My doctor thinks i have polycystic ovary syndrome? |
me and my partner have been trying for another baby, but have had no joy! so i went to the doctors to explain that we want another and ive been having mood swings, gained weight, and have started developing spots, she is now refering me to the hospital for tests. she didnt explain to me properly what pcos is and what will happen at the hospital! can anyone help? I was just diagnosed with PCOS in septmeber, so I can relate to what you are going through. Here are some good websites that I found when I was doing research on it after my diagnosis. Hope they help. Oh, and my doctor started me on prometrium and clomid to help with my chances, but I can't start them right now (other health reasons). Maybe they could do the same for you to help your chances for a little bundle of love and joy. http://www.pcosupport.org/ http://www.4woman.gov/faq/pcos.htm... http://my.dmci.net/~candylady/pco/... http://infertility.about.com/cs/secondar... http://www.fertilitylifelines.com/index.... (fertility lifelines was very helpful to me) and last but not least theres http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/polycys... surely all you need to do is look online? http://www.justeves.com/tmma/pcod.shtml... sorry. Hope you feel better soon. The site below gives a good explantion. Tests will probably include a scan and/or X rays and maybe a blood test. http://www.pcosupport.org/ Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, clinically known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome), is an endocrine disorder that affects 5鈥?0% of women, the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, and is a leading cause of infertility. PCOS develops when the ovaries are stimulated to produce excessive amounts of male hormones (androgens), particularly testosterone, either through the release of excessive luteinizing hormone (LH) by the pituitary gland or through high levels of insulin in the blood (hyperinsulinaemia) in women whose ovaries are sensitive to this stimulus.This syndrome acquired its most widely used name because a common symptom is multiple (poly) ovarian cysts. These form where egg follicles matured but were never released from the ovary because of abnormal hormone levels. Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/polycystic_... |
