Answer 1

i have pcos. just found out june 08. at first i thought i couldnt conceive, but the doc said you can conceive.  find out from ur doc if the pcos is mild, moderate or severe.  im on clomid. i take them on day 2 to 6 if my cycle. lessen the bad carbohydrates and exercise alot. this help lessen the symptoms of pcos.  ive been tryin for a year.  dont feel alone. dont panic. follow ur doctors advice. maybe there is a reason ur doc dont want to give u clomid.  clomid only helps u ovulate.  im on my second round of clomid 50mg. my day 21 test the first month show i ovulated. so now im tryn again. go to www.soulcycters.com they have info on pcos.  with pcos it just takes longer b4 u can get preg.  good luck to u. email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

I was diagnosed with PCOS 10 years ago.  Tried clomid and it didn&#039;t help at all.  I decided to research on my own ways to help.  Found that PCOS is caused by insulin resistance and that you should treat yourself like a diabetic.  The less carbs like breads, pastas, sweets, cereals and rice you eat the better.  You should also watch sugary drinks.  I lost 50 lbs just with a carb restricted diet eating like a diabetic and now I am due with my 3rd son in Oct.  

Answer 3

I also have pcos, I was diagnois with it Apirl 07 but I think I had it ever since I hit puberty, I also have ireguler periods and some of its nastiest syptoms that goes along with it, no need to feel as if its not going to happen because it will, HSG is for them to check your tubes to make sure its clear, when it comes to pcos your dr should have put you on metformin right away (I call this pill the miracle pill) when I started out on metformin I got reguler cycles and some o my nasty sypmtoms started to went away.

Pcos is a disorder thats cause by hormone imbalance, it developes when the male hormone (testrone) is higher then the female hormones. When the male hormones are higher it causes us not to have a reguler cycle and also causes us not to ovulate.

Ovulation is when a mature egg is release from the ovaries and passes threw the fallopian tube to be fertilize. Instead of our egg getting mature it stays on the ovaries and turns into small peas size cycts call Poly Cyctic Ovaries.

SUCCESS STORY:

I got pregnant on metformin 1500mg and clomid 50mg, it took me 6 months on metformin and 7 cycles of clomid.

There are herbs that can help us get pregnant but I haven&#039;t heard any success personally from anyone, the herb is call vitex. If you are over weight its best to try lose a few lbs. Also cut back on carbs and take your multivitamins daily, try to relax and think happy thoughs. it&#039;ll happen when you least expect it.

The very same month when I gave up I got my BFP

Answer 4

I have PCOS too and don&#039;t normally ovulate on my own. I would go anywhere from 50 to 100+ days with no period.. and when it did come.. OH BOY was it painful!

I found a great support group at soulcysters.net (click on the forums, then go to alternative remedies) I was super pleased to find out there are literally DOZENS of alternative treatments for PCOS so I decided to try a few of the most popular ones

I started taking Vitex capsules in October (after not having my period for over 3 months already) and less than 2 weeks later I got AF!!!!!!!!!!!! But I decided not to count my chickens before they hatched because it might have just been a coincidence... I am a very skeptical person and I have to *see* it to believe it.

Lo and behold exactly 31 days later I got my period AGAIN!!!!! That is UNHEARD OF for me!  

I never knew I would be so excited to get my period and my boyfriend thought I had gone crazy for being so happy about it lmao

I ran out of my Vitex capsules around the end of Februrary this year and so I decided to take a break from it and see what happened...

Well... I ended up not getting my period again until JUNE.

I got fed up and reordered my Vitex (I get them super cheap from vitamins.com) The first cycle back on the vitex I had a 34 day cycle! Not only that but my fertility signs tell me that Im about to ovulate again in the next day or so, which means another 35 day (or so) cycle!

So if you are going to try an herbal remedy I suggest getting yourself some Chaste-tree berry (Vitex) capsules!

Also, do some more research and see what the ladies say on soulcysters.net alternative remedies section. Once you get your periods under control you can start to track your BBT temperatures and cervical mucus so you can know how to better time your love making ^_^

I wish you all the best of luck and I hope u get your period soon!

Answer 5

ok please calm down, i understand your frustration as i am in the same situation as you, only i have been trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years. . . PCOS is when you miss your periods and your body does not release eggs when you have your period, therefore you dont ovulate which means it becames difficult to conceive.  when i was diagnosed with PCOS my doc put me on a tablet called metformin, this decrease your blood insulin levels and helps regulate your period, in hope that you will start ovulating again.

there are a few signs of PCOS.

1. irregular periods

2.Weight gain (Mid section especially)

3.acne

4.Hair loss (Balding)

5.Facial Hair

These are just a few signs, but the best thing to do according to my doc is loose weight, i know that can be hard for us girls, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Ask him about metformin.

I really hope that all what i have said helps you in some way or the other and i hope that you fall prego soon,

There are many woman out there with PCOS that have managed to conceive. . .

Good luck to you and me and all those TTC

Answer 6

I also have PCOS I was diagnosed when I was 16 and I am now 23. When I was 18 i lost alot of weight and about 2 months later I found out that I was pregnant. I carried my daughter for 32 weeks and then I had her. When she was a year old my husband and I decided to start trying again and we had no luck so I went on clomid last year at the end of the year and my last dose of it was in March well on June 13 I found out that I was pregnant but on July 7 I had to go to the Dr. Cause of heavy bleeding and they done an ultrasound and we found out that my child was in my right fallopian tube. The dr removed my child and my tube. The Dr. then told me that with me taking the fertility drug could have caused this to happen, so just be careful because i would hate to see you go through this. Try losing weight, and avoid sweets, I know that this is hard to do but you can do it. If that doesnt work ask your Dr. about Metformin it is usually prescribed to help patients with PCOS, to help lose weight and also to help with the insulin resistance. I wish you all the luck in the world. If you would like to email me my address is [e-mail].
