I've read all over the internet about other women whose ttc with PCOS, and has been trying for so many years and still isn't pregnant, I've been putting up a fight with ttc for a real long time now (for a few years now) but just recently found out I have PCOS, I was put on clomid alone 50mg I done do 2 rounds of it, nest month the dose would up to 100mg, my body still doesn't feels to be ovulating, having a child is all I've ever wanted, Am not sure where I went wrong, I just wan to be normal and have kids, even if it only takes me having one child, y can't I conceive normal like the others, I know deep down inside i'll be a good mother, I just want to feel good for once, my sister has no problem conceiving, younger girls have no problem, older ladies have no problem, y do I, I hate PCOS with a passion, I wan to give up on everything, my fiance' wants a baby so bad but not as bad as I, I am so scared to tell him am having difficulties conceivng, anyone out there conceive on clomid?

What cycle did you conceive on, and what mg?

Answer 1

I know what your going through. I have pcos and I am now on my second round of clomid of 100mg, the first one was only 50mg and did not help me ovulate. I am now waiting the typical two weeks to find out if I am pg this time. My husband and I really want to be parents and we have been trying for three years. I found out that I have pcos two years ago when I started getting lots of extra hair on my face and abdomen where a women does not normally get hair. I have come a very long way to be able to become a mommy. I have had gastric bypass surgery in 06 and I have lost 140 pounds, then I had to have fertility surgery to correct the defect in my tubes which left me with half of a tube on my right side to get pg with. My second round of clomid did help me ovulate but I think it come from my left ovary (the side with no tube) so i am a bit concerned if the egg found its way to the right side and into my uterus, I am a very strong believer in miracles from God and I am believing for you as well. Just stay calm and relax because the biggest reason most couples don't conceive pcos or not is because they let the stress level take over there bodies and dreams. Stress is the biggest fertility killer and as long as you remind yourself of that when stress starts backing you into a corner, you will be OK. you really should talk to your fiance' about your fertility issues after all it takes two to make a baby and he is going to be your husband, be honest with him and the both of you can get through this TOGETHER please don't leave him out of the loop. take the braids of a rope as a metaphor, when you have only one strand the rope is weak but if you put more strands to the rope the stronger it becomes. I wish you all the luck in the world, keep the faith, if it is meant to be it Will happen.

Answer 2

I also have PCOS, have you been tested for insulin resistance? If not, do so immediately. Metformin, a diabetic medication, can be used to help control PCOS in those that are insulin resistant. It's good to do a combination of this and Clomid (I'm actually doing it now). Clomid can be used alone to assist a woman with PCOS in ovulating more regularly (I recently read this on the Clomid packaging sheet).

You may; however, have better luck with the combination of both.

TTC is so very difficult and even more so with PCOS to get in the way. It is possible to get pregnant with PCOS, I've done it twice. The first child, I miscarried, it took two years to get the second child who is almost 20 months and we've been working on number 3 since he was born!!

Good Luck!!

Answer 3

I agree. One of the best ways to manage PCOS and TTC is to get an insulin resistance test. If that comes back + then see an endocrinologist. Tell them you are TTC and get on metformin. try and get to a healthy active lifestyle. I got on met and lost 13 lbs in one month and got pregnant. I also got pregnant on clomid but was under control on my insulin resistance at the time. I cannot stress how important weight loss is to those who have PCOS. A lot of times it can kick start ovulation again which is the main issue PCOSers have problems conceiving. Good luck

Answer 4

i haven't any sturdy solutions, all i understand is that my husband and that i've got been unprotected for 5 years and nevertheless no longer something. I propose you talk on your OB/GYN approximately seeing an endocrinologist. I unquestionably have been taking Metformin for some years that's meant to help with the indications of PCOS. Then i began out taking Clomid some months in the past. (a fertility drug) yet you could in basic terms take that as quickly as you initiate a era and devoid of BC I unquestionably have by no potential been time-honored. i visit pass everywhere from 28 days to 9 months between classes. yet incredibly everyone seems to be distinctive and powerful success!!

Answer 5

I concieved without the clomid, even though I always thought I would need it. I was following a low-carb diet (to help with the insulin resistance) and it seemed to make things work. I recommend following a lower carb diet along with the clomid. It could help

Answer 6

Following a low carb diet to help your insulin levels would be a great start. Also you might want to make sure your doc is giving you the right stuff for what u have. My doctor is helping me with this and I have ovulated for the first time in a while.

Good Luck!! DONT GIVE UP, It can happen.......

Answer 7

Clomid is typically not the best solution for PCOS. First it is best to try and get the PCOS under control.

Please make sure you are working with a fertility specialist and one that has experience with PCOS.

Answer 8

don't stress that makes things worse...I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist if you haven't already. Often it just takes the right timing...have you tried charting your Basal Body Tempurature...can't get pregnant if you don't ovulate and the chart can help you time when you ovulate to have sex
