Im finally pregnant with PCOS!

Hi Everyone,

I got married 5 years ago. Right away we decided that I would not go on birth control and let things happen naturally, for the first 5 months we weren't trying to get pregnant per se but it never happened..... In the mean time I gained a good 20 pounds, and all of the sudden my periods stopped showing up. After 3 months of no periods I decided to go to the doctor where she ran some tests and did an ovary ultra sound and confirmed I had PCOS. She told me that I should go on metformin right away since I was Insulin Resistant, and that it may be a challenge to achieve pregnancy. She refereed me to a reproductive endocrinologist. He put me on clomid the first month, and I became pregnant luckily, but unfortunately miscarried at 8 weeks. After a couple months of taking a break from meds, he put me on clomid again, and 5 more rounds and I still did not end up pregnant. We also tried Femera, and that did not work for me either. I decided that I wanted to try the natural route and decided to opt out of the very expensive treatments he was recommending next... fast forward about 3 years, all that ends up happening is that I gain more weight and got to my highest weight of 250 pounds this past November. When I saw that number I freaked! I had to start getting serious about loosing weight for my health. I went on a low amylose diet and started dropping the weight. I am now at 212 pounds, and the best news is that I naturally became pregant for the first time ever after 4.5 years of trying to conceive after only 2 months of regularize cycles. So for you ladies with PCOS, dont loose hope! I lost 35 pounds and it restarted my cycles and now I am preggo, god willing if all goes well I will be due mid december of this year.
