Anyone from here successful with ttc treaments?
right now I am undergoing treatments with Femara, Follistim and Ovidrel. I just went through the first round and according to the test yesterday it was negative... so I have to wait again until I get a period to do round 2 again. My dr only does treatment 4 times... it is my only hope to become a mom.
I am also taking Fortamet (Metformin) to help assist me even more with ovulation 2000mg a day.
I have been praying so much for a baby.. it's my biggest dream.. I know i have to keep my faith.
No matter what Dr says, God is the ultimate doctor.
Anybody with PCOS gotten pregnant with treatments???
Thank you.

I had started REALLY TTC last year in March. I was put on Provera, Metformin and Clomid. After 6 rounds no pregnancy. But I was still getting my period so just kept trying to do the OPK thing and BD around the time of the +. (after the 6 rounds of clomid I stopped taking it)
Now I am currently trying the herbal way. I'm taking Vitex, Maca, and Royal Jelly. I've read it can take up to 3 months to regulate your system. I sure hope so because I am on CD48 as of today with no O in sight. And last cycle I got up to CD46 before I ovulated. It's so freakin stressful.
ANYWAY- I wanted to let you know of a support site called Soulcysters.com
There are thousands and thousands of women/girls on there. And there are alot of successful outcomes with Ovidrel, Femara, Clomid, etc. So there is hope. I'm not sure if I am as hopeful as I once was. But I should be because there are so many women with PCOS that are getting preggo! Good luck!

YEs, it can happen !!
I was told i was infertile and would need massive amounts of intervention to conceive..well my son surprised me being born in 2003..then i miscarried three times and went back to the fertility specialist..he monitored the heck outa of me and unfortunately, I reacted to mosts meds he gave me even the clomid and had a horrible reaction to metformin..so he kinda threw in the towel and just monitored me with bloodwork and u/s..so i decided to see a naturopath and an acupuncturist trained in fertility ...did all kinds of herbs and supplements, i cut out chocolate, caffeine and white bread etc..ate tons of broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage appraently they contain some properties to balance your estrogens etc..so low and behold i conceived with my daughter and we used some progesterone suppositories right away to try to avoid another miscarriage and she was born on august 15th 2008...i also tied my tubes at the time of her c-section..i am getting older and could not take any more losses...
it can be a rough road but oh the rewards are soooo sweet
have faith and explore ALL available options and listen closely to your own body..try some meditation cd's that are specific for trying to conceive..gets you 'in tune' with your body and it helped me along the way..I am willing to try anything especially when western medicine gave up on me.
good luck and dumping a truck load of baby dust all over you!!!

Yes it can!!! I had a stillbirth at 25 weeks back in 1997 and then 5 miscarriages after. I was diagnosed with type two diabetes and "possible" PCOS in October 2004. I was put on Metformin, Wellbutrin and Lexapro, dropped 80 pounds and conceived triplets (without fertility interventions aside from artificial insemination). I delivered healthy, full term twin girls in July 2006. The third embryo ended up not being viable and reabsorbed in my system betwee 7-10 weeks gestation.
They are 4 now and my partner and I want another child after I finish nursing school in 2012-2013.
