Hi Everyone-

 I'm a poster on the TTC board and have made maybe a few posts over here. But because of where my journey seems to be taking me, I plan to post here as well. I just wanted to introduce myself (I think that's ok? I didn't know if it'd be weird since I post on the TTC board...)

I'm 27 (but my bday is next month) and DH is 29. We have been married a little over a year, but together for 3 years. We decided to start TTC in October and I took my last bcp at the end of October. My first cycle was 120 days long and ended with Provera. My second cycle was 78 days and ended naturally. I'm currently on my third cycle with no end or O in sight. I have not O'd since getting off the pill. 

I had pretty much a non-stop period in high school and it was very heavy at times. After high school, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and put on Synthroid (currently on 88mcg). I got on the Synthorid and the pill about the same time, so it's hard to say if my cycles in high school were because of the thyroid or something else. At my annual appt in Feb, my doctor said she suspected PCOS because of my history and my weight issues. She took bloodwork but it wasn't cd3 bloodwork, so I don't know how much stock to put in those results. My LH was higher than my FSH, but again...wasn't cd3.  At this time, she said I could make an appt with the RE at the practice, but I wanted to wait to give my body more time.

I've been on 1500mg/day Metformin since February. My endo was also ok with me taking the Metformin. After 6 months of no changes, I finally made an appt with the RE at my obgyn practice and go on August 13th. I'm nervous, anxious yet looking forward to this appointment. I'm still holding on to hope that my body is still adjusting to not being on the pill...but the more time that passes, the less I begin to think that. 

Looking forward to getting to know you ladies over here!

    Welcome!  Your story sounds a lot like mine did when I first went off of bcp.  I was diagnosed with PCOS at the beginning of the year.  Hopefully your appt. next month will bring you some answers.  Good luck!  There's a great bunch of women here that are super supportiveSmile

    Hi Sarah, I recognize you from TTGP and you are definitely now in the right place. This is a very informed, supportive group here! And it is nice to talk to people who already KNOW stuff... like no you don't always O on day 14, no it doesnt matter what your friends friends aunts mom did to get pregnant and no relaxing doesnt help if you have a medical issue going on. Man its refreshing! I hope your stay here is short and sweet. Good luck at your RE appt!
