    PCOS and pregnancy

    Hi girls,

    i just want to say to you all not to lose hope to fall pregnant.

    I have always suffered from severe PCOS, I have my AF once or twice a year. it has been since October last year that I have had AF.

    Last week my ob prescribed me clomid in the hope for my cycles to return along with a drug to force my AF to come. Luckely for me I had not started it yet.

    I was at the chemist 2 days ago and saw all these pregnancy test and could not resist buying one although I knew it was like 99% I wasnt pregnant. I came home and did the test waiting for the tears of disappointment to come and cursing myself for buying a test... I just put it into the closet (dont ask me why) and 5 min later I decided to go and have alook. I was in shock when I saw a BFP!!!!

    I saw my doc today and he did a bloodtest and tonight i have a Ultrasound scheduled to find out how far along I am as like I said it has been 9 months since my last cycle.

    So ladies my conclusion is not to lose hope!!!!!!

    I pray and hope it sticks!!!

    Hello and congratulations!
    was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with pcos after trying to conceive for 7 months. It wasnt the trying for 7 months that had me worried as much as the irregular periods and acne etc so had a suspicion that i had pcos. I have my first appointment with the Gyno tomorrow. Am excited but trying not to get too carried away! does anyone know whether i will be given medication straight away? i really hope so!

    My PCOS story maybe good maybe bad???

    Im 33. I was loosely diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago and finally had it confirmed 6 months ago. So all those years that I had unprotected sex (with long term partners) I wondered why I never fell pregnant...

    I have been with my current partner for 9 months and he IS the one.

    5 days ago I had a sneaky suspicion that i was pregnant but didn't get my hopes up, but did a test any way. POSITIVE! Very excited, especially since I was told that the most likely way for me to fall pregnant was to go on Chlomid to start and then take necessary steps after that, so falling pregnant naturally was a huge surprise/relief.

    However, I am 5w3d and am bleeding, not very heavy but still, there is blood and extremely slight cramping. My HCG levels were high and "healthy" as the doctor put it but my ultra sound wasn't very positive, they couldn't find a "yolk sac" or a heart beat, but I was told that this is pretty common with pregnancies under 6 weeks.

    I'm not out of the woods yet, I fear I am miscarrying as I write this but I still am waiting for more Blood results to measure my HCG levels, tomorrow. If they have risen, then I can try to stay positive in thinking this pregnacy will go ahead, if they haven't moved or are lower then I guess my fear will be confirmed.

    Either way, this is to all you PCOS girls, it is possible to fall pregnant naturally and regardless of whether I mis carry or not it isn't PCOS related.

    Hi ladies

    I only joined today and was interested that PCOS was the first forum I read.

    I was diagnosed with PCOS in April 2008. I had been trying to have a baby for 1 and a half years and went back to my gyno. I underwent a laproscopy and was diagnosed with PCOS.
    Following my diagnosis I didn't get my period for 10 weeks so I changed my diet to a low GI diet. I then got my period within a couple of weeks.

    However I was still unable to get pregnant. I finally commenced taking Pregnil and was to undergo IUI. I got 6 follicles on my first cycle but was not allowed to go ahead with IUI as there was a risk I could fall pregnant and have multiple pregnancies.
    After my first lot of injections I fortunately got my period again the next month and fell pregnant straight away.

    I hope it all works out for you and my fingers are crossed.
