This Is What’s Really Scary

What’s really scary about being diagnosed with PCOS is what your doctor says next.”Now we’re going to go ahead and give you a laparoscopy, MMMMMK?”

“We’re just going to check for cysts inside your body, MMMMMMK?”

I wanted to scream: NO IT’S NOT OK! IT’S FREAKIN SCARY!

Next he says, “Well I strongly recommend that you start taking Metformin and Birth Control right away.”

My friends will laugh about this… because they know I’m one of those yoga-loving, green tea swilling, holistic healing type of gals. NO WAY did I want to put these drugs into my body. I said something to the effect of…

“I don’t know how to put this, but lactic acidosis, diarrhea, cramping, nausea, vomiting, vitamin malabsorption… that just doesn’t jive with me. I don’t want to be on this nightmare drug you speak of.”

Fine. Suit yourself. That’s what your doctor will say. If you don’t want expensive and invasive treatments, you’re S.O.L. I’m afraid. Don’t you know this is what the American Medical System is based on, lady?

    I AM laughing about this, girl! It would be like asking a breeder to give their dog up to the SPCA! You and drugs? Not gonna happen! Glad you found something that worked, doll. You’re going to make a spectacular mommy.

    I am on month #3. The only side effect I had was a touch of nausea one day when I took it without eating anything. Since then, I’ve always taken it with meals and it works fine. So far it has really regulated my crazy hormones and made my AF come more regularly. I can even chart my ovulation accurately now!

      You can start taking it any time… and yes, continue to take 1 pill a day all through your period until you are pregnant.

    Hello… just wanted to share my story. I once had it all – was happily married to my husband Dan with 3 beautiful children – my two sons Rayce (3) and derek (4), and my daughter Anya (2). They were all taken from me suddenly one October evening… he was picking the kids up from school and they were hit by a drunk driver who was speeding away from happy hour. I nearly fell apart, but I have been able to find love again with my new husband Mike. We have been ttc for a year now and it has been really an emotional ride at times. I came across articles about fertibella and really want to give it a try. I’m just looking for some insight.. does it work? Thanks for taking the time to listen.

    I have PCOS and used Fertibella as a cure too. It took me 5 months, which I guess is unusual, but it did eventually straighten me out!

  8. Hope says:

    i learned a lot of new things about pcos and infertility here. i’ve been taking fertibella for 3 months.

  11. louise says:

    I’m saving up my pennies for this. Being diagnosed with pcos has been hard. At least I know what my issue is, but it feels so hopeless because most of the treatments are pretty invasive. I would rather try a suppliment first.
