Well, my story is not so short and sweet but i'll try. I had to self diagnose my PCOS. My doctors kept insisting that I stay on BC. I couldn't stand it because on BC my PMS was the worst and I was very moody. And how can I get preg on BC. Also, I attempted suicide during one of my really bad episodes of PMS and I knew I had to do something. I knew it was my PMS because I started the following morning. When I told my doctor she wanted to put me on more meds. I started researching irregular periods & periods that never end. The more I found out the more I was convince that I knew what was wrong with me. I spoke to my doctor and she apparently had never heard of or never took it seriously. I finally had to take her a HUGE folder full of research and she prescriped metf as per the papers I took her. I felt so different on metf finally normal and my periods regulated. I am very careful about taking metf. I never wanted to go back on BC. It's really hard to get preg when you're constantly messing with your cycle. Anyway about a 1 1/2 - 2yrs ago I started metf but still no preg. So now I'm trying alternative methods. I've been asking alot of people and have now found out 3 friends have done this and where successful and conceiving only 2 though Carried To Term. My friend that mc also suffers w/PCOS. I'm on my way to talk to her to try to get more info from her now. I have clomid set as my final attempt. I told myself that if I don't conceive by my 35th birthday that I would give up. I am now 34yrs old so I decided to go into this year fighting with everything I've got. there you go me in a nut shell.
