Pregnancy
Question:
What are the chances of a gal with PCOS getting pregnant with no fertility treatments – And on top of that.. been taking the pill to have her periods since the age of 15 (now 23) because without the pill she wouldn’t have any? Well guess what… I there’s hope for everyone I guess because my home pregnancy test came back positive last night. I thought I would never be able to experience something of the sort. Sigh! I’m scared to death. I don’t know what to do honestly. I have a doctors appointment next week to be tested – simply because I don’t think home tests are all that accurate. I need advice.. Has anyone here gone through this? Other than the doctors, what should I do until I see her? Should I stop all meds just in case? should I continue them because I don’t believe this is right? Any ideas?
Response:
actually, home pg tests are pretty accurate. You are more likely to get a false negative from testing too early than a false positive. However, I would contact your dr. and see if he/she wants you on progesterone suppositories (they are vaginal and you put them in twice a day). This is very important in the beginning of a pregnancy so us PCO’s have enough progesterone so the placenta can develop. I started them the day I had a positive pg test elyann (mother of a one yr. old conceived on 50 mg clomid) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Melanie wrote: > What are the chances of a gal with PCOS getting pregnant with no fertility > treatments – And on top of that.. been taking the pill to have her periods > since the age of 15 (now 23) because without the pill she wouldn’t have any? > Well guess what… I there’s hope for everyone I guess because my home > pregnancy test came back positive last night.

Well my mom had 5 kids and her mom had 9, so go figure. Lots of sex I guess to catch that rare ovulation

Well and women with PCOS can sometimes have a weird hormonal imbalance that leads certain tests to come out pos. no matter what. Depends on which test you used. But, I’ve taken pg tests and none have ever come out pos. yet! So good luck.

I figure I can always be a foster mom instead of trying to get pregnant or adopt a few kids. There are plenty of them due to the wars and chinea has lots of female babies in orphanages because of their rule that families can only have one child over there. Or if I was a teacher then I could have my students who I could consider mine. So there are other ways other than getting pregnant to have children. That’s what I’m planning to do teach kids taekwondo get involved in their lives and help them grow up. Part of the joy of parenthood I gather is watching them grow and learn. I can make a much bigger impact on the world by being a teacher and maybe a foster mom than popping off a few kids. I know I might not be able to anyway so now that I have this diagnosis I’ve decided to have a very different life taking into account the limitations of my reproductive system. I recognize that it might be possible to have a child with this disorder but there are other considerations. I have other genetically passable problems aside from this disorder which given the way I was treated by society I do not want to put anyone through that. I have learning disorders it’s not that I do not want children it’s that I’m not sure I have a right to put another human being through what I have been through the kind of abuse, discrimination and frustration that I’ve been through. Some days I wonder why I was born at all. I’m thinking I don’t want children anyway until things settle down in this society maybe. Until I make a big enough impact on people to teach them not to be so awful to people who are different. Then I might consider bringing children into this world but not until then because I think this society isn’t ready to accept an intelligent human being with severe deficits in learning and short term memory. Until I can take a sledge hammer and clear the barriers out so the disabled can do anything in this society. That they can go to college and get their modifications so they will succeed graduate and get out in the world and be treated as equals to anyone. I never intended to be a role model but I guess fate had other plans. I tried to run away from it but found out I couldn’t. I gave up on college because not only did I have to learn the material on my own I had to deal with butt dragging from uncooperative professors and the general powerlessness of the disabilities services. Because of that I realized I’d be better off trying to learn what I needed without their "help" which made things even more frustrating and to top it off I sometimes failed the course in spite of all the work I did. I dropped out of wake tech because nothing I did seemed to work and I was on academic probation and couldn’t seem to get off academic probation. They recently told me that they sent the message for the wrong year I wrote back and told them I no longer cared about any of that and told them I dropped out because I couldn’t get off academic probation. I decided to wait two years when my record would be gone and then I could return if I wanted to without having to deal with academic probation anymore which meant I had to get an advisor’s permision to register for classes. Since I couldn’t get my gpa up to get off it and the other frustrations I had to deal with I decided to simply quit. I felt like sisyphus anyway trying to move a boulder up the hill only to have it roll down again only my boulders were intractible people and burocratic red tape so I tried to ditch the boulder after I got tired of coping with it. I guess I just got tired of people who make a nuisance of themselves in higher education and do not seem to have any purpose other than to piss me off. I found out the real world is no better than college in that respect. I can deal with dead weight up to a high school level but at a college level I either have to go on my own or get decent professors. Which the ladder is impossible to reliably find good professors so it isn’t an option for me to continue going to college anymore. I’ve had two hurtful humiliating rejections with jobs I applied for one of them was volenteer. I’m thinking about calling this lady back and telling her I talked to some of my friends and they agree with me she is a miserable vonenteer coordinator which is something like what she said to me. I know it isn’t a christian thing to do but I’m just a tad tired of this sort of thing and if I’m not going to get the job anyway I might as well throw some of the insults back in her face. That would remedy the situation if it arises from ignorance of how much that hurt. I’m not sure this is what I should be doing but the fact is I’m tired of that. The verbally we are as we once were physically so if you keep getting hurt a good deal of the time hurting the other person badly enough to prove you can will give everyone around you pause not much but they know you aren’t defenseless. I won’t try to knife the other person in the back I owe my honor that much. If I’m going to do something I might regret I’m not going to stab that person in the back I’m going to go right for the front.
