Ok ok fine!!!! I'll call the Dr :(

branmuffin2112 · December 2010

I'm over this cycle from hell. I've been on the same cycle since September and I'm done. I don't want to call the doctor but I realize that I may not be able to do this on my own. I know she is going to want me to come in for bloodwork and all that jazz to test me for PCOS Sad

I'm dreading it but it's time to put my big girl panties on and play with the cards that were dealt to me. So here we go...::deep breath::

Sorry, Branmuffin. I think you are doing the right thing, for what it's worth. I hope the doctor visits yields some solutions for you!

I'm sorry love

Think of it this way - your body is doing what it is going to do... you knowing or not knowing what is going on isn't going to change any of that, but it will help you make things better. PCOS is manageable. 100 day cycles - not so much, right?

Good luck

it's not easy but thanks fyre Smile

Hopefully a call to the doctor will give you the answers you need. T&Ps coming your way!

Oh Branmuffin ((hugs)) FWIW, I think it's a good decision to go to the dr. I just had my PCOS confirmed by u/s on Tuesday and am waiting to get my b/w results back today or Monday. It's definitely disheartening, but there are many, many ways to still have a successful pregnancy if you do have PCOS. Many T&Ps coming your way! Keep us posted.

I am sorry about your crazy long cycle. Good luck at the doctor!

I don't know all of your background, but it sounds like from the other responses, this is the right thing to do. Good luck to you and I hope your doctor is able to give you some answers and come up with a good plan on how to move forward.

Big hugs, love! I hope the doctor can help give you answers so you can at least come up with a game plan.

I've been through those never ending cycles & was tested & diagnosed w/ PCOS. of course I didn't want something to be wrong, but honestly, I felt so much better after I knew why things weren't going right. and once you figure out the problem, you can start working on a solution

there will still be frustrations along the way but it gets easier once you know what you're up against. Good luck & I hope you get things figured out quickly.

That's what I was thinking too. Thanks ladies for the support and being there for me to vent to.

I'm sorry branmuffin! Like all the other PP said, once you figure it out, you can come up with a better plan.

I am having BW done next Monday to test for PCOS as well. My obgyn mentioned at my last pap (April?) that if I were to have BW done for anything with my GP, I should ask about getting tested for PCOS. So my doctor wants to check my cholesterol and I asked for the testing. I am nervous and scared (why would my OB even bring it up if she didn't have cause for concern even though we were not TTC?). And although right now we are in the not-trying-not-preventing camp, I figure if I know now and take the steps towards regular cycles, I will be more prepared next summer when we actively start TTC.

Good luck and hope things are figured out for you!

I'm sorry - I also had a 80 day cycle from Sept - Nov. I know it no fun. I went to the doctor and she reassured me that its very normal if you've just come off birth control and it can take up to 6 months to get your body to regulate. Good Luck!

cyndielise · December 2010

If it makes you feel better, in the last three weeks alone, I've had my blood drawn THREE times and have to go AGAIN Monday... lol. Help?? :]

I also had to have a transvag. ultrasound (which took like ten minutes, ergh!) and a doctor shove many more things up me...

Just try to breath and relax or your veins constrict and it takes longer. :] close your eyes and go to a happier place! :]

Prayers!! :]

loveypants · December 2010

I just want to give you some ::hugs::.

Hopefully you will be able to get a plan in place and get everything all worked out!

blackbird01 · December 2010

I'm so sorry. I know how much it sucks to have to call the doctor (I just made my own appointment since January is one year TTC). Good luck and know that even if it does turn out you have PCOS, many ladies here have had PCOS and gotten pregnant.
