Well I am glad you got in to see a doctor.
I am in a similar boat to where you were so I feel your frustration. I have known I had PCOS since I was 13 and the last I saw my doctor on CD25 it looked as if I had O'd on CD19. The next day my temps dropped :-( She told me not to let me cycle go past CD35 without a period. CD35 came and went without AF. I called her to set up an appt. and I couldn't get one until SEPT 6th - C'MON!!!! So here I am CD75 and very frustrated.
I hope the meds work well for you and provera doesn't cause you too much pain. I can't wait until I can get to the doctor and get some meds myself. My body keeps teasing me with spotting and then disappearing!!! So frustrating.
PM me if you ever want to talk about your frustrations!
ETA: I am also jealous of you that you told your mom. I haven't told mine yet. Not because I don't want her to know but that I am so frustrated with my body not doing what it's supposed to I am not ready to talk to her about it yet.
Aside from the unpleasant ultrasound (don't guys know it hurts to "dig" around up there!?) it sounds like it went pretty well. Although you don't quite have a diagnosis, you do have a plan and that's a good thing.
I think it's great that you told you mom. When I was actively TTC (several failed rounds of Femara/Clomid and my DH having a blockage, we're now taking a year off), it was so great to have a support system to talk to when things got rough. I couldn't have imagined not having someone to share those rough feelings with.
I went through a lot to get where I am (mentally and physically) so feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need to chat!
@Future Mrs. Martin:I'm sorry you won't get in for a while! When I originially made my appt. I wanted to go with the female doctor, but she wasn't available till Oct. 31! HOly crap!!! I was not about to wait that long...so I just went with the male and got in a week later and I'm so happy I did. Do you know what provera is like? I was showing my DH the side effects of each one and he was like, "Well, you'll be used to being pregnant before you actually are."
@Candy_Nee:I felt really bad for the nurse and doctor. At one point the nurse was telling me that they'll get me my baby and I started to cry...in walks the doctor and you could tell he felt kind of awkward. The ultrsound was pretty bad...after 10 or so minutes my legs started to shake so bad and I was grimacing and they probably thought I was pathetic:( Thank you so much and I'm comforted to feel that I'm not alone in this:)
@JewishBride: I'm sorry you're going through this. And I think it's great that you're telling your mom...moms can be good support in this. I had my first infertility consult last week and I had an unltrasound, similar instructions (take blood and sperm tests) and she told me to try another 6 months (it's been 13 months) with ovulations tests. Next step is clomid too. I have irregular cycles and they are about 28-47 days. She said that is most likely the reason we can't get pregnant yet. So, best wishes to you and hope you conceive soon! We are here for you!
@DanielleZara:I really hope you have a little bundle of joy soon! Don't you hate irregular cycles?! I wish I had the perfect 28 days:( When I told my doctor that I was going on cd50 he said "well, you might be pregnant and we can stop talking right here." I just gave him a look like, yeah right! Good luck in the next 6 months and hopefully you won't have to move on to clomid!
I wanted to send lots of good thoughts your way, I know this is a long frustrating struggle, but too important not to pursue.
You are not alone! But isn't finding a great doctor who knows right away something is up a great feeling? Feel free to PM me if you ever want to talk, I have been dealing with the treatment/waiting for a few months now.
@JewishBride: Yeah, it sucks. I always think hey maybe I'm late but then I realize no this is probably just another long cycle. I think I've only had 1 or 2 28 day cycles in my life. I hope you get pregnant soon too!! And I hope your talk with your mom went well. Keep us updated!
I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I am glad you are on the path towards getting some answers!
IDK why I didn't see this sooner. But sending lots of (((HUGS))) your way! Good luck with your next appt. & let us know how it all goes!

So, I went to the dr. yesterday and I think it went well. I was incredibly nervous! I had to wait an hour past my appointment time b/c he was delivering a baby. He finally came in and I told him about all my symptoms I was having and how I'm on CD50 and he told me to take a urine hpt. Of course it came out negative, but I still had a glimmer of hope:( After an hpt I usually give myself a day 10 minutes to cry and so I was pretty devastated, but had to go on telling him about my cycles.
He then said that he was going to give me the 2 types of ultrasounds, an exam, and a blood test to check my hormones. At that point I didn't care what he wanted to do (I'm very nervous for anything that has to so with dr.'s or any type of discomfort and need days to prepare) I usually squirm at needles, but I was numb inside. Well, this was my first ever pelvic exam and luckily I felt very comfortable with him and wasn't nervous at all.
I got to see my empty womb and it took him about 15 minutes to find one ovary and gave up on finding the other one since it was painful very uncomfortable for me. He said that was normal. I'm guessing he wasn't the gentlest obgyn out there, but he has a "let's not mess around" attitude I liked. He spent quite a bit of time with me (1.5 hours) going over everything, not that I could understand everything he said with his heavy syrian accent! He prescribed me clomid (as expected) and provera to start my cycle. I'm not sure if he said I had pcos or not, I guess I'll ask him during my next appointment.
Thank you for all of your support! I'm sorry if my post sounds choppy or all over the place. That's how I've been feeling lately:( Oh, and I decided to tell my mother we're ttc today so that I don't have to hide everything going on in my life!
