I had never had regular periods. At age 18 I was rushed to hospital with an ovarian cyst that had ruptured. From then on it was one problem after another. I began birth control pills (BCP) at 18 and since I was in college, and then working on a career. I never thought much about my fertility until at age 34 when I married the love of my life. We both decided we were ready for children.
I went off BCP right after the wedding. We visited my gynecologist the month after the wedding to let him know of our plans and my history. He started with blood work and then onto a transvaginal ultrasound. WOW!! It looked like a string of pearls in place of my right ovary and my left ovary was "hiding," just couldn't get a clear picture. After a few questions about my struggle with being overweight, excessive hair issues, irregular periods, etc., I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have been on Glucophage and Advandia to help "get the ball rolling" and added Clomid to induce ovulation. I took Clomid for three months with progesterone level readings of 85.7, 55.5 and 17.2.
Now I am waiting for the next step. It's been a little over a year. We're hopeful and it helps to visit sites like this to hear about others in similar situations.
I'm 26 years old I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 20. I really wasn't concern of getting pregnant at that time. I was married in Aug 08..I found out I was two months preg. In August 09..very unexpected but we where excited about the pregnancy! I lost my lil girl in November. My doc suggested that I lose weight b4 trying again..so right now I'm focusing on my weight.
TTC for 9 months, i am presently on my 7th clomid cycle i also take metformin, but no pregnancy yet. I too was diagnosed with PCOS when i was a teenage. It is sometime hard but i keep saying it will happen.
I started Metformin to help me lose weight and ovulate. I got my period the first day I started the pills. Now, seven weeks later, I got a surprise pregnancy!
I am 28 years old When i was about 14 years old i was diagnosed with just a hormone imbalance. Recently i was dignosed with PCOS. My partner and i have been trying to conceive for the last 3 years Ive been told that only way to get pregnant is to loose alot of weight. I was wondering is anyone getting told the same thing!
