I have several cysts on my ovaries and am overweight. Due to my pcos, I do not ovulate. What are my chances of losing weight, and becoming pregnant by use of fertility drugs?

Hi and goodluck, you sound like me not long ago. Your weight is probably linked to a condition called hyperinsulinemia which is an excess insulin production that leads to insulin resistance which in turn leads to weight gain. This is strongly linked to PCOS. I took a 2 sided attack to my problem 14 months ago and now have a 3 month old!
1. Weight loss - 2 months on Atkins diet controlling carbohydrates and I lost over 15 kilograms (more than 30 pounds)
2. THEN I began ONE five day course of progesterone followed by ONE five day course of clomid.
Two weeks later I was pregnant! A challenging pregnancy and diabetes for the last half, but a gorgeous 6lb boy as a result.
Good luck!

If you try metformin it will make you lose weight and then you will be on the road to becoming pregnant. I havePCOS and was put on Metformin and a year laterI was pregnat.my pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 6 months, but that was due to stress. But also if you try to lose weight on your own then you will ovulate and become pregnant.
