I need help becoming pregnant with PCOS?

Question

Please help. I am a 30 year old woman without any children and I've been diagnosed with PCOS. My Dr. prescribed glucophage, and clomid. Has anyone had a similar experience and does anyone have any tips to help me become pregnant? My husband and I will take all advice into account.

Answer 1

I'm 23 and have PCOS also.  My dr. prescribed Metformin and Clomid, the Metformin is a diabetic drug that helps regulate you but it didn't work for me.  We tried Clomid for 3 months and it didn't work but then we realized that we have male fertility problems too, so we're battling two problems.  If you are taking the Clomid just time it right with ovulation predictors and keep your hips in the air!  Good Luck to you!

Answer 2

Medication seems to have varied results with different women. Though metformin seems to have had some positive feedback. This article might shed some more light on some more natural solutions though:

PCOS and Getting Pregnant - What You Need to Know

PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome known as PCOS has some very important ramifications for women who are trying to become pregnant. If you are one of the estimated 10% of women who suffer from this condition you may have serious problems when trying to conceive because of the odd hormonal imbalance in your body. This means PCOS and getting pregnant are not a good mix and even if you do become pregnant the chance of miscarriage is much higher than other women!

The problem with PCOS is the increased levels of male hormones such as testosterone that defective ovaries produce. While all women have some testosterone it is only about one seventh of what a man has and the female body is not built to have so much of this hormone. This condition seriously affects a woman's menstrual cycle as it interferes with the hormone signals that tell the various parts of the body when they need to release the egg and build up the womb to be ready for a possible baby. Women may suffer from irregular menstrual cycles that are too far apart or too close together or sometimes not at all! Picking the right time to become pregnant through all of this and a confused body is very hard and is risky for the baby as well.
