meaning a cyst in the ovary, which gives you less chance of having children.

Yes, I have PCOS. Was diagnosed with it approximatly 3 months ago. I was having pains on my right side and my doctor done some labs and test and an ultrasound and noticed that my right ovary had lots of little cysts on it. She started treating me by giving me glucophage. Which is a medicince to help regulate your bodys insulin. I had known for quite some time that my body was producing to much insulin but never thought that there was a cause for it. Secondly she wanted to get my hormones straightned out and wanted to put me on Yasmin, birth control, only problem is that the reason that I wanted to get everything figured out is because my husband and I were TTC! So she told me that once I started ovulating she would put me on CLOMID, to help me ovulate....
This is just my personal experience and I hope it helps.
Good Luck and God Bless!!!

I was diagnosed 5 years ago with it. I have been artificially inseminated and everything and it did not work. Well I decided a year ago to eat well and get fit since fertility drugs make you gain weight, and in august of this year i got pregnant naturally. I am now 17 weeks.
When i had a cyst removed 4 years ago it was borderline cancer because of how big it had gotten. I was hopeless and never thought I'd get pregnant.
So there is HOPE. I got pregnant naturally and I'm due in April.
If anyone would like to talk about it I'd be very happy to help because I've been going through this for a long time and I would say I'm a little bit of an expert because I did so much research on everything there is to know about POS and infertility.
Here is my email rachpelle@hotmail.com.

Hello,
I have PCOS & have had since i was 17 years old, i am now 23 & 13 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.

Meaning several cysts, actually. I was diagnosed in early March, but they treated me right away (I saw the ultrasound of my ovaries and WOW) and I'm 25 weeks pregnant. Find a doctor that will answer your questions and give you information on your condition and treatment options. I had no help from here. I found that entering PCOS into Google or Yahoo! Search turned up a lot of support and information pages, but have a good doctor to talk to also.

Best thing to do is go to a reproductive endocrinologist. They are experts in PCOS and can help you with the medical management and if you want to get pregnant, they help with that also. The problem is not necessarily problems with cysts on the ovaries (that's just a sign that you have it). Research today shows that the problems lies in an imbalance of hormones and insulin resistance.
Please look at this website, tons of great info and support: http://www.pcosupport.org/

Yes, I do. It's murder having periods, cos you go for months not having one then find you can't cope with the massive amount of blood loss.
I'm worried more about the periods than the cysts & not all that concerned about having kids - like most of you are.

My aunt has it so bad, she'll never have children and my cousin has it, she's had one child already and is due again in February. You do have less chance of having children, but it is still possible depending on how severe it is.

Yes, my girlfriend has it, but if you check the blog on my 360 profile you'll see you still can have kids and neither of us are youngsters!! And just as sarajbc85, above, said it was a real surprise for both of us.
