Hi Tashie, I have PCO and I'll give you the background story for me. Obviously this is my story & yours may be different.

- TTC our first back in 2005, had 2 m/c in one year & was referred to my OB/GYN for tests etc.... happened to fall pg again prior to my appt & was fortunate enough to stay pg (during this time did see a Naturopath)
- TTC our second when DD was 1 yo, so in 2008. 2 more m/c then referred back to OB/GYN who did an u/s and bloods to see if I was ovulating. u/s showed PCO but no insulin resistance. Was put on Clomid for 6 rounds & had no luck falling pg even though bloods confirmed I was oing. Had a laparoscopy, fell pg 2 mths later only to m/c again.
- Referred to F/S. DH sent for sperm analysis (all ok) I had more bloods and u/s which again confirmed PCO still present. FS won't prescribe metformin but I am advised to lose weight.
- Before starting IUI go to Chinese Medicine and have accupuncture and chinese herbs (no preg)
- Lost a little weight & start IUI on FS advice. No luck falling pg & decide to take a break.
- Lose 15 kgs and start IVF. First round unsuccessful, second round fell pg.

I also started taking CQ10 during IVF, not sure if that helped....

FS told me having PCO increases your risk of m/c & makes it harder to conceive b/c your eggs have a harder outer layer, which makes it harder for the sperm to penetrate..... HTH
