PCOD & ENDOMETRIOSIS
Quote From: dallasmbI was recently diagnosed with PCOS Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. My husband and I are trying to have a baby but this disorder makes it nearly impossible. I feel like im living a vicious cycle with this disoder because my gynocologist is telling me the ways to treat the disorder and minimize my risk of getting Cervical Cancer is to get pregnant and lose weight and maintain it. But PCOS makes it impossible to get pregnant and its a leading cause for weight gain in woman with this condition. Its like theres no way I can win. Is there anyone else on this board dealing with the same issue? I completely understand what you are going through I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease and Endometriosis. I have had numerous laporoscopies and a laporatomy to remove scar tissue from the endometriosis. I've also tried the clomid, tried other shots to help me ovulate and nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've taken tons of medicine and tons of shots and nothing has helped. I was told I have less than 10% of IVF working because I don't ovulate. I don't even have any health coverage that covers infertility treatment. I've been fighting doctors for years who want me to have a hysterectomy but I keep hoping for a miracle. I so understand what you're going through. I have gained so much weight and have become so depressed and I often feel so alone with this issue. I know the risks of getting cancer from this are very high and doctors say its either get pregnant or have a hysterectomy but for women with this problem getting pregnant is virtually impossible and having a hysterectomy you lose all possibility of having your own child and your left with the option of adoption but then adoption is so expensive that you may not be able to afford it. Its very difficult for women, there is no easy answer but you need to follow your heart and keep the faith. May we all find peace and happiness. My best to you and your husband
