Encouragement needed! (PCOS)

MtClod

Hello ladies!! My husband and I have been TTC for 14 months - I have pcos & I have been on metformin for two months but this is my first cycle of clomid. While I am very excited to have a plan in order I still feel a little anxious about what it will take to make our miracle happen. I love reading success stories, so I've come here in hopes of some new reading material. What is your story, how did you become a mom w/ pcos?

I have PCOS and was completely anovulatory. Clomid did not work for me, but femara did. I had success with my third round of femara + IUI. Then got a miracle surprise on my 2nd wonky post partum cycle.
Good luck!

this is my story as well I knew I had pcos before we started so we did metformin clomid none of that worked. Stims and trigger with iui worked both times for us! One friend with pcos used clomid and it worked. Hang in there something will work!

I was diagnosed with PCOS in July 2012 after a year of TTC.  I got pregnant after my second Clomid/Ovidrel trigger/IUI.  GL!!

I have pcos and got pregnant with our twins on our third medicated cycle of clomid plus trigger shot. Two months after stopping nursing we just got the shock of a lifetime and are expecting our third and last. Good luck to you!!

I got my BFP after my first IUI cycle. This month, I was totally surprised to O on my own. No idea if I'll get a second BFP this month, but at least I know it's possible to O without meds, for me. 

Good luck on your fertility journey.

Hi.  I have PCOS, and we tried for many years on our own before seeking help from an RE.  We did two monitored cycles of clomid, which revealed I don't respond to clomid.  We did three IUIs, and our third was successful.  Our daughter is four years old, and we've learned that we've gotten pregnant on our own.  (Oops!  Pregnancy resets your body.)  GL!  Don't get too disappointed if the first trick doesn't work.  It's about finding what *will* work.
