I have been married 14 years and have an 11 year
old son. I conceived my son with no problems and
had a very easy pregnancy/delivery.
A year and a half later, my husband and I decided
to try for a second child. I became pregnant about
6 months later but lost the baby the day after I
found out I was expecting. At the time, I was very
sick with high fever, flu, etc., so the
miscarriage was blamed for that.
Eight years went by and suddenly I turn up
pregnant! I was soooo excited and thought this was
it. God was finally going to bless me with another
child. Two weeks after finding out I was pregnant,
I lost this child with no explanation as to why.
This loss was extremely heartbreaking for my
family, but at the same time, it offered hope that
I could still get pregnant.
Almost a year has gone by, and I decided I have
waited long enough to figure out what was going
on.
I finally decided to go to the doctor to get some
blood work done. Of course, the first answer is to
lose weight and excercise, but she did agree to do
some tests. All of my blood work checked out fine,
but an ultrasound revealed 12 cysts on my right
ovary. This confirmed the doctor's suspicion of
PCOS.
I have been taking Metformin and have started the
South Beach Diet (doctor's suggested diet). So, I
am officially TTC...Again.
