PCOS and pregnancy chances?

emilycaitlin · 11-09-2006, 04:06 PM

Hello, I have pcos and was wondering if any of you have been able to get pregnant in spite of having this. I've read a few posts where some did and wondered if you conceived "naturally" or if not which medicines were able to help you? I have been trying to get pregnant for 7yrs but they can't even get me to ovulate because of this pcos. I'm going back to my re soon and was trying to get a few ideas or suggestions of things I could talk to him about in order to help me out. It's really getting depressing but I'm trying to stay positive. I used metformin but only a few months because I was so nauseated, will probably go back on it but I would appreciate any of your suggestions or advice. Thanks so much

Hello emilycaitlin,

((hugs)) I know how hard it is, how emotional it is. Its such a ride. I just want to say that its possible to concieve. I have PCOS and had been trying to get pregnant with no 1 and have just fallen pregnant. I was Just about to start treatment this month. We fell pregnant as we were house hunting and had other things on our plate. Had been trying for 2 years nearly.

Good luck and dont give up... treat yourself easy xxx

Thank you Skyela for your reply. It really does help and give me some hope to hear others who have this are able to have children. Best of luck with your pregnancy! em

I tried on my own for a year and a half with no success, so I saw a specialist (Reproductive Endocrinologist) and was put on Clomid. I got pregnant after my 4th month of Clomid.

Hi Barton, I sure wish the clomid had worked out for me, tried 8 rounds of it with nothing, will be trying the metformin and Letrozole soon, possibly ovarian drilling and/or injections after that. I've read some of your other posts and you sound really knowledgeable about pcos, how do you think it is someone like me can have regular 31 day cycles year after year and never ovulate? They used to be 45 days apart or sometimes I would skip a few months, but have regulated more over the past few yrs, wonder if that means I'm getting better? Oh well, I go back to the re in Jan, hopefully he will have some options for me. I hate this pcos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, that felt better

Thanks for your reply, em
