Hello everyone!!! If anyone is still left, lol... I know this thread is terribly old, but I enjoyed reading everyone’s stories. All 12 pages!!! I am 24 years old now, soon to be 25 in April. At the young age of 17, I developed endometriosis, which I had to have a laparoscopy to discover. After having the endometriosis, I was told that I wouldn’t be able to conceive. In April 2004, five days before my B-Day I got married to my hubby. 25 days after being married I found out I was two weeks pregnant. So I got pregnant in April, but didn’t find out until May the next month. Funny thing, they kept trying to tell me I was over four months pregnant, but I was only two weeks. I hadn’t had a period that year in four months. Our beautiful son will be four years old in two weeks

A couple weeks ago, I was told I had PCOS. I only have one period a year, facial hair, skin tags on my neck, discolored skin, you name it I have it, lol… Three years my husband and I have been trying to conceive; now, we know the reason behind why we couldn’t after all these years. I have my first appt. with my OBGYN on Jan. 19th. I honestly don’t know what he will say or do, but it seems like its forever away (the appt.). My husband is getting ready to do his second tour in Iraq. He leaves out in May. I really want to have my weight loss surgery, but at the same time, I want to have another child. Everyone in my family tells me that I should try to conceive before having my weight loss surgery. Sorry for the long story, but my question is:::: FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE HAD PCOS, DID YOU HAVE TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT BEFORE YOUR DOCTOR WOULD START YOU ON CLOMID??? I know the doctor who referred me to my OBGYN suggested metformin also. Does anyone know if Tri-Care will pay for CLOMID??? What types of insurance have some of you used? Thanks to all…

Hi well I am 21 and I have been married for a little over a year, 2 years ago i was told I have endometriosis about a year ago I was told I also have PCOS. I have not had my period in 9 months. I finally jsut got health insurance. I had a transvaginal ultrasound this past monday and today I am going to meet my new OBGYN. I was told that I am going to have a hard time conceiving. I am supposed to have a laprosocopy and then be put on clomid. I also have some facial hair, skin tags on my neck and u name it i have it lol the lower back pain i experience is horrible and i get shooting pains in my kidneys. I am a overweight as well they say that losing weight will help the pcos but the problem with that is the endometriosis counteracts that because I struggle losing weight because of endometriosis so it is very difficult. I have been on metformin for 4 months and it has done nothing for me I still have not had a period, I am still not pregnant and nothing went away so I have not had success with that. Unfortunately because every insurance company out there feels like the things I have are all preexisting conditions so insurance is sky high I have chosen to get state health care for the time being because they don't care what health problems you have. I had to stop working so I could get on it but my health is more important. I pray every day that I will be able to have a baby.
