Don't fret! Everything is NOT out of your control. I am 30 years old, with PCOS and possible endometriosis. I had tried for months to get pregnant and was about to go on Glucophage (metformin) to hopefully regulate my cycles - when I got pregnant on my own. Here's why I think it (finally!) worked for me: I started taking my temperature every morning and charting. (Check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler - it's excellent!). Then I worked on getting my diet and exercise plan under control. I started to eat as if I was a diabetic, since the insulin resistence is similar to PCOS. So that's my best advice to you. I'm only 6 weeks pregnant, and now I'm worried about the higher rate of miscarriage.... but I'm hoping that continuing a healthy diet will help keep things progressing well. If you want to talk more about this, feel free to email me at shelleyg25@yahoo.com.
Take heart! :)
