My gyn said it seemed like I had PCOS even though I didn't have all the identifying symptoms because my period was so irregular. Sometimes it would last for months and months and then other times it would be gone for months and months. I wasn't ovulating, and even with prescription meds I couldn't either. Since my surgery 3 months ago, I have had my period like clockwork and they are not as heavy anymore. Thinking that by the end of this year we will be trying for a baby again!

Fantastic work and I am so glad for you. I can't wait to have my sleeve and be able to move and do more things. Please keep us posted on your progess. This really helps us "wanna be's or so to be's" keep going forward to our goal of being a sleever. Best of luck to you!!!!

We did three different fertility doctors. The last one did testosterone and insulin levels to determine my PCOS. He recommended and endocrineologist. Maybe they could check those on you? Good luck!

No need anymore. I'm not diabetic. things.are getting much better!

Yay! Congrats and good luck!

Heather, I am not diabetic either (never was) Was 230 at my highest weight. They determined I had PCOS after clomid (they had me up to 5 a day) and I had multiple eggs and still none of them were dropping (they determined this by ultrasound daily). I always had regular periods. Just saying if you have any trouble getting pregnant after being diagnosed as PCOS those are good lab tests (testosterone and insulin) to get. You don't have to be diabetic to have PCOS. Actually with too much insulin your blood sugar runs low (hypoglycemia)

Oh that is so awesome to hear!! I am having surgery next week and was diagnosed with PCOS about 4 years ago. No ovulating and WHACK periods. My last one lasted 7 months and it was SO heavy.

Thanks for the encouragement!!

Thank you, my husband and I both had the testosterone tests done. I am not sure about the insulin one.
