Okay! So today one of my worst fears have come true...My doctor called me and told me that my lab work returned and it's postive that I have PCOS...I have two of the main symtoms, Excessive Facial hair and weight gain....Tho my periods have been regular since I was 11 I am now 22 this month....I moved to MO in 02 and have gained 50 pounds....I am constantly up and down...I have to eat at least 1000 calories or less and excercise for at least a hour and half every day in order to loose weight...OKay so after this horrifying converstation we made a appoinment for next week to talk about everything and consdier our options I guess...
My question is, Has anyone gone through this PCOS? Were you able to concieve? Also, are you put on medication for this disorder to help with facial hair, weight, etc?? I know i will have to ask doctor these questions to, But i'm just wantin other peoples experiences or knowledge.what to look forwards to and to ask him...i dont want to forget anything..thnx

Hello there! I am going to be 32 within the next few months. And I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19. I also have had the fight of facial hair and excessive weight. I have not been as fortunate to have reg. periods as you do. When I was 21 I met my hubby and we married a year later. We ttc from our honeymoon night on. No luck. We tried for 3yrs. Before we said forget it, we need help. I found an awesome, ob/gyn who spec. in infertility. He wrote me a prescrip. for clomid. We tried for 6months. On month 6, we found out we were preg. That baby girl is now 5yrs. old and gifted. 3yrs. after "our miracle" baby was born, our 2nd "suprise miracle" was born. For our second, we did not even start "trying". I did get off the pill, thinking we would probably never concieve again. Surprise! 2 months after stopping the bc. pill I found out the flu I thought I had, was actually my preg. with my 2nd daughter who is now two.Good luck and God Bless!

I have PCOS as well , my symptoms are irregular menstruation, facial hair and weight gain. Aside from having PCOS, I have a retroverted uterus also. I already tried Provera, Clomid (Clomifene) but still no luck in conceiving. But of course its a case-to-case basis so just ask your Doctor for what is best for you.

If your periods are regular then you should have no problem getting pg. There are meds to help with the other symptoms but some are not safe during pregnancy.
