I have PCOS and got pregnant right away after treatment of birth control for 2 years. Then I suffered 3 m/c after trying with Clomid. Finally, I began the Metformin and without the use of Clomid I got pregnant about 12 weeks after starting the meds. I am now 6 weeks along and continue to take it. I know it is stressful but you can get pregnant with PCOS, you just have to have everything balanced just right and find what works for your body!

Sorry, I meant to say this will be my 2nd child. The 1st pregnancy just off birth control was successful and I have a 16 month old DD. After she was born is when I started suffering all the m/c and trouble getting pregnant again b/c my hormones were all out of control again.

hi, i am married for a 1 year anf 8 months, been diagnosed of pcos for 6 years already, been going back and forth to my ob for series of check ups. recently, my ob was about to give me fertility pills since we are dying to have a baby. your stories lifted my spirit and gain a glimpse of hope that i can be pregnant in the future (hope sooner). I just want to ask, if you can recommend an endo to me? im so desperate to get pregnant. im 26 years old already.

thanks a lot!

I have been diagnosed with PCOS, and had a succesful pregnancy. Im trying for baby #2. Are there safe fertility drugs such as clomid that I can buy online? I see the ads, but Im hesitant

hey ladys! so i have been on the metformin for a few weeks now, and the first 2 weeks i lost 6 pounds, and i had changed my eating habits around, and walked for 30 min every night, but the 3rd week i stopped the walking and didn't follow a healthy diet and i gain 4 pounds back fast! does anyone have any good diet advise with having pcos? what has worked for you guys?
anyways my doctor told me that the metformin should bring a period, but still no period, and still no baby,they didn't want to start me on clomid till i saw a obgyn and i started a good diet and exercise plan..id like to lose the weight that i gained..but i saw one doctor, and he was so mean, he acted like i didn't matter, he was very blunt and said pcos doesn't make woman gain weight , he said you have to be fat to have pcos and its are own fault that we gained it, basically saying im lazy and gained the weight my self, i told him fuck off (sorry for my french) but NO ONE gains 30 pounds that fast! and i wasn't even eating un healthy, but everything i have read say pcos makes woman gain weight! and alot of weight! and the metformin helps stop the weight gain and its are job to start eating differently,anyways after i left his office i was in tears, thats how mean he was, but i got a new doctor, and my new doctor said he didn't no what he was talking about..o than he told me i didn't need clomid to get prego i need to lose weight! but im glad i found this new doctor, he just told me continue the metformin for 3 months and see what has happened after 3 months,and from there we will discuss a new plan
