You just never know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134342 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 11:28:59 +0000 sarac 1134342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that the fact that you conceived easily the first time should be a huge reassuring factor. PCOS can be overcome, and a translocation is often just a matter of patiently trying until you achieve a good outcome. Your road is certainly more convoluted, but it is totally manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134290 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 10:45:31 +0000 red_seattle 1134290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should also add that I'm aware how irrational it is to be worried until I get confirmation of PCOS. But fear is not always rational. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134289 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 10:43:36 +0000 red_seattle 1134289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: that does help some. No matter what, X will have a sibling. But I'm sad mostly because we're years away from being able to afford IVF + PGD or adoption. I'm just trying to accept that, worst case scenario, that my dream is deferred. I had my heart set on another child in the next 2-3 years. Now it could be 5+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134144 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 08:59:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1134144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a lot to have to worry about, but I'd say take things one step at a time. To me (and I know not everyone feels this way), I'd start with the assumption that I for sure would be having another child one way or another. Either naturally, through IVF/PGD or adoption. Knowing that would help ease my fears and help me continue down the path with a calm heart. Don't know if that helps, but it works for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134059 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 06:48:30 +0000 swedishfish 1134059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs :heart: if it is PCOS perhaps ask your doctor to try Metformin. That regulates cycles for some women. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balanced-translocation-pcos#post-1134016 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 03:50:25 +0000 red_seattle 1134016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping the bees will be able to calm me down a bit, and help me stay positive. </p> <p>I've mentioned a couple of times that I have a translocation, which results in something like a 25-30% of either miscarriage or passing on a terminal (as in, death soon after birth) condition. Anyway, we were incredibly lucky in conceiving our healthy little X easily-- no miscarriages, conceived without really trying, (we were just going with the flow) etc. Very lucky and very blessed.</p> <p>Now, we're hoping to TTC for #2 sometime in the coming year. But since X weaned a year ago, my cycles haven't really regulated. They seem to be getting more irregular. I've had 2 anovulatory cycles in the last 4 months. My doctor suspects PCOS-- maybe fibroids. I have an ultrasound scheduled for this week to check for both-- or anything else. </p> <p>So-- here I am with one issue that makes it challenging to conceive babies that will survive-- but now I'm looking at possibly having another. I know each of these issues can be overcome on their own-- but I don't know what happens in the event of both. And that prospect is making me so sad and anxious/scared. Help? </p>
