There are days that I hurt, but I have learned that it can get better. Make sure you take the precautions for not having a miscarriage. I don't know if they have you on Metformin, but I know they have found that it helps with not having a miscarriage. We are discussing a second one more seriously and it's a hard journey. We were in our 30's when we had our first.

its taken me 4 and a bit years to concieve and ive had pcos all my life. I still have 70ibs to lose as im suppose to weigh 10 stone for my weight and I am currently 15 stone. I was due to start fertility treatment this year after being refused for years and years and after losing the weight i fell pregnant, it was a hell of a shock but a nice one, im still in shock now to be honest. I was told to expect a misscarraige as the baby wasnt growing (all i saw was a white ring and a week later still a white ring when they shoulda seen something) I was told to expect a misscarry and if i didnt in 2 weeks to get another scan, it was the longest 2 weeks off my life. I made it thro and they finally saw a heart, I had my 12 week scan friday just gone and was told i was 13 weeks.

My diet has been appalling and i feel like an aweful mum already for making my baby ill with the junk im eating, but anything healthy at the mo is making me so so sick! I am hoping it will ease off in the next few weeks as it is meant too. I still worry about misscarrying now due to the bad foods im eating and all my sugar increases esp with the pcos! my point is, dont be scared, its not easy i know but you can onloy eat what u can eat when ur preggy, ur body will soon tell u what u want and what u dont even tho u wanna try and eat something good and healthy =s! if I miscarry this one, I will use protection until i get down to my bmi as i do believe excess weight is not good, but it sounds like you have done everything right! and im sure your lil baby to be will be happy in u! mines happy in me so far, god knows how!!! good luck!

I was supposed to have my first baby in March but miscarried. It was horrible and devastating and lonely. I right away went to the Dr and my blood work shows insulin resistance & PCOS. I have regular cycles and no symptoms other than being overweight and being a bit of a carb-head. BUT... I made it through it all very well. I have hope and am working on anything in my control to be able to have a healthy baby soon. Here's what I want you to know:

- miscarriage is super common. Up to 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Don't blame yourself. My midwife said the first pregnancy is especially common - almost like some women's bodies need a dry-run before accepting a pregnancy.
- If it happens you will be devastated but I believe that our hormones kick in and help get us through it. Find some support and don't try to handle it alone.
- if your partner is anything like mine, he will not be the best support because he cannot comprehend the hurt and emotion.

I know no one wants to talk about it but that's why I am addressing it. I have more to add but have to run!

OK. Part of what I wanted to say in the last post is to TAKE YOUR TIME. I know when I was TTC, it was like I finally decided I was ready to have a baby & I wanted it now! Stress is our biggest enemy (someone else here said it too, right?)

I don't have any major issues with PCOS that I am aware of so maybe I shouldn't be giving advice, but if you are young (like, under 30) I would highly recommend doing it as naturally as possible for 4-6 cycles. If nothing, then look into drugs. I wouldn't start the process with drugs - even though you are probably ready for a baby, like, yesterday. Try to see it as a process. I'm almost 35 so it's a bit more of a race against the clock but I am trying to take my own advice here, too!

Get on a good prenatal vitamin right away (I like New Chapter Perfect Prenatal). Keep in mind that your stress, eating habits etc, all affect the baby & can set patterns for the baby later in life. You might try an ovulation predictor kit or charting to see when you really ovulate. I am going to OPK this time around, since I got pregnant when I thought it was too late in my cycle (suggesting that I ovulate later). From what I have read, make sure your man is keeping his sperm 'fresh' by releasing every other day or so (if you are not having sex), and have sex every other day (I heard mornings are better for sperm count) from something like 6 days before ovulating to 4 days after (definitely look this up - the point being that there seems to be a general pattern that people suggest for best chances of pregnancy).

I'm sorry if bringing up miscarriage is sad or stressful. I think it's best to prepare yourself that it's fairly common and happens for no apparent reason other than genetic flaws. You're going to have your baby. Set your expectations for a long term process and I think you will be better off. Keep hope that it can happen quickly but don't fret if it doesn't.
