I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 when i told the gyno that i was having painful cramps and an irregular cycle. they ended up doing a laproscopic(sp) procedure to remove the cysts that were in my ovaries. He also found that the "skin" over my ovary was as think as the tip of an ink pen when it should be as thin as a sheet of paper.
after the surgery i was scared to go back to the doctor because he put me on meds that would shrink the cysts, but instead made me very sick. So i didn't go back. anyways i was lucky enough to get pregnant on my own, no i wasn't ttc. i was only 20 but it was a blessing since i was always told, "good luck getting pregnant" however my fiance (now dh) and i were not using protection for almost 3 year and having ALOT of intercourse at the time. Now we have agreed to ttc after i got a new job with more money and great benefits. I have not had a cycle since i had my son a year and a half ago. Where do i start? I have a great obgyn, but i don't even know what to ask. So i guess i'm asking for some help from you girls that have been going through this for some time for some pointers. what meds worked for you? what meds have you tried? HELP please Posted on 07/02/08, 07:07 pm |

I would recommend that you make a Drs. appointment to see what is going on and get their opinion. It is not normal to not have a period for a year and a half. I wish you the best.
