I've never had regular cycles and they have always been very painful I was put on BC at 13 now I'm 23 and married have been for 4years been trying to conceive and miscarried once I had a period in August and the next one I had was Jan 1st nothing until three days ago I felt the need to urinate and when I wiped I was spotting but it only lasted maybe 3hrs no cramps or anything and nothing since?

Have you been diagnosed with endomitriosis? Polycystic Ovaries?

This is really something that you need to follow up with your OB/GYN.

[cvfd601wife]

They have not diagnosed me with either but I am about positive I have pcos I do not have insurance so my obgyn would not do all these tests I don't know what to do:(

[J_9]

It's not unusual to have an off period. One that is very short, or very long, completely missed, two in one month. You get my drift. ;)

If you are not experiencing any unusual discharge, fever or pain. Most likely this was just an unusual period.

[cvfd601wife]

Okay I just wonder what my options are I've been given clomid 3 times with no luck and I do not want to go back on BC we are trying to conceive

Without insurance your options are very limited at this point. There are several tests that will need to be run in order to find out exactly what your diagnosis is and how to treat it properly to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

Pregnancy and delivery are very expensive for a simple healthy pregnancy. Add any complications and the cost increases dramatically.

I do understand that I do know when I had my miscarriage it was not confirmed until I went to the gym the day of but the ct scan the er done revealed multiple cysts on my ovaries the weight gain not excessive but noticeable hair growth on my upper lip chin and stomach leads me to think pcos mother had emdomitriosis is it hereditary?

[J_9]

Endometriosis can indeed be hereditary. However, from what you posted about the CT results, I am more inclined to believe it may be PCOS. Your symptoms seem to fit.

Again, though, without insurance, this will be costly for you. It will be even more costly should you become pregnant as that would put you in a high risk category.

If you can't get insurance through your work, or your husbands work, is there a chance you could look into getting private insurance?

[cvfd601wife]

My employer only supplies to full time there and I have considered getting private ins my husbands employer pays for his but to add me on with no underlying health issues wants way too much can you tell me about pcos what I can do to help

[J_9]

There isn't much you can do besides eating a healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight.

Your husbands insurance would be less costly than private insurance. Once baby comes, who will provide the insurance? Pediatricians visits with vaccinations can cost upwards of $200 a visit. There can be several visits per month.

I understand you wanting to have a baby, I really do. But you have to think this through with not just your heart, but with your head and your bank account in mind.

[cvfd601wife]

Adding me on through his company will cost a little over one thousand dollars we can not afford that and I do appreciate the advise!

[J_9]

One thousand per month? Just delivering a baby is upwards of three to four thousand dollars. That's just the hospital bill, not the prenatal care or care of the child after it is born.

Just food for thought.
