Hi girls, I'm glad to have found a place with girls who have similar health problems.
I found out in June that I have PCOS. I wasn't given an internal ultrasound to confirm, but I have all the symptoms and sadly my doctor diagnosed me stating that we didn't even need the internal to know for sure.
I got off birth control in June 2011 just to see if it would affect my sex drive any (I had none), in the year that I was off birth control I had 2 periods. I'm kind of glad in a roundabout way that I did what I did because I knew before I TTC that I had some health issues.
I'm 5'9 and weighed 130 in high school. I'm 27 now and after having a family get-together I was disgusted by how fat and unhappy I looked in all the pictures. I weighed myself that day and found that I was 227. I obviously knew I put on a lot of weight,but I avoided weighing myself because I didn't want to see how bad it had gotten.
For the last few years I would binge eat just about every day because of boredom or feeling down, which helped contribute to the weight gain and I knew that to change my health and change my life I would have to cut all of that get on board with a different lifestyle. After graduation in May I started WW, but found it kind of useless and in June after my fertility specialist appt. I started with MFP and am loving being able to be responsible for what goes in my mouth and what I do to help lose those calories.
My husband and I want to TTC around February, and I KNOW that I have to lose weight before then if anything has a chance of happening. My goal weight for my next fertility specialist appt in November is 190....I think I can do it.
Sorry for the huge rant, but it's hard to be able to talk to women who understand and can empathize with what I'm going through and feeling.
Please feel free to add me. I always have time for those who need someone to listen to them.
