Anybody had lean/thin PCOS and found something that worked?

Question

For getting a positive ovulation ... I just need one egg dammit ... Just one!!!

Also feel free to post if you haven't figured it out but are trying, it'd be nice to find ppl with the same issue ... since usually the advice is "lose weight!" which doesn't necessarily apply for those 10% of us that aren't overweight ...

Answer

I've been fit/thin my whole life and was diagnosed with PCOS after 2 years of unexplained infertility. I did change my diet (stayed away from gluten, excess dairy and processed sugars) and tried to exercise more. Went through three rounds of Clomid with no luck.  What I think worked for me was  a combination of natural supplements and vitamins. Myo-Inisotol which helps regulate your insulin (this is my #1 recommendation for PCOS) Maca which is a Peruvian root used for reproductive health, quality prenatals I use Rainbow Light Organics which are made from actual whole foods and a combo of Royal Jelly and bee pollen which help with egg quality. I also stopped using products with hormone disrupting chemicals/preservatives in them, no Parabens, Pthalates, Sodium Laurel Sulfate (there are more but those are the big ones). I'm now almost 28 weeks and having a great healthy pregnancy. I got pregnant naturally with no medicine or interventions after 3 years of trying. PCOS is about your insulin and hormones and if your interested in not only getting pregnant but also helping heal your body consider giving the natural supplements a try. It can take some time but it worked for me. Baby dust to all my soul-cysters!

Had to take femara to induce ovulation but it worked the first time! I tried gaining weight like my doctor recommended and I'm just too picky apparently to gain weight!

Answer

Metformin helped me! I had irregular cycles and it helped to regulate them. I only took it for about 4-5 months, and my periods continued to be regular. I miscarried early twice after getting pregnant on it, and then my hubby deployed for 7 months. My cycles continued to regular while he was gone, and when he returned I got pregnant again :) This time around I took progesterone supplements during the first trimester, and here I am 28 weeks pregnant! Hoping you can find what works for you :)

I am also thin and have PCOS! I started merformin back in February but the only thing it did to me was that I lost even more weight. I also tried 2 cycles of clomid andyjay also didn't work. I have my first appointment at a fertility clinic on Monday to start cycle monitoring and see what's the next step. 😔
