I'm new to this group and have read through some of the posts and have seen a lot of different/good information! Husband and I have just decided to start TTC, I've only been off the pill for about two weeks. I'm expecting with PCOS for it to take a long time to get pregnant, and it is part of the reason I've been taking getting myself into shape more seriously. I'm meeting with my OBGYN in July to talk about things, but want to try to stay as natural as possible at the beginning. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share in their transition from trying to prevent baby to wanting baby, all while with PCOS??

    Good luck! When my husband and I went off Birth Control I did not know I had PCOS, I was diagnosed after trying for 8 months. My expierence was that my period would start getting longer and longer so I had quite a few months where I thought it was the month just to be let down. Those months were the hardest for me emotionally.

    The best advise I have to give is to go into each end of the cycle when your period is due expecting it to come, then if it does come you are not as disapointed.

    Good luck and I hope you are successfull!

    ^ I had the same experience in that I had like one or two normal periods and then the cycles just got longer and longer. Eventually I wasn't getting a period at all, even though I would have pregnancy-like symptoms sometimes, which was very depressing. I eventually went on Metformin and it regulated my cycles. And I am now five 1/2 weeks pregnant - so something must've worked!
