Got PCOS and so fed up!!

[buddy1985]

I was told nearly 3 years ago now that ive got PCOS and ive gone through clomid for 6 cycles and it didn't work and then I went on the injection for 3 cycles it seemed to help make more egg but it just didn't work that one got me really down coz somedays the injections would really hurt and id have bruises all over my stomach from them. I was told last year that I had to lose weight to be referred for IVF and im trying so hard but I just cant seem to get past a certain point and I don't know know what to do. im reading a book at the moment called "Conquer your PCOS naturally" just to see if it will help in anyway cause im at such a dead end at the moment. I feel like I don't have a purpose in life all I want is to have a family and theres people out there who have them who don't want them or just have them for benefits and it makes me mad coz I really want a family so much. everyone around me has children and married or getting married and its hard when they say oh when is it your turn and you have nothing to say really. I bet your all wondering what im moaning about really. guess I just needed to let off a bit of steam. sorry x

Maybe not what you are wanting to hear, but it took us three years before our little one arrived. I was told no ways would i fall pregnant without any intervention. After one round of clomid and four months on metformin we gave up because the side effects for me where really really bad. Three months after stopping all treatments and trying to decide how to go forward, i was pregnant, naturally. My PCOS was bad enough for my doctor to be 100% certain i would not conceive naturally at all. I had a period maybe every three months. So hopefully your little miracle is not far off!!!!!! but i know the wanting can leave you in the worst possible place! really hope things get better soon for you!!!!

Hope you don't mind me jumping in. Have you tried Metformin for weight loss? I was on it for about 6mths and it really helped me kickstart weight loss. For years diet/exercise did next to nothing to help me lose weight (probably just maintained) but after the Metformin I lost around 40kg (around 15 of that while on it and the rest in the 6mths or so after I came off it).

The doctors have never offered me metformin at all.

how would I go about getting the doctors to put me on metphomin or would it be a gyno that would have to put me on it?

From memory it was my GP that put me on it after some bloodwork came back showing mild insulin resistance. I was on the slow release one I think 2000mg a day (big dose but it was phased in) and after 6mths my body seemed to learn how to process things better.

It can't hurt to ask about it. Good luck
