how do you overcome PCOS for pregnancy?

Answer 1

Hello,

I have PCOS & have had since i was 17 years old, i am now 23 & 31 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.

All the things Gemma suggested are certainly helpful. But don't be discouraged if that doesn't work for you. Some people with PCOS aren't stimulated to ovulate with just a little weightloss and exercise.

For me, I was on Metformin for a year because I was found to be insulin resistant (a large percentage of PCOS women are)- that is supposed to regulate the way your body uses insulin, which in turn lowers your testosterone, which in turn allows your female hormones to thrive. That in itself may make you ovulate. But if it doesn't, your doctor may recommend using metformin in combination with a fertility drug (that directly stimulates ovulation), called Clomid. That is highly effective.

So don't worry, there is hope!

stressful huh? yeah well i am in the process of trying to conceive and i just found out i also have pcos. i figured i did because i matched the symtoms. i know how stressful it is b-cause i am in the same boat. all i can say is that in time "we" will be able to conceive and have a healthy baby. it takes patience and the want to thave a child has to overcome your worry about pcos. good luck, i hope things work out for you.

PCOS treatment; is very cheap in India. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Fly2india4health Consultants. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of Healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI surgery done there and she is more than very happy with the results. She is all praise for Fly2india4health Consultants. She paid just 20% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. Hope this helps
