preggers... Come to find out the tech who gave me my test results read them incorrectly.. I have pcos. I realy don't know what to do or how to react. I just want to scream at someone, but it is no ones fault.

They are starting me on metformin and I go in next month to make sure that my tubes are not blocked. I think this is going to be a long 6 months until things start to right them selves.

Honey the tube test was easy for me...I dreaded it and put it off for a long time and it only hurt when he stuck the tube through my cervix and then it was over....Took all of 10 mins. I also have severe pcos......My ovaries are completely covered in cysts which means I don't ovulate at all even with the fert. Drugs. I know exactly how you feel...My husband bought an ept every mth for almost 2 years and every mth we always got a neg. All I can tell you is good luck with the test and your round of drugs. But please remember that those aren't the only option for you to bring a child into your home. Stay strong honey cause your going to need to be.

i know and I am at just the begining of my treatment and realy not sure of what to expect. The metformin seems to be bothering my intestines but other than that I seem to be having any other side effects. Although I am only on the 500 mg dose and have 2 more weeks before I will be on the full 1500mg dose.

Only one problem I have seemed to have developed a yeast infection, but I am not sure if it was caused by the medicaion or just cause.

What i'm not understanding is why they have you on anything yet if they haven't finished all your tests? I know my doctor refused to do so until I had my last test done which was the dye test. How does he know if you have any blockages or scarring? And to put you on any kind of drugs to help you get preg. Before he knows for sure seems very irresponsible to me.

I was just diagnosed with pcos also. The reason for treatment before her hsg to check to see if her tubes are blocked is because pcos doesn't just cause infertility. Even if you aren't trying to get pregnant and you have pcos, you should still be treated. Pcos causes diabetes, cardiac problems and a host of other things. The medication given for pcos helps to regulate your body to prevent other diseases from happening and just happens to help with fertility along the way. Even if her tubes are blocked and they fix that, she will still need tx for the pcos. I haven't started any meds yet as I am waiting for a follow up appt to get a prescription. I have been reading that the tummy troubles will subside once you reach your full dosage and have been one it for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure about the yeast infection though. You may want to give your doctor a call.

I know all about pcos has I was told 3 and 1/2 years ago I had it when a cyst ruptured. I was only relating what my dr's told me and they all refused to put me on anything until every last one of my tests were finished. They were not willing to take chances with my health. And as I said before it seems very irresponsible to me for her Dr. To do so until he knows for sure her tests were all done and there were no further problems to contend with. Again that is my opinion based on how my Dr. Treated me.
