Hey guys I'm new on here. Was diagnosed with PCOS back in feb of 2012. DH and I stopped using any sort of protection last July 2012. In Feb of 2013 we decided to try for a baby! Yay! I was put on 1500mg of metformin and I've also lost a bit of weight since then, but I know I need to lose more. Anyways, I just get so bummed out when we come up negative. I know it can take a while. However how do you ladies keep a positive attitude??

    I'm sorry you haven't had success and were diagnosed with PCOS.  Do know that you can get pregnant with PCOS without medical intervention.  As Naria said, at this point, you should chart to give yourself the best chance naturally.  Also, since you just recently started trying, you should check out the TTGP board, as this board is for women who have been trying over a year and have an infertility diagnosis.  I know it can be hard, especially when you have PCOS, but you need to try for a year unless you are so irregular that you can't even chart.  GL.

    all of this! I am sorry about the PCOS diagnosis but I hope you will have no trouble conceiving! the ladies over on TTGP board are very knowledgeable and will be able to help you through this time. Like pp said, this board is for those trying for 12 months or more or with an infertility diagnosis. I really really hope you don't have to come back to this board! GL to you!!

    Like the PPs already said, PCOS isn't necessarily a IF sentence. It doesn't mean you will have trouble conceiving. There are many women with it who have no problem. Check out TTGP and the newbie blog over there.

    Good luck.

    3 cycles of Femara + TI = BFNs

    June 2013: Femara 2.5 mg, Gonal F Injects 37.5 IU, Menopur, trigger + IUI = BFN

    July 2013: Femara 2.5 mg, Gonal F Injects 75 IU, Menopur, trigger + IUI = BFP!!!!

    All of this. I know a handful of women with PCOS that have had absolutely no trouble getting pregnant. GL to you, and hope that TTGP will be a good support for you!

    Wilson,

    I was diagnosed with PCOS some time ago.  I'd love to hear more about your expereinces with metformin?  My RE suggested I give that a try, haven't had anyone to ask about it yet.
