Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS and feeling lost.
I have been on birth control pills for 5 or 6 years to treat my acne so I cannot remember if my period was irregular before starting on the pills. But I do remember there was once when I was 17 my period did not come for 5 months.
Fast forward now, I have just gotten married and plan to TTC end of this year so I stopped the pills last year. Started having irregular period and went to KKH for a check. Did blood test and ultrasound. Doctor says my hormone levels are within range, ultrasound scan results is normal except she said I have a lot of eggs (not sure if she meant cyst?). I am not overweight, in fact I am on the verge of becoming underweight.
Very confused now because doctor suggested me to go on the pills again which I declined so she gave me medications to induce period. Previously taken provera but side effects was too harsh on me so she changed another type of medicine for me. She also encouraged me to try naturally first and if it doesn't work then go back to her again.
I was alone when I went to KKH for the appointment so I just took whatever information the doctor gave me and left. When I got back and told my HB about it, he started asking me questions which never came across me when I was at the clinic. Now I feel so lost because I don't even know much/understand PCOS. The next appointment is 6 months later. Sigh..
