Does anyone else have pcos

Question

Pcos who has gotten pregnant

Answer

See an OB that has experience treating PCOS.  That's the biggest and best tip!!

I had my first period at 9 and was formally diagnosed at 13 and put on the pill. The OB at children's was rude and told me "Now Patty Anne, this is not a free license to have sex willy nilly." It took all I had not to gut check her. Instead I told her "Boys are gross, boys will always be gross. I am a child, and intend to remain ad such until I see fit. Madam."

I went through 4-5 more OBs like that and I'd have to explain PCOS to them Then I met the last 2 OBs, the first one put me in metformin and mirena. It was amazing.

Now I've been weened off metformin because the combination of the IUD Skyla coupled with cutting all soy, beef/dairy products from cows treated with rbst, as well as chia and flax seeds has helped me start ovulating again, reduced my hairiness and helped me drop 30 pounds in 6 months!! The most exciting development was that we got pregnant with the IUD and we made it to 9 weeks before I miscarried for the 3rd time. For us that is a HUGE VICTORY over PCOS and means that we may not even make it to the second phase of our fertility action plan!

Fertility Action Plans are very important, even if you're not TTC PCOS is a whole body disease and treating it involves diet modifications, medications and careful monitoring of symptoms.

Our action plan is that I take Skyla out, and get back on metformin for 3 months, no trying. Then we try for 3 months with metformin, if there's no baby; I go in for even more extensive testing, and will probably be declared infertile.  We then add in a drug similar to Clomid for 3 more months. If that doesn't work we either do 2-3 rounds each of IVF, or surrogacy. And if there's still no baby then we'll just adopt the 3-4 children we've always wanted.

Answer

TTC for 5 years and diagnosed with PCOS 1 year ago.  Metformin to balance hormones and bring about monthly cycle, and soon either clomid or IVF.  I have personal friends who have conceived multiple times even with PCOS.  You have to find what works best for you。

Answer

I have pcos and sought help from my funk.  After being out on provera and then clomid I conceived after 3 months.  Unfortunately it ended in a tubal pregnancy.  My husband and I are trying again with the same program.
