I have endometriosis. I was married to my ex husband for 10 years and we never conceived.
We divorced and I met my fiance. We tried for 18 months and still nothing. I had never been pregnant in my life and had to have loads of tests including a laparoscopy last November. We were told we'd need ICSI (which we couldn't afford to pay for).
I used to hate listening to these girls bragging about "Oh I only have to think about sex and I'm pregnant" - I felt like such a failure.
And then in March this year I got pregnant naturally!
My mum in law has PCOS and also sustained severe damage to her reproductive organs from a vicious attack by a paedophile when she was 9 years old (she was stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen and left for dead).
Doctors told her she would never ever be able to conceive and even if she did she would never carry a baby to term.
She went on to have three children - my fiance, his brother and their sister (and is about to be a granny for the first time when our baby is born). She did have two miscarriages but managed to carry three babies to term!
So it can happen.
What helped me conceive, I think, was the laparoscopy I had last November.
If you really can't do it naturally then think about assisted technologies like IUI, IVF or ICSI. Women with PCOS often have great success with these technologies.
The fact that you have been pregnant 3 times shows that you can conceive. I had never conceived IN MY LIFE (aged 34) and I still did it naturally (don't know how but I did!!) I had spiritual healing, took some time off work, started taking vitamins and that month I was pregnant!
Keep your chin up. You have conceived before and I'm sure you will again!

Well done on having the enodometriosis treated. This will improve your chances at least. Polycystic ovaries are a different thing, I presume you are being treated for that too?
You may have to consider IVF at some stage, but you don't say how old you are. If you are still in your twenties, you ahve plenty of time.
Consider your whole body; Consider acupuncture to help you concieve - purify your diet and lifestyle- don't smoke. keep alcohol to a minimum or cut it out. Reduce sugars and processed foods, focus more on vegetables and fruits.
Maybe consult a herbalist; modern medicine does not have all the answers.
Above all, be kind to yourself. It is so hard not to be uptight when the month has come around again and you have yet another period. Try to relax. Go for massages. Love yourself and love each other. We have the capability to heal ourselves from within.
I am so sorry for the loss of your baby, but at least you know you can get pregnant. I think next time will be fine. Good luck.

You can definately still become a mom, lots of people miscarry at some stage. unfortunately pcos does make it more likely to miscarry pregnancies, but if you go to the docotor they can put you on a drug called metformin which helps regulate your body, which aids in ovulation. you then keep taking it for the first three months of pregnancy, and it helps to stop miscarriage. Hopefully the endometritus has been sorted the the surgery for you.
for help and support visit www.pcosupport.org go onto the discussion boards and you will find amazing support and advice for pcos and trying to concieve. I'm a regular so I'll see you there

I don' t know the stats, but why would you be taking such a huge risk with your health to be anything.
Can't you build a building, paint, or jump rope, and make your place in the word without tearing yourself up?
And again with the "partner" business. What is so horrible about getting married before having babies. The world is a scarey enough place without the 2 people in the world a child CAME from can't make it legal and at least semi-permanent? Where is the stability, the history, the heritage in that?
Why are you so desperate to become a mum? What is going to be fixed by it?
My solution: adopt a handicapped child thaat no one else can handle. That ought to keep you busy for 50 years..

Firstly I am so sorry for your losses.
My advice to you would be to try and adopt. Getting pergnant tends to happen when you are focused on something else. Also if you have an adopted child you will have something to take your mind of the stress of trying and miscarrying.
There are so many unwanted children out there. By adopting you are giving a child a life.

My mom's best friend has had 4 miscarriages in the past for various reasons and just gave birth to a healthy baby boy 3 days ago! If the doctors think you are OK to keep trying never give up! Good luck and God bless.

hi there, you need to ask your doctor to refer you to a gynaecologist . are you overweight as this can be a major factor in polycistic ovaries, if so try and lose weight sensibly. operations are available for endometriosis, also operation called laparoscopy and dye. this is where a blue dye is inserted into your uterus and to see if your tubes are blocked. this is done by a scope inserted into your bellybutton( same as the endometriosis op) if you see you gynae doctor you could also get them, if they don't do this to refer you to a fertility nurse or specialist. ultimately they can give you the answer you need.good luck luci

You should start by not wanting to get pregnant, just have sex everyday or every other day and don't think about getting pregnant, just have fun with your partner. Get more useful information and guides to get pregnant here https://tr.im/9Yh4b
after sex-put a pillow under your butt or prop your feet up on the wall so your pelvis is tilted
eat healthy
back off caffiene
workout, even if its just a 20 minute walk a day, be active.
