Hi all,
I'm sorry if the following is long and rambly but I am at my wits end with this and don't know where else to turn, I'm sick of reading hundreds bits of different info on the internet!
I am 28 years old and weigh 234lbs. I have around this weight give or take 20lbs since 18 years old. I stopped having periods at the age of 20 and went to my doctors after about 5 months. The Dr explained I was overweight and it could be PCOS. I went for a scan and the nurse there confirmed they could see PCO and sent the result back to my Dr's. He confirmed it and as I wasn't anywhere near ready to have children with my boyfriend, I was put on cerazette for a conceptrative pills and didn't have a period for 3 years. Didn't bother going back to the Dr's and stopped taking the pills and have been using condoms with my now fiancée for these 11 years.
Now we are getting married at the end of this year but still are not ready for children for another few years. However I have lost some weight this year and have had 6 periods this year which I was thrilled about. I recently changed Dr's and made an appnt to talk about hopefully starting a new concep pill. The Dr mentioned a mini pill and Metformin and ultimately prescribed Metformin. I explained I wasn't really looking for this as I was having periods now, not ready for children and I want a concep pill. I took the prescription and didn't bother taking any and made a new appnt for today. Walked into the room and sat down and before I said anything the Dr said we need you to go for a blood test and a form was sent to you. I explained I hadn't received a form but would happily go. I took the form and it says PCO's Habl test required. Then he says how are you getting on with the Metformin and I was honest and said I didn't take it because I am having periods and I want a concep pill. He then says yes but we need your ovaries to work in case you want a baby in the future?! I was so angry, way to make me feel incapable as a women! Also, I have never mentioned wanting to start a family at the moment so not sure why this was bought up. Silly me accepted it and just took the repeat prescription and left.
I'm in tears now and don't know where to turn. All I wanted to do is 'feel normal' on my honeymoon and have a concep pill to control the periods for the month I am away so I can swim and not have to use condoms (so sorry if this is TMI)!
Can an anybody give any advice? Is it worth me keep losing weight and just going back in the New Year and demanding a mini/combined pill if my BMI is then under 35? I don't want to use Metformin yet, I am sure it may be of use in the future if/when I do decide to have children. Again sorry for rambling and thanks for listening.
