PCOS?

Question

I was just diagnosed with PCOS, I am pretty heartbroken.  Any tips or tricks or supplements anyone has tried that helped get your body going in the right direction?  I want to be a mommy so badly...

Answer

After years of bad doctors telling me to stay on the pill and Id be fine, I finally found a good doctor last year.  He told me that the pill just hides the symptoms of PCOS. Ive been on metaformin for awhile and he told me to cut out processed foods and focus on eating a low carb diet. The way he explained it, your insulin levels impact your hormone levels and keeping your insulin and sugar levels more normal helps to keep your hormones regulated.

Ive been focused on loosing weight and eating a high protein, whole food diet and exercising more.  Soon we are going to try again to have a baby. But for the first time ever my periods are completely normal without the pill and I havent had issues with cysts or other things in over a year, so I feel like its working. I am really hopeful. Good luck to you!

Answer

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago and I had mixed emotions. I was devastated and felt broken knowing I had a fertility problem but at the same time relieved to know it was treatable.

My doctor put me on Metformin to regulate my cycles, it also made it easier for me to lose 25lbs. After two months we finally conceived after 2 1/2 years of trying.

I started taking Ovasitol this fall (a powder of the inositol's we need), and a couple weeks ago started Vitex. Have my initial consult with a reproductive endocrinologist on Monday and will talk about further options-- Clomid, Metformin, etc.

Answer

I conceived surprisingly with my daughter 5 years ago. Trying for #2. About to start Vitex in the morning. Fingers crossed. It's said to help women with PCOS.

Answer

About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and picked up my prescription for Clomid that same day. I started my first round of clomid yesterday! My doc was really supportive and i actually felt relieved to have a great doc and finally get answers. Now I'm just excited! Hopefully all will go well!!!!

Answer

I was just diagnosed with PCOS too. It runs in my family. My husband and I have been trying for 3 years. I'm  having a hard time with accepting that I officially have a fertility problem too. But I know that it is treatable. My sister has it too, worse than I do, and has 3 littles. Her doctors gave her something to dissolve the csyts and 3 months later she was pregnant with her 10 yr old. My doctors don't have a plan just yet. I would try taking to yours about the options for your situation and try to keep your head up. I know it's hard.
