Infertility issues,, please help!?

Question

I dont have any insurance right now.. :(

Answer 1

There are some things you can take to help you ovulate.  Since you have PCOS your gyn. can give you metformin and maybe even clomid.  The metformin can regulate your blood sugar and in turn it can help you ovulate, chances are they will start you on this.  If after a couple of months you are still not ovulated they may give you clomid which sends a message to your pituitary glad to stimulate ovulation.  It may take a couple of months for the ovulation to take place.  My cousin has PCOS and just gave birth to a healthy baby girl.  What worked for her was letrozole with IUI- she got pregnant the first month this way.  I would start by seeing your Dr. and see what they have to say, but you should feel confident with a little help you will become pregnant.  Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

I haven't tried anything like that and my husband and I have only been trying for seven months, but I'll just state the obvious.. if you haven't seen a specialist yet, do. You can find a great and affordable one and he or she will address those issues for you and get you on the right track. There are so many options for you, don't waste time and money on products created to make money. The best of luck and lost of baby dust to you!

Answer 3

Have you sought out a reproductive endocrinologist/fertility specialist?  I fyou know you have PCOS and you suspect you are not ovulating, you really should consult a specialist.

EDIT:  Well, sorry to say, the insurance situation is something you really need to get straightened out before you try to conceive.  If you were to get pregnant, how would you meet the costs of prenatal care and delivery?  And what about the baby's medical needs after it is born?  THe costs of having a baby are astronomical, even if you have a pretty straightforward pregnancy and delivery.  When my son was born, I ended up having an unexpected c-section, and the hospital bill alone (not including my OB's bill for prenatal care, the surgery, and my aftercare, or the pediatrician's bill) was over $40,000!  There is no way I could have paid that out of pocket.  Having insurance to cover these things, not to mention the visits to a fertility specialist, is really a must.

Perhaps you or your husband could see about finding another job that offers a health insurance plan.  Even if it means taking a small pay cut, it will be well worth it in the long run.
