For those TTC with PCOS

[rdy2givup]

To valentinesgal.... he's wanting me to lose about 75 to 100 lbs but if i do that, i would look sick. i'm large framed so its almost impossible for me to be "skinny". i just want to get down to a healthy weight so i could support a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Hi Everyone!I'm new here,if you don't mind I'll join you.I have PCOS,have been diagnosed when I was 16.That time they put me on Dianette(bcp),what I took until April 2010.Since I didn't have a cycle on my own.My DR. gave progesterone to induce it.After I had HSG and 21 day blood test.My HSG was fine tubes are clear,but my Progesterone is to low.This is why My DR. started me on Clomid,I'm waiting for AF to come,then will take 50 mg on day 2-6.
If anybody have any advise for me,or have similar problem,please write..

Good Luck to All,and Baby Dust to everybody.

hi all.im 26 and on metformin for irregular cycles for the pat 3 yrs.ttc since january but to no avail.im really looking forward to seeing a specialist now.wat bugs me is dat im not overweight,aint PCOS ladies supposed to be overweight? scared wat my chances of getting pregnant wid assistance are????? wish me luck pleeez!

tiredabby, I have PCOS and I've had IMT from 19 to 34 in my life, so you can perfectly well be skinny and have PCOS. I'm currently loosing weight in hope that I start ovulating.

I have a question re weight and pcos (will ask my dr next week but thought id see what you ladies think too). So I am of normal weight (am 5 feet 7 and weigh 10 stone) and wondered - if your weight is fine, then would losing weight help your pcos? My only symptom is my irregular periods, but it would be good to know if losing weight would help those.

 

[Soili]

Impatient TTC, if you have PCOS and are insulin-resistant, but with healthy weight, I don't think loosing it would make any difference. I read somewhere that someone with BMI 25 lost weight and PCOS symptoms gotten worse. It might be helpful to try low-GI diet though, it could be helpful.

 

[Impatient TTC]

Yeah I'm not sure re my insulin resistance. My bloods were normal and so she thought I was OK but then the ultrasound showed cysts. Am discussing it with doc on Tues so will know then I suppose. Thanks for replying!

Hi.I have a similar problem as your.My weight is normal,I'm 9st,and 5.6 inches. DR. said my blood work is good,no sign of insulin resistance,but I have low progesterone.He suggested me to try take Clomid,see what happen.Oh and I have cysts on both ovaries.I just hope that Clomid work.Did you have HSG done yet?(fallopian tube check)

Hi tiredabby!I wish you lots of luck,and hope we all gonna get our BFP soon.I just started my first cycle of Clomid today,my Dr.think it may help me to ovulate.I just have to wait now,see what happen.Do you ovulate while you take Metaformin?

 

[tiredabby]

ummm i duno,cz havint tried OPKs or charting bbt but i do have regular cramps and pms a week before AF arrives.ive read its a good sigtn cz cramps and pms occur exclusively in ovulatory cycles.any suggestions if dats true????

 

[Andeia]

Yeah,I heard that too,but it could be just your body getting ready for ovulation then it's not actually happen.I had before very long cycles(longer then 3 month) ,and many cramps,or pms feelings,with no ovulation.You only could be sure if you charting your BBT ,because your temperatures rise up after ovulation.Did you think about charting?

 

[tiredabby]

i did,every cycle i staret it and then stop it afta a few days,its too hard 4 me to put a thermometer in my mouth first thing in da morning and i often forget it too.lol.but now dat u have told me about da unreliability of the pms symptoms im gona start charting da next cycle.

 

[tiredabby]

are ur cycle regular and short now?wat caused em to come to normal?

 

[Andeia]

No my cycle is not regular,but I tempting for over a year now.I had 2 ovulation since then.1 in may.2010 and other last month.I induce my cycle with progesterone,if they longer then 100 days.I ask my doc for Metaformin,but he told me it would not help me much.Metaformin for people who has insulin resistance,I don't have I guess.Do you have insulin resistance?

my dad has diabetes and my cycles were longish like 35-40 days wid 60- 90 days cycles at times,metformin has had a good effect on my cycles but im amazed dat afta i got married my cycles have become regular 33-36.also ive noticed dat da month im at my parents' house and not near my hubby my cycles are longer.seems sex has a positive effect on my hormones.(sorry tmi)

So you may just have to have more on the right time( around ovulation) and you'll get pregnant soon.How long have you been ttc?

 

[tiredabby]

about 4 months,but u r rite i shud have more of it on the right time cz i havnt been having it regularly ie after 2-3 days.maybe i only have bad timmings.
