I am exactly in your same situation! I am 29 and was on BC from the time I was 16 till almost 2 years ago when me and my husband wanted to start trying. I did not get my period and my regular Dr did not want to do anything until a year of trying unsuccessful. I had a feeling something was not right so my friend told me about a Dr to go see that she was also recommended to and she found out I had PCOS from a ultrasound and a few tests. I unfortunatly do not have a success story for you but am hopeful that I will have one to share soon. We tried clomid with no luck of producing follicles and then I was sent to a RE Dr and got into injectables. We did a try at IUI last winter that was negative, then we were not able to get the meds to work in our favor to try another IUI, either too many follicles or they did not get large enough to try again cause of the PCOS. In late spring we just tried IVF for the first time and that did not work either. We decided to take the summer off cause of all the things we have gonig on in the summer we didn't want to be stuck going to all the appointments so we decided to take a bit of a break till late fall/ early winter and try IVF again. In the meantime I am hoping to lose some weight to see if that will help, I was never told by the Dr that I should do that but I could definitly lose some weight either way. My goal is to lose 20 lbs before we try IVF again so that isn't too bad, if I stick to a plan I can lose it pretty easily.

I have a friend who has PCOS and lost about 20-30 lbs and was able to get pregnant on her own so I hope maybe this will happen to us and we wont have to do IVF again. I have started taking maca root supplements as I heard on here that it can help regulate your cycle plus it is a 'super food' so I figure it cannot hurt. And then I am taking Metformin which helped keep the cyst from growing but has not helped me at all with weight loss or regualting my cycle.

Good luck to you and stay positive, it is very hard to do and you will get annoyed with everyone telling you to just relax and let it happen But keep strong as a couple and definitly joke about things! Me and my husband have come out of this even closer and has made our marriage stronger. I started a blog to talk about our journey and just life in general, it was a way for me to keep my stress off my back and just vent about good and bad things instead of telling people over and over what was new in our process.

Good luck to you in you 2WW! My friend was successful after her second try with clomid and IUI so hopefully you are too!

Hi, I don't have a success story (yet, fingers crossed) but I was diagnosed around March. I went off birth control and had a period like clockwork for 6 months until my husband and I conceived. I only made it to 6 weeks before a miscarriage and then didn't have another period for three months so they did some blood work and diagnosed me with PCOS. I'm about to start clomid whenever I have another period. We'll see what happens. Good luck to you and here's to keeping positive.

I was diagnosed in 2006, but knew I had PCOS before then. In 2009, with only taking my Metformin and 300 pounds, I conceived my son, who is now 2 and nicknamed "The Captor." He's brilliant and fun. It can happen, just have faith.
