Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was about 16 years old. I have since struggled with facial hair, weight problems, skin problems, no period, skin tags, high blood pressure and cholesterol and worst of all infertility. I am so lucky to have found my husband that loves me dispite these problems and we have been trying to concieve for a little over two years. I dont have anyone to talk to about these problems and just want to feel like one of the "norm" for once in my life.
Treatments
- Clomid Working / Worked
- I have taken clomid for 3 cycles before being referred to a fertility specialest. My insurance changed, and fertility is not covered, so I hope to try clomid again.
- Metformin Working / Worked
- Lost no weight, no help for fertility, however stopped after two months because of excessive diarrhea.
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- Had period oral contraceptives, very hard to work out dose and kind that worked for me. Ended up using the patch.
- Phentermine Working / Worked
- I am taking phentermine along with a strict diet. The phentermine helps control the cravings and hunger. I have lost 76.5 lbs so far and am still losing. I am following the diet, being monitored by the doctor every two weeks. I report any side effects and he tells me what I should do to fix/relieve them. Taking the phentermine and staying on this diet (very healthy foods, white meat, fruitd, vegies, lowfat dairy prod. and whole wheat bread- all in 1 portion sizes)- has brought my cholesterol down to just a couple of points above normal so far and my BP is perfect. I had my first "real" period last week (without the aid of birth control/ fertility treatments), my hair is starting to grow where it was thinning, my anxiety is gone, The hair on my face/body is becoming thinner and growing I feel great. Hopefully I will be able to update the effects on ovulation soon. I am having a test in a few days. Side effects for me- constipation, tiredness (I take a daily multivitamin/mineral) dry mouth and some sleepiness. Modiness...but my hormones are getting straightened out, so that is a good thing ;)
Close Financial Challenges
My husband and I are trying to clear up our credit-It is very hard and upsetting. It seems like no matter what we give up, there is still not enough money at the end of the pay period.
Treatments
- Budgeting Somewhat Helpful
- I very rarely, but sometimes forget to write down a debit card transaction. We are so tight that this sometimes results in overdraft/ ISF charges, which puts us into the negative :(
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
My husband and I are going to try to quit smoking tomorrow. I am very nervous and scared!
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- I had quit for 2 months- Why did I ever start again?!
Open Migraine Headaches
My husband suffers from migraine headaches. I wish I could help him! Any suffestions or advice would be helpful!
Open High Blood Pressure
My husband has high blood pressure and doesn't take his meds. I am always scared. I want to find other ways to help bring down his BP.
Open Infertility
I have PCOS and we have been trying to have a baby for 3 years.
Treatments
- Clomid Somewhat Helpful
- When I tool clomid (3 cycles) I only may have ovulated with the 3rd cycle. If I did, the egg was poor quality.
- Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
- I am taking folic acid now.
Open Bereavement
Treatments
- Crying Too Soon to Tell
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Remembering Somewhat Helpful
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
