Hi everyone Im 22 and about a year ago i found out I have pos. I have been trying to get pregnent now for 5 years I was married and because we never did get pregant that marrige ended. But I have been with my boyfriend now for over a year and he knows I have this. But Im still not too sure much about it. the doctors have put me on metformin and I had two doses of clomid. Which didnt help, I know he can have kids as he has two with his ex. Does anyone have any ideas on what eles I can try ?? Im not too much over weight I weigh 190 and Im 5'5 so its not too bad but I do find Im starting to get hair on my ***** which I hate) but my doctor said he doesnt want to put me on anything for it saying the less pills Im on the better chance I have to get pregnant. Anyways Im the only one in my family to have this my mom had 5 kids my older sister has 3 the rest of my siblings are too young but I feel as if everyone around me is having a baby some please help me understand what I have. Thank you so much Cassandra

Hi Cassandra! Question EVERYTHING....and asks for tests. Also...remember that you are paying this dr....and he/she WORKS for you...so if you are not happy....fired them....and get another one that will help. Maybe they need to do an HSG on you...where they test the patency of your tubes...if you have not had that already. There are lots of tests that can be done to help find out what is going on. Be assertive. I know that some people think that drs are God...but they are not...and don't know everything. Ask lots of questions...arm yourself with information and if you are really ready to be pregnant...and what they are doing is not working...move on to a different dr....maybe a RE. That is my best advice for you. Hugs, Stephanie

Hi. Agree. Ask alot of questions. I had the same problem. My husband and I tried for 2 years and after 1 miscarriage starting asking questions. 2 docs told me i was young no to worry (27yrs) Finally I found a doc to listen to me and they found I had PCOS. They referred me to a fertility clinic. After 1 miscarriage, 1 tubal pregnancy, loss of twin boys, I FINALLY had my daughter. I had an incompetent cervix which no one caught until I lost my sons.. BOttom line, GET SOME ANSWERS.. Ask to be referred. I was on fertility meds for almost 3 years but well worth it... You may be more fortunate to have better results quicker. My horomones were so off that it took a long to regulate them... Best of Luck... Your not alone.

I know exactly what your going through. I too have been diagnosed with PCOS and I hate it. I am overweight. I weigh 227 lbs. and am only 5'3. I know that I need to lose weight and have tried and tried and tried. I would love to have bariatric surgery to help me lose the weight, however, my husband says this is a no, no. I'm a lot older than you, I'm 33 and my biological clock is ticking away. My husband and I have only been married 2 years, however, we have had no chances of pregnancy. I too am on metformin and have been for 2 years. I have been to a fertility specialist and had the PPG (I think that is what it is called) test where they go up inside and make sure your tubes, uterus, etc.. are okay. It was VERY painful. My husband has had every kind of test, along with I. My problem is that I've never had regular menstrual cycles and do not ovulate. I've been on clomid and letrozole and nothing worked. I know your feelings and it gets very emotional around my house. It seems like everyone that I work with is getting pregnant and all my cousins and friends are getting pregnant and it KILLS me that I can't have a child. My fertility doctor in Louisville told me to do Invitro Fertilization, but that costs so much money, and what if it doesn't work. We've even thought about adopting a child from a foreign country. I just know that its so hard seeing everyone around me with their children or being pregnant and all I do is cry myself to sleep every night. I wish there was some miracle cure, but there isn't. All I can do is pray and pray and pray some more. I also am going to have to get myself motivated to lose some weight. I do think that would help a lot, I just can't get myself motivated. I do believe that Im going through depression over this matter. I can't even stand to see others people small babies and children. Doesn't that sound terrible!!!!!

I have PCOS and the doctor had me on metformin and clomid. It took a bit and I got PREGO with QUADS!I have pictures of them in my profile.Anyways,there are other meds the doctors can get you on.I don't know the name of it off the top of my head.Did they put you on the higest dose of clomid?First thing you need to do is relax!The more you try to become prego,the harder it is.Talk to your OBGYN.I ended  up going to a endocrinologist who got me prego.My OBGYN wasn't doing anything for me.Hope this helps alittle.Good luck and God speed!
