Hi!
I'm Gabby (22) and my partner of two years is Scott (22). We reside in Christchurch. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 and had been on the contraceptive pill since then to regulate my periods, reduce pain & the very unwanted excess hair. On May 23rd we decided I would come off the pill and start TTC. I'm currently in the 2ww, testing on 23rd of June! Just thought I'd introduce myself

Hi Gabby! I have PCOS as well, and am currently on metformin to try and regulate my periods. Specialist also has me down for day 21 blood tests to check if I'm ovulating.
It's never easy when you're already starting 2 steps behind everyone else, but I'm sure we'll get there in the end. Good luck with your 2WW! (P.S. I'm over in the planning pregnancy board, 'TTC and under 30', if you ever want to chat.) ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |
