This is a list of women who are dealing with PCOS. Anyone can join in, so let me know if you want to be on this list! We can keep track of everyone?s cycle, offer advice, and support for each other. We check in every Tuesday and Thursday, and the check-ins can always be found in the PCOSbio.
Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust to everyone!

Let us know how you are doing. If you have any questions for the group to answer, feel free to ask.
As you can see I have cleaned up the list with only the ladies who have checked in within the last three months. I am going to do a quarterly clean sweep, so if you want to rejoin, just let me know.
QOTD: How long have you known you have PCOS? How long have you been trying to get pregnant?
Re: ~*~*~ PCOS Check-In ~*~*~
I got the official Dx in 2005 when I started TTC. I got pg with DS on my first cycle of clomid/IUI/met/trigger. We have been TTC #2 since June.
update: i'm on CD11 and waiting for a positive OPK.
I've been TTC since Dec. '07.
I have my second RE appt on Monday!
I finally gave up on working with my OB/GYN and called up an RE. My appt is 10/20, so I'm just kind of biding my time until then.
QOTD: How long have you known you have PCOS? How long have you been trying to get pregnant?
I kind of guessed I had PCOS after reading about it I think on BOTB and then doing some googling. It was confirmed in June. We've been trying since Feb '08.
QOTD: I've always known something was "wrong" with me, but didn't know what until Jan. '07. We started not trying to not get pg just before we got married, so julyish of '06, but we started actually trying in Jan. '07 after my dx. So almost 2 years officially now...

Good morning ladies!
Not much new here -- had what I think is my first ever +OPK last Sunday. I am hoping I o'ed and waiting to see AF on its own or a BFP! I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of days. I'm not sure if it is the met, stress or something else. RE wants me to stay on the met alone until mid to late October.
I had no idea I had PCOS until going off BCP in 8/07. Prior to BCP I had normal cycles and was very regular. Since coming off my cycles have been all over the place. My OB/GYN suspected it in 5/08 but i didn't get dx until 9/08.
Hi. I would be okay except for this month long AF.
QOTD: I think the doctors suspected it with me at 14 but only confirmed around 16 but didn't make a big deal of it at all. I didn't know the effect it would have on my fertility.
Update: Still waiting on AF for CD3 bloodwork. This is the end of week 1, and it should've been here by now. 5 more weeks until the doctors want to hear from me about my MIA period.
qotd: I was asked if I knew what it was back in 2001 by a NP, but since I wasn't sexually active, she didn't worry about it and by the time I was married, I had moved, so by the time I was diagnosed it was May 2005. I started clomid in May 2007. Kinda weird since I had all these weird symptoms but no idea that they were all tied together.
*PCOS bio* *Cold Hands, Warm Heart*
Still in the 2ww post-clomid and hoping that I might have a chance - this particular RE also didn't take much stock in the lining measurement since he didn't know how the reading was done (and it was by a fellow) - he drew progesterone and I get the results tomorrow - I just hope I'm pg so I don't have to do this anymore
I never had any mentrual issues until I turned 27 - around that time I was stressed, put on some weight (and kept gaining weight). My amenorrhea has come and gone in the last 2 years too - sometimes I cycled regularly for months - other times I went 2-3 months before a bleed.....we've been really trying since last March/April (so about 6-7 months) - most of that time I had no cycles and was anovulatory so I didn't even have a shot....
I went down to an unhealthy weight around age 20 due to stress. My periods stopped and my ob/gyn put me on bcp. Around that time is when I also started to notice a little bit of facial hair. So, looking back on it now, I could have actually been suffering from PCOS back then, not just the low weight.
I went off BCP in Sept. 07. No periods and more hair, everywhere. I read something about PCOS and thought it could be what I had. My ob/gyn ran blood tests on me in March 08, but didn't check testosterone. More tests in July and an ultrasound, which confirmed PCOS.
Well we had our consult and bearing our second opinion looks like we are going to be cycling for IVF in November.
QOTD: I didn't know I had PCOS or even what it was until I was diagnosed with it about three years ago. We have been trying for almost 5 years now
I'm taking a break for a month or so to focus on me...lose weight and take a break from the emotional roller coaster of TTC.
QOTD: I was officially diagnosed in 2006 but I've had symptoms since high school. TTC since August 2006.
My real name is Rita and we've been ttc since April 07.
QOTD: I've known for 16 years now and we've been ttcing for 18 months.
Its 8dpiui today, just waiting til beta.
QOTD: I have know of the PCOS for a year and have been TTC for a little over a year.
