So tomorrow I have yet another doctors appointment. It's a follow up with my OBGYN doctor after a few weeks ago when I thought i was pregnant, only to find out i wasn't and i acutually had PCOS and might not even be able to have children.
I've been a nervous wreck since then worrying over if Colin and I would ever be able to have a baby when we're ready. I want soo much to be a mom- i've really been taking this hard lately. Thankfully though- i have a wonderful man by my side who has been sooooooo supportive. Colin has researched PCOS and infertility right along with me and has been incredable about the whole thing. We decided that as soon as we're married- we will not waste any time and we will start to try and have a family as soon as possible- because the amount of cysts on my ovaries is really bad and the doctor said i need to try and concieve as soon as possible to have a better chance of having children. Also- Colin has also said that if we can not concieve on our own- he will support me 100% if we seek IVF or adoption when the time is right. So knowing how supportive he is about this- it's really comforting. During my appointment tomorrow i'm going to discuss PCOS more in depth with her and see what if anything i can do. I am still having an immense amount of pain and cramping off and on..and it's to the point that it's hard to function when i start to cramp badly. Tomorrow I will also find out if I need to see a fertility specalist as well. I'm really hoping i won't have to. Colin and I have decided that if we are able to have children naturally- once we are done having the amount that we would like- I will likely opt for a complete hystroectomy after we're done because of the extent of the pcos. I am ok with that and my doctor said since it would be medical- i wouldn't have to wait for the age limit. (we would love to have 3 or 4 but will take whatever God blesses us with.) So if ya'll don't mind- would ya'll send a few vibes out my way tomorrow. I'm really hoping for good news since i'm young. I'm hoping that will be on my side a bit. I'm also trying to stay really healthy (eating well and working out) so that when we are ready to try to have a baby- it might be easier. Thankyou again guys, I don't know what i'd do without ya'll support!

Ohhhh man you poor thing to have to go through all this!!! That's awesome Colin is so supportive - what a relief


Good luck tomorrow! Make sure you and Colin write down a list of question for the doc - if DH doesn't come with me for that sort of thing he always asks a bunch of questions afterwards that are really good and I hadn't even thought about.

If Colin can go with you - even better.

Good luck

I"ll always send vibes needed or not to you!
. The Lord has many great things instore for you and no matter what happens or how you have children, you and Colin will be amazing parents and any child would be sooo lucky to have you both.

Keep your chin up. I know it's been rough to find all this out in such a short amount of time, but I can tell you are strong and you and Colin together are even stronger and you both will make it through this rough patch.

I'll be saying a little prayer for you tonight!

Thanks Sarah, i appreciate that. Colin has been soo sweet and supportive about this lately. It just reminds me of what a wonderful man he is. He really wants to have children too- so he understands how important this is to me. He's working the C shift temporarily for a little while so he's working 10:30-6:30am so he'll be asleep while i'm at the doctor tomorrow but he had offered to take off and go with me. I told him it was ok and that since it's just the obgyn, there was no need for him to- but if they send me to a reproductive specialist- he's gonna go with me.
I am going to write down a list of questions tonight like you suggested to ask her about tomorrow.

I really appreciate that.
/ It's just the whole "not knowing" whethere i'll be able to have kids that's really been upsetting me. I went in to the doctor it feels like just yesterday thinking we we're pregnant- only to find out i may not be able to at all. Like the doctor said- nothing's written in stone yet....but still just not knowing- it's so upsetting. And lately (and don't get me wrong i'm very happy for them and love them to pieces) many of my friends have been finding out their pregnant and having babies....and a lot of them who found out they were pg. were complaining about not wanting a baby and all of this- right in front of me knowing about the current issues... and here i am thinking....what i wouldn't give to have a child you know. I guess it's different for every woman (it's frusterating though). Thanks for letting me vent
Colin is really supportive- but he just doesn't understand like a lady does you know.

I know about wanting to have a baby and everyone else around you just seems to be getting pregnant. I've decided to wait and watch but I always get so tempted to try and get pregnant even though that isn't the best choice.

It's really hard, so just hang in there! There are so many medical advances and you have a lot going for you. You are young, you try and take care of yourself, which is a HUGE part of the battle and there are many success stories of woman with PCOS getting pregnant.


I truely hope tomorrow will bring you some good and helpful news.

i hope everything goes well in the morning. i have no doubts that you will be a mother one way or another.

i know it has been talked about, but maybe you guys should get around to it sooner then later. then you can maybe get those removed?

once again i hope you get the news you want. and of course anytime you need to chat, i am sure you can find me.

take care

You're young, and hopefully your cysts aren't horribly horribly awfully bad.
Just keep going at it like rabbits, and you'll eventually get there. My mom was an OB nurse, she said lots of women with PCOS have kids with no problems. Just stay positive... sometimes I think that has more to do with health than anything else!
Take care sweetie!

In a state of misery w/o my Bella
Nikki, My sis had 3 kids AFTER a Dr. told her she had PCOS, he said you will never have kids and you will be obese, she's a size 4 and has 3 BEAUTIFUL Children. So don't let this get you down there is always hope. I will be thinking about you and praying. Good Luck!

I hope everything goes alright. I hope the cramps will go away too. I would think it would make it hard to think about anything else.
