can a person with pcos conceive naturally?

Question

if am taking medicines for my periods to come how can i conceive naturally

Answer 1

Yes, I did last April. I wouldn't advise it though...because those with PCOS have a higher risk of miscarriage. I had a missed miscarriage in June. =( I didn't really know the risk of miscarriage was higher and had to find out the hard way. I moved...saw a new doctor and he told me to get on Metformin right away. It helps in so many ways. (Regulating ovulation, preventing miscarriage, etc.) I went in on September 18th because I hadn't ovulated since my D&C. He prescribed Metformin and the same day I started taking it. I track BBT temperatures and noticed that I ovulated that same day. Two weeks later I got a positive HPT. I'm now 10 1/2 weeks pregnant and have had several ultrasounds...things are looking great. I'm still taking Metformin and taking progesterone until I pass the 1st trimester. He said there's more benefits in taking Metformin than disadvantages.

See about going on Metformin. I just had to watch the amount of carbs I ate with my med. but once I got used to it I could eat anything with it. They say it takes up to six months for Metformin to become fully effective. I was fortunate and it worked right away.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Answer 2

Some people with PCOS can, although it usually takes a lot longer for them than regular women. My reproductive endocrinologist told me that if PCOS is the only problem, most women will get pregnant within 4 years of trying. I have severe PCOS and took clomid and metformin at high doses for several months before even ovulating. I still didn't conceive and later found out that I also had a polyp in my uterus. So sometimes there can be other issues besides PCOS if it is taking a really long time to conceive.

Answer 3

yes you can. The best thing you can do to get pregnant with PCOS is to lose weight. Even a loss of a few lbs can regulate your cycle and cause you to ovulate. I have PCOS and have 2 children and have been pregnant 5 times. It's definetely possible. Follow a lower carb diet, high fiber as well. That is the best diet for PCOS. Good luck.

Answer 4

I was told 20 years ago as a teenager that I would liekly never have ANY children due to severe PCOS. I had my first at 22 years old. I then spent 5 years seriosuly TTC, clomid, BBT charting etc. I have since remarried and am due any day with my third. ALL 3 naturally concieved.

Answer 5

yes, but for some it can be real difficult, I am as young as can be, never knew my ovaries have so many cycts, I have been try for nearly 5 years on my own, I even tried clomid for 4 cycles, I am currenlty taking metformin and would be back on clomid when af arrive, so yes its a 50/50 thing
