I discovered i had pcos 5 years ago and have been trying for a baby since and have found it real difficult. I was advised by my specialist at my fertility clinic that of i didn't loose weight he would not treat me so i lost so much weight, i went from a size 22 to a 14 and went on Clomid but was not succesful and like many others it made me so emmotional i drove my partner crazy because all i ever did was cry when i was taking it. I hav since come off clomid as it also made me gain weight and then had constant bleeding for 12 weeks and am waiting until the end of this month before i go back to my specialist for my next lot of treatment but i just know he will tell me to loose weight again!!! My worst nightmare is that i will never get pregnant and live my dream of becoming a mummy.

Hello,
I have PCOS & have had since i was 17 years old, i am now 23 & 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby. When myself & my partner started trying for a baby i had heard a few thing may help the process which if you are keen enough for a baby...you will try.
1) Lose weight if needed, i lost 3 & a half stone, went from 13 stone to 9 stone & 5 lbs. Improves your BMI.
2) Quit smoking (and your partner if they smoke, it is a proven fact that smokers find it harder to conceive)
3) Drink plenty of water (i drink at least 3 litres a day) but as long as you drink at least 1 - 1 & a half litres it will help, flushes your body out & keeps you healthy (and very good for skin).
4) Maybe do a little expercise, i walked a mile every evening.
These all are supposed to help, for the first 6 months i was sat worrying & stressing about how long it was going to take as nothing was happening, but after changing my lifestyle a little & helping my body get healthier i concieved in 9 months, naturally.
Dont sit & worry about how long its taking, this will only make it worse, take it as it comes & as soon as your body is ready it should throw it at you when you least expect it, like it has me. I am due the same day as my mums wedding & counting the days back from my 1st scan i conceived on my 23rd birthday!!! Made it all even more special.
Good luck, i hope it all goes well.
G xx

I discovered about the same time (5 years ago) that I have PCOS also. This June, I was told I am a likely candidate 95% sure that I would never have kids.
I was very disappointed. I was offered 3 procedures from my gynaecologist, but thought these were very invasive. It is not life threatening I thought, and said I'm a big believer in nature taking its course. There are medicine out there, like the pill to regulate your period, and I didn't want that option. I was given Metformin. This brings the hormone level somewhat regular in your body. I was told to loose weight and I'm only a size 12!! Most people can take this tablet, but this gave me whoppers of headaches and couldn't take them any more. I found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant.. I took a test and couldn't believe my eyes. I thought it was a faulty test and took another one a few days after. Went to the doctor and he confirmed it.
Don't worry about it, easy to say but hard to do. You need to be healthy and well within yourself first and that is a great start for you. It will happen for you and you will be a great mother.
Best of luck to you.

I also have PCOS and am not yet in a position where I need to worry about pregnancy, but it is still an issue for me, so I totally empathise with you. I have read a number of success stories using herbal remedies and accupuncture, as well as diet being a big influence in PCOS, as in not what you weigh, but what you eat. I wish you all the best, and hope it works out dfor you

Hi i have pcos and tried for ages to get pregnant with no luck.
I had all tests etc. I just so happened to try herbs and the next month i was pregnant. I now have 3 children.
Don't know if it was just coincidence or whether the herbs really worked but i think that thery did.
Have you ever thought about trying natural remedies. you never know they might help !!

You should try a different doctor. I have PCOS and I am currently a size 14. My doctor has no problem treating me and doesn't get on me about my weight. He wants me to be mental stable instead of a wreak thinking about my weight. Going from a 22 to 14 is a big drop and should help increase your chances. You doctor should make you feel comfortable about yourself and the situation.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/H23ct
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/f87e9

Hi, I was sorry to read about your experiences, but please stay positive. I am not in your position and cannot imagine the pain you must be going through, but I hope it happens for you very soon. Mrs Beckham has also got pcos, and look at her, she has 3 kids. Her problem is the opposite - she is toooo skiny and this can also have adverse effects on the body. So, please, remain positive - a positive mental attitude can play a great role in success.
