Possible PCOS
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I thought I would share my story. I have a 4 1/2 year old son, conceived naturally my first month off of birth control. So, I figured when I wanted to try again after my cesarean it wouldn't be a problem...wrong!
We've been trying for over two years now. I am ovulating regularly according to my digital monitor, and conceived in July of last year and miscarried at 7 1/2 weeks, after seeing the heartbeat. I was devastated, but we started trying again right away. This month my period was 5 days late and I got a faint + the day before it was due, then all negatives and it arrived with a vengeance.
I finally went for labs last week and was told that my DHEA sulfate is high and I may have pcos. I have suspected hypothyroidism for years as I have 99% of the symptoms. I was told it was normal with a TSH of 2.2, but have read things that make me think that is on the high end of the normal range.
I'm frustrated and fighting depression over my inability to conceive. I have an appt. with my gyn on the 19th and I'm trying to get in with an endocrinologist who is booked until July...ugh, more waiting!
