    Hey there! Infertility is frustrating. I have PCO and do not seem to ovulate. I do not have the weight or hormone issues so they retracted the PCOS diagnosis and put "unexplained infertility"

    I have it... I don't care whether or not I conceive. I've decided I love my life, my lifestyle and myself and don't need kids to complete that.

    I'd much rather have sleep and a dog(s) :laugh:

    Correction - Rescue Dogs!

    I'm totally with this... I'm good with my rotti and sleep! although want to add another furry addition that i can go running with

    Hello,

    Me too, I have PCOS and was put on metformin, doesn't seem to effect me in anyway, reading these posts I guess i'm lucky...ish. Had a HGS last week which was incredibly painful! Have to go back in December, I presume next step is chlomid. Was told I needed to lose weight, i'm 20 odd pounds down, not too much to go before i'm at a weight they feel is acceptable, although I would like to lose a few more stone, feel free to add me :)

    Ps I have two dogs and love my sleep but a couple of children too would be great, more the merrier haha x

  • Awww, congratulations on your precious bundle of joy! Now, THAT is a miracle. :) Did you do anything special or take any fertility medication leading up to conceiving?

    (And I agree, PCOS is no fun.)

    Thank you :D

    I cut out dairy and dramatically reduced my stress levels by moving to an easy part time job, and conceived 2 months later. I don't think it was a coincidence :)

  • Hello! I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been on birth control since age 17 (I am 22 now). I also have fibro myalgia and GAD. I am currently 5'3" at 182 lbs. I am taking loads of meds for all my ailments.

    YOU ARE NOT ALONE OUT THERE! Its always great to find encouragement through others who are like you. I want to be within the 140-152lb weight limit.

    Lets help each other ^__^

    im a little late to the post, but I was finally able to conceive (6 months pregnant) after weight loss. Portion control has worked the best for me along with avoid sugared/calorie drinks besides alcohol.
  • Losing weight can be really beneficial in helping with conceiving and also health in general. I set out to get in good shape before getting pregnant and was really glad I did - I hate to imagine the effort of carrying my old weight around as well as a baby!
    I started on a vegetable and fruit juicing diet for breakfast and lunch and lost loads of weight in a couple of months as well as having a lot more energy.

    It took my 5 years to conceive with my first. Turns out I had hypothyroidism and PCOS. As soon as I started treatment for those 2 things, and lost my first 25 lbs, I got pregnant. I have 2 now!
  • Iv ejust been tested for PCOS due to a lack of periods for just over a year now and my oestrogen, fsh, lh and ferretin all came back normal but still waiting for progesterone, so does that mean i do not have pcos?
