Pcos - Salt Lake City,UT

After unsucessfully trying to concieve for about 2 years, I finally went to the Dr. and was diagnosed with PCOS - and I guess timing was in our favor at that same time becuase just after the diagnosis, I found out I was pregnant with our ds (now 9 months old). We have already decided that when we are ready for a second one, we will use Chlomid and Metformin to hopefully "speed" things along becuase I don't know that I can go through another 2 years of trying like we did last time.
My SIL was diagonsed with it about 2 years ago and she has been taking Metformin since then. It only took 5 weeks of them trying and bam- she's now pregnant, due in July.

I have PCOS as well, I was diagnosed with it shortly before I got married at 20. My doctor told me it would be best to try for kids while I was young because I was already sub-fertiel and that would get worse as I aged. I was a 20 year old on fertiklity drugs, kind of odd I know! I have 3 children now (I'm 30 now) who are 8, 5, and 1 year old. My 8 year old and my 1 year old were concieved on Clomid and Metformin (though I am not insulin resistant the Metformin supposedly helps anyway). My 5 year old was our miracle conception when we were not even trying! I have looked into adopting when we thought baby numer 3 was not going to happen for us, but it is seriously expencive, even domestic adoption cost a lot. The fertility drugs I was on were not expencive because I had health insurance that covered them so I just had to pay a $10 co-pay. My doctor and I discussed going to the next level with injectable drugs (mine were all oral) but I was hesitant and luckily I never needed them, although baby number 3 came after over 2 years of trying, off and on drugs.

Bottom line, PCOS suck, but you still can have children and that is a great blessing! I am happy with my 3 beautiful little ones and I think we are done! But I think it is important for a couple to be able to DECIDE that they are done having kids, and not have that decision forced upon them by a disorder like PCOS, so try for another baby if that is what you really want, go for it! Best of luck to you!

I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I had 2 miscarriages and then switched docs, he put me on Metformin and I now have a 4 year old daughter. I just got on the Metformin again and we plan on trying to get pregnant again soon. I have also been married 9 years, no birth control and have only 1 child. She has been worth everything I have had to go through :)

I too have PCOS. I wasn't diagnosed with it until trying to get pregnant with my now 3 1/2yr son. I tried clomid & metformin, neither worked. I was getting ready to do a drug study with the fertility doc and got pregnant on my own while waitng for the med. I did get pregnant easier the next time, but had 2 early miscarraiges with those - turns out I also have a clotting disorder. I am now 37wks pregnant with boy #2, but will be having a tubal after this one - I want to try to avoid hormonal BC and can actually only take certain hormones due to the clotting disorder. So that's my story :)
