I've struggled with infertility from PCOS. In 8 years I've had one child and 1 miscarriage and had a welcoming attitude towards another pregnancy. Not trying, but not trying to prevent. My periods and PMDD symptoms had worsened so I finally gave in to my doctor's suggestion to go on birth control. A few months along, my periods are regular, not as heavy, and my PMDD symptoms improved. Last week I got the call that I'm approved for sugery and I'll be having it done sometime this spring. Also last week, I was overworked and some how forgot to take my birth control pill for 3 nights in a row. I find myself for the first time ever hoping I am NOT pregnant! I really need this surgery! On the plus side... I now know for cerain that the PMDD food cravings were not imaginary because I was dismayed at how food cravings had returned... yeah, it was after being off my Yaz for a few days. Doh!
