TTC After a Loss
Blindsided...(tears,re's,pcos mentioned)
So i went back in for my u/s this morning to make sure I had collasped. Well she couldent really tell if I had or not. Then she said "at least we can get a confirmed diagnosis of PCOS". 
Ive been so strong with all this and I just lost it. I asked why? Why do you think its PCOS? She said "there are just so many little cysts fighting each other". The Clomid did NOTHING. She said my prometrium was thin and I had very little CM. But continue BDing for the next 72 hours. Hopefully I will get ku this cycle but it sure as hell isnt looking like it.
So, Ladies with PCOS start talking to me. What helps? What gets me ku?

Re: Blindsided...(tears,re's,pcos mentioned)
Clayli, love, I am so so sorry. I can't understand why you have to go through this.
I hope the ladies here have insights. Ask PGAL too, I know Mia and several of the others are all KU with PCOS.
I don't know a whole lot about it. I just wanted to tell u I understand ((((hugs)))
I may be right there with you. I'll know more on Monday. I was blindsided by the ob thinking I've become insulin resistant. I'm terrified. I've been reading up on it, and honestly, it sounds just like I am.......it also resembles pcos and can be commonly connected to it-----so I'm right there with you, hun.
Big ((((((hugs)))))))
We'll get through this together!

I have PCOS, I was diagnosed after my first loss in 2006, my case is mild though. I don't have the insulin resistance or the weight gain. I do have what they call "string of pearl cysts" on both ovaries. Alot of mid-cycle spotting and strange cycles. I was lucky enough that since it isn't severe clomid worked for me. I wonder though have they done a combo of metformin(glucophage) and clomid? What was your clomid dose?
edited....I also have hair growth and bumps that appear around my eyes, I'm not sure if you have any of those. But, I think with the insulin resistance that is when it gets a little harder.

I don't have PCOS but know plenty of people who had babies with that diagnosis. Your doctor is just going to have to find a med that you respond to.
I didn't respond to Clomid, Femara OR Follistim so I know this can be very frustrating. Hang in there and don't give up hope yet.

I was told when I was like 21 that I had PCOS. But my OB kind mentioned it in passing and never said anything about it again. So I did some research of my own. One of problems is insulin resistance which can lead to decreased egg quality or lack of ovulation- Metformin is proven to help this. (I'm not on Metformin yet but if it doesn't happen soon I probably will request trying it). Another thing that can help is going on a low carb diet and losing weight (because it will help regulate your blood sugar).
Does this help at all?

Hey Clayli -
Sorry about your results. I knew that I had PCOS before I was dignosted, but in all honesty, the confirmation after the ultrasound just devistated me. Something about actually being diagnosed with it really took me down.
The good thing about PCOS, is it is one of the most treatable causes of infertility. Most will respond to some sort of treatment option, its just a toss up as to which one. The bad news is the miscarriage rate for PCOS is so high (50%). However, studies are showing that taking metformin (even if you're not insulin resistant) decreases that back down to a "normal" number. Have you been tested for insulin resistance (sorry, I can't remember)?
Sorry the Clomid didn't do much good. What dosage were you on? If it was thining your CM and lining, then it probalby doesn't matter anyways. I'm glad your doc is monitoring you. Did she indicate what the next steps would be if you're not KU this cycle?
There is a check in for PCOS on Infertility.....Tuesday and Thursday mornings (although I think it was changing days). The gal that posts has some great info in her bio on PCOS. Another great source...is www.soulcysters.com. I can spend hours on that site.

I know you feel blindsided by this, but PCOS isn't insurmountable. I hope you can find a great treatment plan soon! {{hugs}}
