3T Intro!

in Trouble TTC

Hi Ladies,

I have asked questions on here a couple of times before about my PCOS dx and bloodwork but I thought I should do a real intro. 

DH and I have been trying for a year now, without success.  I started temping and charting a few months ago and my charts indicate ovulation.  A previous dr. diagnosed me with PCOS based on bloodwork and physical symptoms but no cysts.  (I had breakthrough bleeding one time, but aside from that I have normal periods).  I just went to my new OBGYN yesterday and she wasn't totally convinced of the dx based on the bloodwork.  I'm having new bloodwork done and DH is getting a SA (he had a varicocele in the past, so our issues may be here).  Strangely, at the end of the appointment the dr. started suggesting metformin and wanted to write a script right there, even though I haven't had any blood work showing it's necessary (is that common?!). 

Anyway, that's my TTC bio.  As for NTTCR: I am a grad student.  DH and I recently moved to Chicago and we bought a house this summer that we are slowly renovating. 

Thanks for reading, if you made it this far!

    First of all, welcome to Chicago!  Hope you're enjoying the city so far...and putting on your Bears hat for Sunday :)

    You definitely want to see an RE to see if s/he agrees with the PCOS diagnosis.  Like now.  :)  An RE's job is to get you pregnant, an OBGYNs job is to help you have a healthy pregnancy and birth.  OBGYNs do not have the diagnostic expertise, and unfortunately there are cases of OBGYNs wrongly prescribing medications and incorrect diagnoses.  I don't mean to scare you, just a heads up.

    Your OBGYN should be able to refer you to an RE.  We're lucky in Chicago to have lots of options!  I see an RE at Northwestern, and I'd be happy to share my thoughts if you are interested.

    Good luck!  Hope your stay is short and sweet :)

    Thank you all for the friendly welcome!  I agree that I should probably go straight to an RE.  I will try to get DH to get his SA ASAP and then go from there.
