PCOS Graduates?

leecrystalwed08 · January 2011

I have a question. How many graduates do we have with PCOS? The more and more stories I read I feel worse and worse. Not loosing hope here but really how freaking long is this stupid process going to take!

I need a little cheering up Tongue Tied

I have PCOS. We concieved with Femara, trigger and IUI. Don't loose hope!!

I have PCOS and we conceived after 3 rounds of Femara+trigger IUI's. (We did 3 rounds of clomid+TI as well but I didn't respond well at all, see siggy).

I hope you get your BFP very soon!

I have PCOS, and I've known it for years before I finally got a doc to listen. At my u/s as part of my diagnosis workup, they said I had an 'impressive' number of cysts. (I have almost all the other 'outward' symptoms too - acne, hair, no periods)

I actually got pregnant while only taking Metformin. I was waiting until my new insurance started in January to do more treatments. I'm not super far along, so I'm still very cautious, but hopefully this gives you hope! I only ovulated twice in 2010, and the first time, my prog. level was only 5.6, which barely counts anyway.

Good luck!!!!

I may not of conceived yet, but I have high hopes! Just had my u/s done today (preparing for IVF with Gonal F and Lupron injections... and on metformin) and I have more than 12 follies!! Maturing perfectly. I am hopeful - and you should be too! Make sure you have a good RE and not just a gyno.. that was the best thing I did!

I have PCOS and conceived DD with clomid and a low carb (or balanced carb) diet. I started metformin in the end of November and plan to give it a couple of months before we start with the clomid again.

I've got pcos. You'll get there, it just takes time. The RE will eventually find the right combo that works for you.

I got lucky with IUI#3 and injectibles.

Good luck! It'll happen.

I have PCOS and my husband has MFI. We had to do IVF but we have two little babies on the way! Don't give up hope!

I have PCOS. Three cycles of Clomid for me were a bust, but Met, injects (FSH), trigger and IUI did the trick for us.

Don't give up!!!

I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 18. I had prepared myself mentally for a much longer journey than we endured. I had a regressive response to clomid the first time I took it (had 2 8mm follies, then nothing 2 days later). The second round worked for us. I was in total shock given the 13 years and many specialists, including my Edno, tell me that IVF was likely our only option.

Like pp said, don't give up!

Thanks, ladies! It's always so nice to hear success stories:)

IF is tough, but don't lose hope. There are lots of grads with PCOS when you combine the ladies of 3T and IF.

I did 5 rounds of Clomid + TI only to get 5 BFN. Changed doctors, started Met, got my BFP on my 2nd IUI cycle with Follistim, trigger, IUI and progesterone. Two healthy baby boys on the way.

I have PCOS. It's hard because the symptoms are so different from person-to-person. Try to keep your chin up and keep hoping! Chances are, it will happen for you.

You are all FABULOUS! Thank you so much. It's been a long road as you all know and I havent even been on this ride for very long! I was feeling a little down yesterday so thank you...It means so much to hear your stories!
