ok so i am only 23 and i have had around 5 ruptured cysts since i was 14 years old. i tried to talk to my doctor and he just suggested i get put back on the birth control pill to correct this issue. well first off, i was on the pill all those years origionally to regulate my menstral cycle. basically that was the only options he gave me. honestly he could care less, said it was nothing. well i've been off the pill now for a year and a half and i am now trying to conceive my first child. so far its been 7 months and still no baby. i finally bought those ovulation test strips and so far this month i have never ovulated. i started doing some research and i heard of this polycystic ovary syndrom. i had never heard of it before and it makes me mad that my DR could care less about my issue and then not inform me on this disorder. it said that it can cause infertility and my question is if anyone has ever had this or experienced a ruptured cyst & have you had any problems trying to conceive?

PCOS can, and often does, cause fertility issues. Your best bet would be to A) Get a new doctor. If you think your doctor does not care about you, get a new one. B) Is he your general physician, or your OBGYN. If he is just a general, then talk to an OBGYN about it, the testing is simple blood tests, and an ultra sound..

It sounds like you need a new doctor. I've been diagnosed with PCOS myself. There are different severities of it. You might try citysearch.com for your area to find good ob/gyns or endocrinologists. There are also a lot of blogs and info pages online about polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The treatments can include diabetes drugs such as metformin or actos, estrogen creams, and birth control pills. The best things you can do for yourself is regular cardio exercise on a daily basis and strength training a few times a week (really), and following a low-glycemic index diet (basically very little fast food or trans fats).
PCOS is basically a condition where your body becomes insulin resistant and doesn't use sugar the way it's supposed to. This leads to weight gain and hormonal imbalances that can disrupt ovulation, making you have missed and irregular periods (and be unable to conceive quickly).
I really think you'll be alright. Sometimes it can take up to a year to conceive even with no physical problems. But do find a better doctor who'll take your concerns seriously and who'll know more about what is going on with you.

Hi! I have PCOS. The doctors were clued in when I didn't have a period for three months. I also had gained weight with no explanation. When I was a teenager I would also have cysts. My dr would prescribe birth control to get rid of them. My OB/GYN recommended birth control pills but then I was transfered to a fertility specialist. He said DO NOT go on BCPs. They do not help you, they can make the problem worse hormone wise. The reason they want to put you on BCP is that it will shrink your cysts and hopefully make them go away. If you're uncomfortable with the care you're receiving see someone else. However, just know there are MANY forms of PCOS. It can range from high prolactin (stuff that helps breastmilk) to your sugar levels being out of sorts. But to answer your question, yes it can cause infertility. I went through infertility for 2.5 years thanks to PCOS but THANKFULLY am now 14w pregnant. What worked for me?? Not medications. Watching what I ate, exercising, and relaxing. The first month NOT doing any fertility meds I got pregnant. I wish you tons of luck and babydust!!!

I have pcos, and yes it can course infertility, I have been trying for 4 years almost 5, and its a stuggle, I did fertility med clomid, but it never seems to make me ovulate, so now I am taking metformin, metformin helps you to get your hormones back level so that u can start ovulating on your owns, slow down on carbs, breads, candies, pasta etc, all of these can interfer with conceiving with pcos

Two of my elder sisters, one is not with us anymore, never conceived. One because of an accident, and the other because of your illness. The cyste had to be surgically removed. before there could be a pregnancy that could come to term. but complication destroyed all hope Jose had of ever having children.... She was smitten with mine, but after 1989 she lived abroad and until she died, she never saw them again.... My sister Jose died, of on complication after another building inside in the year 2000. Her husband never told us, untill more then 3 months after her cremation ceremony......
