What is PCOS? And when does polycystic ovary syndrome become a problem for women?...
Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms but women with PCOS exhibit one of three main symptoms. PCOS signs and symptoms made clear here....
PCOS is often misdiagnosed. Educate yourself with some diagnostic questions that can point you in the right direction for an accurate PCOS diagnosis....

Well, to me one of the best things you can do is exercise regularly and follow a somewhat diabetic diet. A lot of people with pcos also have insulin resistance which can also prevent ovulation. Some doctors prescirbe glucophage and clomid to help induce ovulation as well. It's a long road. You both may want to consult a reproductive endocrinologist. They know a lot more about this than a regular ob/gyn.

i also have PCOS and i am currently taking the drug metforim once a day to help "kick start" my ovaries as i havent had a period for 7months and for 3 years before that i was on the pill (cilest) my doctor has told me that i can have children still but i am in the early stages of finding a medication that works for me! at the moment i am only one 500mg a day and its not working,so i think i shall have to try a higher does.My friend also has PCOS but she only has one ovary,she used the drug clomid and shes is now 5 months pregnant! so you can yes,but not everyone with it can,some women need to use ivf!

A happy PCOS story!
Hi

My wife was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago (before we got married). It was awful being told that we might never be able to have children so we made the decision to try before we got married (not ideal but glad we did!). Anyway to cut a long story short we tried for 9 months and almost gave up. We did get a positive result once but it turned to negative after a week so I guess we lost it. Then a few months later I remember coming home after work and my wife sitting there with a smile on her face - I knew straight away that she was pregnant! We didn't get overly excited as we thought we might lose the baby as many people with PCOS miscarry in the first few months. Anyway 9 months later little Joshua was born - a perfect little baby boy! He's now 2 and is my little mini-me and we love him to bits.

It seemed that everything we read was doom and gloom so I thought I would tell you our little story and don't give up!! It may take a while, even years but it can happen! The only thing I remember that might have made a difference is we both joined a gym and my wife did lots of exercise on the tread mill (for a couple of months if remember rightly). Whether or not this made a difference I don't know but it was around about that time she conceived. I also think she ate much more healthily as she was on a bit of a health kick at the time Smile

Good luck!
