ttc with pcos Posted: 04-11-08 13:11pm
My Fiance and I want to start TTC again.
We both agreed that we want to start very
soon. I'm on bc right now and I just
started a new pack which I plan on
finishing before we get into that process.
The thing with me is that I've been
diagnosed with PCOS and that's why I've
been on bc. I don't want to be on bc but I
want to get better.
Questions:
Is the bc really helping my pcos?
Is there a way we can ttc with pcos?
I'm just really scared that I will stop my
periods the mintue I stop bc. I'm like
terrified! No joke! Right now I'm trying
to explain that to my fiance. Idk what to
do!!!

You should go see your doctor and discuss
what your options are about TTC.
Good luck!

I to have PCOS.
My husband and I tried for over 3 years to
get pregnant.
My doctor put me on Clomid and Metformin
at the same time and now I am almost
30weeks pregnant with a little girl.
So it will be good idea to talk to your
doctor.
Good luck and God bless!!

Thank you all for your responses. I don't
have an appt until in July for them to run
test on me and make sure everything is
okay. Then two weeks after that I go see
the doc and i'll discuss it with her. I
wil finish my 6 month round of BC that she
prescribed me. My fiance and I have also
decided to wait to ttc after we get
married in Nov. So i know that a doc wont
see you until it's been over a year ofttc.
I'll just stick it out. Wish us luck!
Congrads to y'all that are pregnant w/
pcos!!!!

You can see your doctor before you start
trying for a preconception checkup. I
suggest that. They run some blood tests
and make sure you are in good health for
ttc (chicken pox and rhubella are the
biggies) and they will write you a script
for prenatal vitamins.
I'm currently ttc with pcos, so you will
have company when you and your dh decide
to start ttc.
there are many medications available now
to help with the condition. You will need
to wait until you get some bloodwork done
for the doctors to decide what will be
best for you. Metformin is usually the "go
to" med. It helps regulate some hormones,
but you may not have to take that, it will
just all depend.
Not everyone with pcos has difficulty
conceiving. You will just have to wait and
see.
Good luck and congrats on the upcoming
wedding!

They will run a screening for your chicken
pox a rubella immunity.
if you do not have the correct antibodies
for these diseases they will give you a
vaccine and you will have to wait 3 months
ttc after that. Which is why they like to
do that before you start ttc.
They will do a basic physical to check
blood pressure and all that good stuff.
They will go over good diet and exercise
and normally give you a pap (if you are
due) and an internal exam to insure that
nothing feels inflamed.
Then they give you a script for prenatals
(or samples to find one you like) and send
you on your way.
Mine also went over charting my temp. And
we discussed what we would do if I had any
issues (which we knew I would) this is
what helped me to get a referral to a
specialist as early as I did.
