PCOS and trying to get pregnant Posted: 03-22-08 22:10pm
Hi everyone,
I am a 23 year old female. My husband and
I have been trying to get pregnant for
almost 11 months. I went of birth control
in May 2007. I went to the doctor 4
months later because I hadn't had a period
since I went off birth control. I was
diagnosed with PCOS after having an
ultrasound. My doctor started me on
Metformin. I took Metformin for 5 months,
never getting a period. My doctor gave me
progestorone to force my body to
menstruate since it had been 9 months w/o
one. I did have a period after taking
progestorone. I am having a follow up
appointment with my doctor and I wanted to
know what other medications or procedures
I should look into. Does any one have any
ideas I can discuss with my doctor?

Sorry to hear about your ttc problems. I
have PCOS too. My dr told me to follow a
low carb (like South Beach) diet, and I
have to take clomid in order to ovulate.
So far, no babies, but I think we are on
the right track.

I suffer from PCOS too, and my little girl
will be turning four in July. I never used
any form of contraception in my life, and
only fell pregnant when I was 30.
All I did was to change my diet to raw
foods (and raw foods only), and 7 months
later I conceived. I was hard, but believe
me: it was worth it! My little princess is
the light of my life.
Good luck to you. You are in my prayers.
