Update.....
Thought everyone would like to hear what's going on lately.....
Well, I'm participating in a Medical Research Study on PCOS women and how the use of Metformin & Clomid in aiding conception in PCO women. They pay for all the testing and meds, and take care of everything, even 6-8 weeks of prenatal care if I do get preggo.
Anyway, Michelle, my doctor took bloodwork from me about a month ago, and put me on 10 days of Provera to stop me horrendous bleeding, and induce a period. Then I was to wait for the bleeding to stop again.
Well, it stopped...for the first time since AUGUST of '03!!!! I was elated, and then the last 2 days on the provera, the bleeding came back :(. It was REALLY bad this time...even worse than before...and THAT was bad. So, I bled...and it got worse...I was wearing 2 tampons at a time, and 2 extra long maxi pads, and then changing that every 2 hours, and everytime I sat on the toilet (not to urinate, butto change feminine products), it souded like someone was pouring tea from a teapot into the toilet...the bleeding was that bad.
THEN (GOD BLESS YOU!!!!) One of the wonderful ladies from my online PCOS Support Group submitted a web link talking about "PCO Bleeders" and how HIGH DOSES OF COD LIVER OIL stopped the bleeding...THIS WORKS!!!!!!!!

I've been taking 20 capsules of Cod Liver oil every morning, and By the second day of taking them, my bleeding was cut in half, and by day four, there was NO BLEEDING AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! That was 2 weeks ago now, and I'm still BLOOD FREE!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
So, I have to give my thanks to this wonderful lady...whoever you
are! :)
Anyway, I have another appointment to do the whole provera thing
again in 2 weeks. I'll keep you all updated. Oh yeah...I've been
taking prenatal vitamins...WHAT A LOAD OF ENGERY I HAVE NOW!!!!!
AWESOME!
i took this from an update on my PCO support group site...same thing, and I didn't feel like re-typing it. So, things look good so far...on that end at least. This May/Mother's Day marked the 5th year that I had a forced miscarriage (with ex-husband, due to abuse)...and it's been rough...especially all the baby dedications...and planning a baby shower for my brother in law's baby girl who is due in July....and how I have a low chance of conceiving again...yeah....it all sucks. Oh well....at least I have you on here, Tito... You always seem to brighten my day :)
Later w/ more updates soon.......
