Have you gotten pregnant with PCOS?

Question

If yes please explain in comments if you had help with Metformin/pills or other ways on how you got pregnant.

Answer

Lost 15kgs, was doing AIP Paleo Anti Inflammatory diet, was already on Metformin (for 10+ years) & used preseed 
Got pregnant on our 2nd month of trying 🤰🏼

Answer

Let’s see. About a year ago, I started Metformin. A few months after that, doctor added Femara. We did 4 rounds of Femara, but none of them made me ovulate strongly enough to conceive. After 4 rounds of Femara, got discouraged and decided it was time for a break, but I somehow miraculously got pregnant naturally the cycle after our last round of Femara. Still feel rather dumbfounded. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I used metformin, but still took 7 months.

Answer

got pregnant like 5 months after metformin and changed my eating... I'm still fat but I'm super healthy.

Answer

I lost 50 pounds, I went gluten free and used intermittent fasting. I tried metformin and I had such severe side effects I got hospitalized. I started tracking ovulation, bbt and taking prenatals and that helped me get pregnant.

Answer

I’m 8wks.  I take metformin twice a day.  What helped me was my eating habits.  I don’t eat a lot of fast food.  Leafy greens and fruits are your best friend.  I stay away from potato’s, burgers, white rice and white bread.  I eat a lot of whole grain items...ex brown rice, whole grain crackers, wheat bread.  Veggies I eat carrots, celery, cucumber, tomatoes things like that.  Fruit I eat grapes, plums, oranges, apples, pears.  I read some articles and books on pcos and the change in your eating habits was a big thing to help manage pcos.  Your suppose to work out as Well but I haven’t.  I’m trying to start now though.  The big no, no is sugar, candy, cookies, pie, ice cream and soda. I designate a day once a week when I can have something sweet. I also read there are different types of pcos.  I would figure out which one are you. Good luck and God bless..

Answer

Honestly what really worked for me was loosing a ton of weight. I went from weighing 180 to 150 and I tried keeping my diet semi healthy. I got pregnant twice and miscarried both times. I gained some weight back because of the disappointments I didn't take care of my diet much. when I started feeling better I lost weight once again and got pregnant with my baby girl. She was full term and healthy.

Answer

Yes, without metformin, just with weight loss.

Answer

Yes I had help with metformin but I also lost about 15 pounds, ate relatively healthy, ate gluten free, and walked an hour a day. I personally believe the combination of everything helped with conceiving.
