Hello Ladies....I was wondering If I could get some advice and hear some of the stuff you've gone through or are going through. I've had PCOS for about 10 years now, and Ive been on Metformin for years as well. Me and my husband have been actively trying for about 4 years to get pregnant. We adopted a little boy about 15 months ago. But have since decided that we want to try to have a biological child. I just started all the official testing last month. I had the HSG done and my uterus looked great, I had 1 tube open and clear and the other tube was damaged from a prior surgery. They also found several small cysts on each of my ovaries. I had cycle day 3 bloodwork and everything came back normal. The only thing elevated was my testosterone, which goes along with PCOS. Yesterday I had blood work done again and was told that I did not ovulate and that my progesterone was very low. I also forgot to mention that I have type 2 diabetes, which is in control. My GYN also told me today that she does believe I can get pregnant, but its going to be a process because of the PCOS. I have an appt. to go see a infertility specialist next week. So I am excited/scared to see what she is going to say. How has this journey been for you?? Sorry if this sounds jumbled.....Its been a lot to process since I've started hearing all of the news.....

**ALL** Welcome
First appointment was at 6 weeks 1 day, we saw the heartbeat but did not hear it. I spotted my whole pregnancy (always brown and no clots) I was always told that it was normal. I was put on progesterone right away because that was also low. I had an appointment 2 weeks ago at 12 weeks 4 days and found out our baby was just gone. No idea when it happened but my HCG was still up to 37000 and they did not want me to miscarry naturally because my placenta was still growing strong and she thought I would bleed too much.
Since the miscarriage my Dr has told me she believes it is PCOS so I am on spiro for now and will know more after my post op. For me PCOS is so confusing because I feel like I have tried to do everything right and remain healthy and yet its my bodies biology that is fighting me. I too see pregnant people everywhere and everyone seems to do so well no matter what their lifestyle is and I find myself getting angry.
Sorry I know I didnt really give any helpful info I just wanted to let you know I did get pregnant without anything although the egg was not a good one. I am hoping to get my levels to where they need to be in the next 2 1/2 months so we can start trying again. Hang in there you are def not alone!
