PCOS and Pregnancy

Mary

Hey y’all I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month and half ago. I had no symptoms besides irregular period and high androgen levels. I didn’t have cysts in my ovaries just had a lot of free floating estrogen that had no where to go but to create follicles (what my doctor explained). Anyways I was put on 1000 mg of metformin to try and get my androgen levels down. Because I saw and endo who said I was also insulin resistant that created this mess I was told to go on a low carb (under 100 carbs ) and high protein diet. I am considered Norma weight at 135 so I wasn’t combating that either. On the 18 day of my cycle I was started on provera to either give me a period or sustain a pregnancy.

As of yesterday the doctor confirmed it’s blood work that I am pregnant (after a year of trying)

Any questions I’m happy to help with what I did. Don’t give up !!
