    I am so excited for you!! I have a similar success story and would love to be here to support you!!

    I was very young (19) when I got married. My husband and me tried for three years to get pregnant with no luck!! I was diagnosed with PCOS and after multiple tests I was told that I would be unable to concieve.

    My marriage broke up and I began to focus on myself even more and put myself first!!

    I was 298 pounds and over the next 2 years with calorie counting & Weight Watchers and exercise I got to 215.

    I had a full time foster son and I worked at the local gas station to put myself through college and start my career as a care aide in a local hospital.

    I did a plus size modelling shoot and was running 5-10km most days of the week--I'd lost 16 INCHES from my waist, was feeling so fit and healthy and had a beautiful curvy hour glass figure!! I was only 20 pounds away from my goal weight. . .

    and I began dating again and fell in love with an amazing man . . .

    and it was a HUGE surprise to find out after only 4 months with him that I was pregnant . . . and two weeks later we found out I was pregnant with TWINS!!

    I am so blessed after being told that I would never be able to get pregnant and it was with the man of my dreams : )

    In April 2012 I gave birth to Mackenzie and Isabella who are my entire world. I gained a lot of weight back during the pregnancy and after their birth with my PCOS, my inability to nurse and I suffered from postpartum depression. I came here to find motivation and support.

    My starting weight on MFP was 260... I`ve lost 41 POUNDS since the end of October 2012 and have 33 to go!!

    I have PCOS as well. However, I was not diagnosed until AFTER my pregnancy. I have always been bad at getting check ups for myself. However they said they were amazed that I became pregnant, I didn't know I had PCOS, AND my pregnancy was an accident >.< . So NEVER EVER loose hope if you have PCOS. When the time is right you will be pregnant! Just stay positive! If you stress out to much and worry about not becoming pregnant you will make your hormones go even more crazy and it will hinder your chances even more. Just stay calm and have lots of sex!! :laugh: :wink:

    Congrats. I am so very happy for you. I to have pcos and I would like to have a child one day (sooner then later). I have already had my ovary and tube removed on one side due to a large cyst. At the time of my surgery for this my other ovary was quite cystic but due to healthier eating and weight loss my last scan showed no cysts on my remaining ovary,

    You are an inspiration and show there is hope for all of us!

    So nice to hear a success story with PCOS. I was diagnosed when I was 18. I have been happily married for almost 2 years and we have never used birth control. I am currently 23 and am actively trying to get pregnant. I do need to lose some weight, and I hope that will help with the having a baby issue. Its nice to hear of success stories. Makes me feel like there is some hope out there. I am so discouraged over it. Congrats on the pregnancy!

    So happy to hear about your story, congratulations and I pray everything goes well for you and your baby. I also have PCOS and found out I was pregnant on April first. I will be having a Christmas baby as well. I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind. What is your diet like and are you taking a diabetes meds? I have to see a diabetic counselor every four weeks to make sure I don't get gestational diabetes. Have you gained a lot of weight during your first three months? My doctor says I have lost 3 lbs but I sure don't feel it. Since we have similar stories I'd like to get to know you and interchange symptoms and ideas lol! Once again congratulations on your pregnancy. Please request me as a friend.

    I was so happy to see this. I hope that I'm posting a similar story next month.

    I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I don't have enough solid symptoms to confirm PCOS.

    I have taken clomid for 2 rounds with no success last year at 336 pounds.

    I'm almost done taking my first round of femera. I've heard wonderful things about it and I really hope it works. But if losing weight has taught me anything it is to do the best I can with what I have no matter what. If this month isn't it for me I fully intend to keep plugging along. I'm so glad that I don't have to sit around and wait for life to happen to me... I go out and get it. YAY.

    My husband and I have been trying for not very long right now but I have been losing hope already cuz i always thought it would happen fast for me, but apparently it isn't. It is very hard i see everyone else having kids and already know that i will most likely have my period for this month too. But thanks for the post it does give me hope.
