I've had pcos for the past 2 years. My husband and I have yet to get pregnant. I need to lose about 30 pounds and also see about some of the medications you guys have tried. Thanks so much everyone for the encouragment. I feel as though there is hope for my husband and I to have kids in the near future. I think its GREAT that everyone shares their experiences because we all learn something from it. Praying for you all.

I had to see a dr. I got clomid to ovulate, its the cheapest lowest medication. I had to take it for 3 months for my 1st and was on it for 7 moths for my 2nd.Your gyno can actually precribe it and then if that doesnt work they refer you to a specialist. I was also on actos. That was supposed to help regulate insulan resistance, didnt do much for me though. best thing you can do is ask your dr what is the best plan for you. On of the biggest issues PCOS women deal with is obesity, a dr will recommend you lose wieght even if your only slightly overwieght. hope that hopes, feel free to ask as many questions a you want Hi, Cehisa I took prenatal vitamins, besides the fact your supposed to bEFORE getting prego ayway it helps your body get ready, I also tryed to eat heathy.

My periods have been messed up for a long time. I am trying to get pregnant but can not go further. I need to be seen a fertility specialist and my insurance doesn't cover it. If I go on a diabetic diet will that help me get pregant? What should I eat? Well I have been diagnosed with PCOS last year but probably had it longer than that.

My name is Karen and I also have PCOS. My husband and I were married for five years before we were able to conceive and I look at those five years as a wonderful gift of time to get to know eachother and just be together. My advice to you is to not give up. I know its hard, but it can be done. We were referred to a reproductive endocrinologist in Mar of 2004 and found out I was pregnant Christmas Eve of that same year. He did a procedure where he laproscopically poked little holes in my ovaries.(I can't think of the medical term for it.) Umm yeah I hope this helps and good luck to you! Hey Stephenie!

I imagine your doctor is the best person to discuss this with. I hope someone else can help you out with your queries -- anyone? So many people have felt like that before, and finally they have been successful in getting pregnant... Stephenie, just hang in there, keep trying. I wish you and your husband every success. Please stay in touch. Hi Stephenie,

I'm going on 3 years of marriage now and my husband and I have been trying for over a year to have a baby. It's been so very difficult for us. My doctor put me on Prometreum to help regulate my cycles and everything, which worked. They say my levels and hormones are doing ok, but we're still not pregnant. I'm also on Metformin. Is there any other medication that would help in the process? How much does IUI cost and has anyone had success with that? Believe me, I no just how hard this can be. Everytime we go to church or any place where there are little babies, I die a little inside. It hurts so bad. I just hope one day our little one will come. It's getting harder and harder to hang in there. I have had PCOS for about 5 years now. I’m going on 3 years of marriage now and my husband and I have been trying for over a year to have a baby.
