Answer 1

CONGRATS!!! I love hearing sucess stories about PCOS women who have concieved!! I think it gives hope to all those trying! I have PCOS too and I have had two children. With the first, my period came back 4 weeks after delivery, and then 4 weeks after that, until about the 6-th or 7-th cycle, then I went back to periods every 5 months or so. I was really dissapointed, I thought everything was back to normal, and that I was healed, and to my disapointment I wasnt. I tried taking better care of myself and taking Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, somehow that helped, and I lost about 10 lbs, and started regular periods, by my third supposed to be period, I was pregant again! Anyways again after the delivery 4 weeks later, there was my "aunt FLOW" and agin and agin, now its about every 45 days, and slowly disapearing (it only last about 3 days) When I talked to my OBGYN he told me, and I cant say if its true or not, but he told me that while your pregnant, your PCOS is temporilily "cured" because your hormones are not waitinmg for the ebb and flowof a monthly cycle, intead pregnacy hormones kick in and generally take over, its hard to be high testosterone and pregnant! So my advise is eat healthy, lots of fresh foods, salads, helthy whole grains, and just try moderate (take it very slow after labor) excerisie to get you moving, I think that in the beging of your post pardom you are shedding lots of weight pretty fast, which keeps your estrogen higher then your testserone levels, once you platuro your hormones get wacky again, but if you get a head start you may end up managing PCOS and keeping it in the "silent" phase, also just letting you know, your VERY fertile right now, after baby your body needs time to heal (thats why your doct propbably told you that breastfeeding may delay ovualation for a few month, if you are breastfeeding) Anyway though, once you start to menstrate, somehow you are prone to become pregnant again, if that something you want go fo it, but if it were up to me I would wait until you feel you have enough energy to care for 2 kids, cause you know how it is when your pregnant, and sleep feels so good! Girl you know how much sleep your missing now, just wait until you have 2! Its a blessing though, just when your ready...any way, I got off track, I would also recomend you check out the message boards on www.soulcysters.net they have a message board just for new mommies with PCOS!!!

Congrats on your baby!

No one can predict. However, women with PCOS tend to be more regular the first few months after giving birth. The pregnacy sort of keeps our hormones more normal (I know that sounds like it doesn't make sense) so it takes a few months before the insulin resistance wacks out our hormone balance again. (that's the laymen's way of explaining it. LOL).

Keep in mind something very important. PCOS is not just a fertility issue. You should treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to conceive. Here's some basic facts about PCOS:

I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist.

The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going on an insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) combined with a low carb diet and exercise. There are a few important things to know:

1. Many women "pass" the test for IR, but still respond positively from the metformin. No one knows exactlly why..my thought is that the test is not a sure fire way of detecting the IR.

2. You must be on a high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though they've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are hesitant to up the dose past 1500mg...but for some of us it takes more. I don't respond until my dose is around 2000mg a day.

3. It can take a few months on the correct dose, before your body is regulated.

4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to get pregnant. There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks are lowered.

I also recommend a couple web sites:

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhp... This one is a great message board where you can ask all your PCOS questions or just chat with the women who are also dealing with PCOS. Good luck.

Answer 5

I was diagnosed with PCOS 12 years ago. I am pregnant now and did it without fertility drugs. Some PCOS patients do need to use fertility to conceive but some do not. Since you have been trying for a year and a half then I recommend before using drugs to have your man checked. If he has problems you need to deal with that first. A bit of advise don't dwell on it as it will only make it hard to conceive. Good luck.

Answer 6

First of all.. Congrats on the birth of your child. Being on Clomid and giving birth and then throw in PCOS, it is hard to determine if you will be regular. The clomid helps you stay regular because of the PCOS, and then giving birth messes that all up.. It is quite possible that you had some break through bleeding this month and will not sustain a normal period for the next few months. However, every woman is different. If you have a concern, then I would talk to your OB GYN. If not, then just always be prepared!

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/I83SJ
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.
