Hello Beautiful Ladies,
This is a post about my journey with PCOD and Pregnancy. I am writing this post to share my experience while I was going thru the treatment and the results. I will try and accommodate my thoughts in the shortest possible manners. You can comment below if you want to discuss on details or send me an email (proudtobeawoman2014@gmail.com)
(Sorry for not sharing the names of the medicines here but surely you can get that in the emails you send for it.)
I am an Indian and staying in a Tier II city which is also an IT hub in India. I started with my periods when I was 13 years old (1997). Since beginning they were regular without any problem. Throughout my life I have always carried some extra weight and never was a a thin or a normal weighing girl. But with that I had active lifestyle. I got married in the year 2009 and just before marriage I went on a crash diet to look and feel good for it. Where I used to starve myself. I think that mistake triggered my PCOD.
I and my husband were very cautious about our family planning and dint wanted a child for 3 years. So he always used protection. Once in a while if we were not sure about then I popped up a medicine which is used within 72 hours to avoid pregnancy. I took this medicine 3 times in an duration of 1 and half year. May be that huge dosage of hormones took me towards PCOD.
The 3rd and final reason I thing which lead me to this problem was the eating habits. Before marriage I loved to eat but not in big portions. Even my diet was not too high on non vegetarian food. I used to love variety of food but not the quantity. But after marriage I got a foodie company and I & my hubby went out to eat and try a lot of stuff. He even loves non veg so I also started getting used to it. This is how my whole diet intake increased and I put on 10 kgs in a year which I lost before marriage.
In 2011 Feb, I went for a Thyroid test and found that my TSH level was bit high whereas T3 and T4 were absolutely normal. So the doctor put me on Thyronorm 25 mg. I am taking this medicine till Date. Since , April 2011 I stopped getting my periods. I ignored it for 3 months but finally I went to gyny for the consultation.
She put me on a medicine to get my periods and then a medicine to be taken for the 2nd day till the 5th for the ovulation. She even called me for ovulation monitoring for a month and asked me to continue with the medicine for the later months to get my periods regularly. Later I found out from other doctor that the medicine was good to get ovulated but once I get pregnant it might results into the early abortions and it is even banned in few countries. (Please read the reviews online or consult one of more doctors before going for this kind of treatment).
I immediately stopped that medicine and consulted a new doctor in July 2012 for the problem. She suggested me the Thyroid and another ovulation medicine and the most important thing weight loss. She even asked me to go for an Internal Sonography where I found out that I had a slightly bulky ovaries which is causing all the drama and the permanent cure for this was to loss weight.
I endlessly tried to loss weight by going on a diet and dint give much importance to EXERCISE. Which was my biggest MISTAKE. This went for a year I took medicines and I got my periods, but in between for 2 months I had my natural chums coz I taking dance lessons that time, which I realized later was the reason.
Finally in September 2013, I went to my doctor for the treatment to get pregnant. And the real hell stared from that very moment. I still feel the pain that I went through for those 6 months.
The doctor put me on the fertility medicine and ovulation monitoring starting from the 11th day. Near the ovulation she prescribed me an injection to ovulated and intercourse. This went for 4 months till December. I always did a in-depth online research on the treatment she was giving me and everything was good enough.
In January 2014, she asked me to go for a treatment called HSG for check my Fallopian tubes. I consulted few more doctors before taking that treatment and finally I decided to go for it with the same old doctor.
I should say I was one of the worst day of my life. In OT that to on a Labor table she inserted a liquid to check the flow through the tubes. An X-ray print and a CD was given to me. Being one of the best hospitals the quality of the results were pathetic. Even the doctor performing the test was not sure said that both my tubes were of no use and now I should opt for IVF or adoption.
The results were such that the other doctors were also not able to give any suggestion. I lost all my hopes and dint get any vibe to go ahead for any futher treatment.
Finally in Feb 2014 after my periods on 8th, I and my hubby decided to leave everything and try naturally for a year and then go for IVF. So now no more medicines, no ovulation monitoring and other stuff. We just had intercourse twice that month without any decided dates around ovulation or something.
To kill the frustration I was going through, I started running and this time I did something right in the direction of losing weight. In March I dint get my periods thinking that I was not on any medication.
One of friend suggest a doctor who is a very good gyny to treated this problem. I dont know what force drived me to again consult a doctor for this before an year. So on 22nd March I took the doctor's appointment at 10 AM. As suggested before going for any such treatment or consultation, we had to take the home pregnancy test.
At 7.30 AM when I woke up and took the test with the complete hopeless heart and mind , I was shocked to see the results. The device had 2 lines which means it was positive and I was PREGNANT. I and my hubby sat with it for 15 minutes with a complete shock.
It was the miraculous moment for us and instead of PCOD we consultated the new doctor for pregnancy :). I really dont know that worked for us. The exercise, the faith in God or the first step towards positive thinking or the past treatments....but something worked.
Now its my 6th month with the lovely baby movements. Really praying things to work fine throughout.
So here is my story, please comment with yours and remember, Its just you who have believe and change the things :)
