[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 513689, member: 1233"] I think that PCOS is probably a reasonable thing to be suspicious of. I had HORRIBLE ovaries and didn't even know it until my hysterectomy. I also had thyroid problems, but from autoimmune issues. The pill didn't help me, mostly because it gave just enough hormones to get me pregnant. 3 mos on the pill and I got pregnant - twice. Both times using 2 other forms of bc with the pill! (This is why my husband walked around like he was 10ft tall and bulletproof for a month after we found out I was preg - esp since i was told at age 19 or so that I could not get pregnant ever. He really he thought he was superman, lol.) They did all the tests for PCOS, even did a non-pregnant glucose tolerance test and got NO abnormal results. But when the gyn went in to take them out, he was totally shocked at how bad they were. He expected some degree of PCOS, but not nearly what I had. He told us that no one in the hospital had ever seen ovaries that bad, esp in a woman who had no trouble ever getting pregnant. Why does she think she cannot get pregnant? If it is because PCOS, lots of women have that and have lots of kids. My two high school bffs each had 3-4 kids and we ALL had PCOS and problems long before we had kids. So I hoep the gyn can get through and change that thought pattern. The docs gave me six reasons why I could not get preg and also could nto carry a child to term. God laughed and I have 3 kids all full term. Well, thank you could have been called a premie but only by around 30 hours. She really NEEDS to be truly committed to birth control no matter what or she should NOT have the accutane. proactive can be very helpful. Walmart sells a version taht is very close but I don't know the name. It has the same 3 steps and Jess did a science project using proactive on one side of her face and the walmart version on the ohter and saw no difference. Obviously different people get different results, but it is what her results were. A regular gyn should be able to help get the initial diagnosis of PCOS. Reproductive endocrinologists can be hard to find outside of fertility centers, and around here the gyn treats the problem of PCOS unless the case is very complex. You should contact her regular endocrinologist and see if they will help with the PCOS issues with her gyn. [/QUOTE]
