I have PCOS and we're trying to conceive now. Go to your doctor to get tested because there may be other factors at play. I hope everything works out for you and me both!

                               My husband and I have been together for six years and this year we will be married for two years. I was diagnosed with PCOS for this will be three years now. I thought for sure I wasn't going to be able to have kids. We had gotten pregnant twice and lost both really early in the pregnancy. I thought that was it.  But our lil Miracle happened this year on the 25 of Feburary. So yes you can get pregnant don't give up hope. It will happen.

yes it is possible to get pregnant with PCOS.  I was diagnosed in 2002.  We tried for 13 years to get pregnant and saw numerous doctors who told me different things each time; yes, no, maybe with medications.  I even had one doctor that told me it would be a mistake to get pregnant and my child would be born with severe handicaps.  Moron!   

Anyway, my son is 10 weeks old and healthy, i didn't use any fertility medications, because we had given up "trying"  The big thing that worked for me was getting my A1c  under strict control.   My pregnancy was closely monitored with biweekly ob appointments, twice monthly endocrinology appointments, as well as specialized ultrasounds every month and fetal monitoring twice a week starting at 30 weeks.  There are some risks, but defintely worth all of them.  Goodluck to everyone trying.  

I was put ont he same meds and it worked for me too

HI! I have PCOS and my doctor perscribed me Clomid which is an ovulation medicine to cause me to ovulate more regularly. She also perscribed metformin because most women who have PCOS have it due to an inability to absorb insulin properly (which can later lead to diabetese). She put me on a diet and prenatal vitamins also. I have lost 13lbs in 2 months and I am ovulating again. Yea! Unfortunatly, the first round of fertility medicines didn't work, but we are trying our second round. The good thing about Clomid is that it is very affordable. It cost $18 without insurance (because fertility medication is not covered under most insurance plans). Also, metformin help prevent miscarriages so that is a major plus and its free with a perscription at any Marsh Supermarket or $4 at any Wal-Mart because it is a generic diabetese medicine. I do not have diabetese and metformin is perfectly safe to take while trying to convieve and while pregnant.  Please go to your doctor and ask him/her about these medications and track your ovulation for the best results. Good luck! I'm right there with you.

Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Posted by Melissa

yes, you most definitely can. I have had PCOS from the age of 16 and have been obese in the past. However, i have managed to find my balance and the right diet for me (weight watchers mixed with sparkpeople if you are curious... Sparks is great because it's free and VERY precise, ww because it's easy to count on the go... they work wonders for me!) and went in just over a year from weighting 198 lbs for 5' 2.5" to 112 lbs which I have maintained for around 2 years. Met my now husband 6 years ago, got married in may last year... we didn't even TTC really after the wedding, just stopped pulling out... and exactly on my first wedding anniversary I found out I was pregnant... i couldn't believe it, it had been SO easy! now I'm nearly 18 weeks pregnant, very happy, no problems at all even if I'm over 35 and with loads of problems pre-pregnancy (mostly when I was obese, like a principle of diabetes and the likes). I'm very well followed by doctors and hopefully fingers crossed on the 24th of August I'll have my anatomy scan which will tell me that my baby is absolutely healthy (touch wood fingers crossed!!!!!!).  didn't even have morning sickness...

So don't feel discouraged relax and you'll see it will happen. i must say though that losing weight and keeping healthy and fit have been great help for me, so if by any chance you need to lose weight, you better start now. As I said, I highly recommend Sparkpeople, which is free and a great tool and has also a pregnancy section!
