PCOS...has anyone dealt with this? what are your experiences as far as conceiving?

I was diagnosed with having PCOS over a year ago. My doctor put me on metformin last september. I was on clomid, which didn't work and I had 2 unsuccessful inseminations. My husband and I decided to stop our fertility treatments after the IUI's. I've been without my fertility doctor since this past January, but I didn't stop taking the met. I had refills up until May and needless to say, that's when I finally conceived! My husband and I were ttc for 4 years so this is truly a blessing!

Don't lose faith -- it'll happen! Good luck and baby dust to you!!!

I don't have any experience with PCOS but there is a website that I go to about trying to conceive and it has a large section on it for women who deal with PCOS and trying to conceive..If you are interested it is www.tryingtoconceive.com.

Hope this helps.

I have PCOS and am right now waiting to find out if our IUI was successful (3 days to test day!).

PCOS makes it more difficult to get pregnant, but not impossible. It can definitely be done. You should check out a website like www.soulcysters.com for lots of info and support for women with PCOS.

yes i am 24 with 2 kids and while tryin to conceive our 3rd i found out i had pcos, dr put me on metformin and within 6-8 weeks we got preg. if that hadnt worked he would have put me on clomid a fertility drug. its not impossible to get preg with this syndome but if you get preg there is a great chance of miscariage without the metformin

I have pcos. I took metformin and got pregnant pretty easy. My daughter will be 3 Sunday!

Good luck

I was diagnosed about 1 year ago and was prescribed Glucophage(metformin) and clomid. I have been on the medication since then, I am still waiting for my blessing! I hope this doesn't discourage, just remember everyone is different. Good luck and baby dust to you!!

I personally had a possibility of having PCOS. But after further testing, it was ruled out, but it has never been solved. But my good friend was diagnosed with it in April after being mis diagnosed a few times. Her and her husband had been trying to concieve for years, and after that diagnosis, at least they knew where to go. (they've been trying for 4 years) Since she is a little overweight, they put her on metformin a diabetic med, to help her with insulin resistance, to try to help bring her weight down. The doctor said that just a reduction in 10% of your body weight can help you concieve. And she was on that alone for a few months. But then her periods wouldn't stop. So he put her on metformin and birth controll pills to get her to stop bleeding. But birth control pills taken with the metformin helps regulate your cycle, but you can still get pregnant. And after a few months of that not working, she is on metformin and clomid now. Clomid is a pill fertility drug. And you useually ovulate and concieve by the 3rd cycle (month) of taking it, and she is on her second month right now. She bought a saliva ovulation test kit, and it has said that she hasn't ovulated, but she has other signs of her ovulating. So for her in particular its been rough, and shes still not pregnant. I don't know details of your case, but it might be similar, or completely opposite!

whilst my emotional discomfort have been given too undesirable and that i could no longer get the help i mandatory, no rely what steps I took or who I asked for help (ER, family contributors, friends), i ultimately dissociated (started seeing myself from exterior my physique. I see this as my soul being so bored with the discomfort and what i became going to try this it had to leave. I went approximately my common ordinary. i might desire to nonetheless examine communications in first person, yet i became separated from myself. in the process that factor I lost reminiscence of what i became doing. There are factors the place my days are blackness. Then I truthfully have memories of pills in my arms--memories of hallucinations, seizures, charcol, etc. severe emotional discomfort can't be skipped over. It hangs around. in case you have a pastor, you are able to communicate along with her or him, yet you are able to prefer a psychiatrist to get by way of this. in case you are able to no longer have sufficient funds an appointment with a private psychiatrist, pass to a low earnings hospital. God positioned psychiatrists here for a reason. you do no longer might desire to go through with this severe discomfort if it rather is relieved. in case you had a broken leg, does no longer you have a physician set it and positioned it in a solid? does no longer you're taking the prescribed drugs whilst the discomfort became too plenty? Emotional discomfort is not any diverse. Ignoring a deep decrease, hoping it is going to heal will possibly carry approximately an infection and scarcity of the arm if no longer demise from gangrene. Ignoring emotional discomfort, hoping it is going to easily pass away, will possibly carry approximately worse discomfort and demise from a self-inflicted ability. do no longer take opportunities. Get help Bless you and sturdy luck.
