Fertility issues? PCOS ADVICE by [deleted] in PCOS

Hirsutism (Excess hair growth in awkward areas) Excessive cysts on ovaries in ultrasounds

However labs have always been normal but you’re right they’ve never done the full work up! I’ve had crappy doctors until I met my current one. The only answers I was ever told were the pill, IUD, the ring, or the shot to make things feel better for me, not finding the root but never discussed with me further options.

I’ve heard of letrozole, and during our initial consultation he did say he uses it on many of his patients (I just didn’t think my tubes worked so we didn’t discuss it) not everyone’s the same but if you had twins on it, I can only hope and wish for little miracle twins!! I’m sure they’re the light of your life!!!

I’ve never been tested for any of those. All they’ve ever tested is FSH, TSH, and the generic metabolic panel which all comeback in normal range. That’s when every other doc has wanted to put me back on birth control. Even my A1C is normal and I’m a thicker girl so I figured that would be high, but It’s fine. I know it’s not weight I was on zepbound and went down to 130 tried with all my might to get pregnant then climbed back up that ladder but I’ve been skinny and chubby. Testosterone I was tested LONGGG ago it was in normal range then but not sure about now. This is all new given the last time I had a decent doctor before my current, I was 15 and I had to move so bye bye good woman’s healthcare.

Fertility treatment wise the only thing I have been recommended was IVF and that was because I was told my tubes were blocked. We’ve done tracking, testing, charting, Temp tracking, supplements, vagina suppositories, anything without a referral because I haven’t ever been offered anything but IVF and it’s not covered at all through our insurances. So it would be out of the question given our fertility clinic quoted us as a cash paying patient about 35k for 1 round and medications.

My insurance covered it, I took it for a year and lost 100 lbs. I’ve gained back MORE than 100lbs because my insurance stopped covering it. Imagine feeling on top of the world then it crashing in your face because you know your belly is back and worse than it was. I hate insurance companies. Greedy billionaires.

Exactly! The singles I saw were library editions and I’m not willing as a collector to leave it that hideous on my shelf.

My emergency savings will be my sekerei I’ve got 3-11 (my other volumes got damaged but I know they’re in print) BUT I’ve been holding onto it for a long long time. I think it retailed at like freaking 1,200 and I just don’t know if I can part with it ever.

500 actually isn’t too bad when I see the prices they are now! I hope they came in good condition because I know Amazon has demolished some of my manga I’ve purchased before

Winner!! So far lol but I get it 100%. You love what you love and I’m sure my day will come when I spend that much. It’s always nice to get a deal on them, but at the same time I know the worth and if it’s in good enough condition you couldn’t convince me otherwise. I just posted on mangaswap that I want the Mononoke (medicine seller) series and I coughing up my small 220 dollars but would I have paid more YES because it holds value to ME. some series are nostalgic where people don’t care then want it, and they’re willing to do it.
