    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

    I have PCOS and am currently on the Paleo diet to help with the symptoms and to lose 26lb. I was told I would have issues conceiving as was only having two cycles per year, but I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl who is now 11 weeks old. Don't lose hope! Sending you luck and hugs. PCOS is no fun at all. Feel free to add me if you would like :)

    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 :)

    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.

    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?
