Thread: polycystic ovary syndrome

Does anyone have this?
I was diagnosed w/ it...
I don't cycle, have a higher level of testosterone, hard to loose weight, acne...etc.
They put me on provera 4x per year for it.
I haven't done much reading on it.
Is it true, The longer I wait to have another baby it will be harder to conceive?

I don't have it, but I know a lot of people who do. I know I've ran into a lot of ladies on pg.org who have it. Some people have no issues w/ conceiving while others have lots of issues.
Hopefully someone here can lead you to some good resources.

I don't know it for an absolute fact, but I've heard that it's true. Something about the cysts causing scar tissue build up on the ovaries.

Are you jumping into the TTC boat?

I have a friend who has or had it. I know she said it also makes some things a little more extreme during her cycle. I know she had a verynhard time concieving her first. It took 10 years, but she was extremely obese. Then with her twins she did IVF but again she was extremely obese. She now has lost half of her body size so I keep telling her that she better be careful because her body is different now.

I would just do research on it and see if you can find anything foods that help with symtoms,, etc..

one of my friends has it and i think another has it. she hasn't been diagnosed, just from what she has been telling me. i don't know about the longer you wait, the hard it is but i know it is hard in general because you don't ovulate

Well I didnt have it, but I sort of feel like maybe I do now. I'm having an extremely hard time losing weight (though that could be the domperidone I'm on), have bad acne (well I always did though) and I just find it weird that I still have no period and not even a hint of a line on the OPK. I was always extremely regular before I got pg though. I guess I wont know for sure until I stop BF and see how AF is.

I have a friend who has PCOS and had a little bit of an issue getting pg with her first, but her second and third were no issue. So I'm not really sure to be honest.

Thanks ladies:0)
I am thinking of TTC next fall/winter...Haven't mentioned it to DH, but he wants to TTC now!:0) I have a lot going on w/ the kids and horses...so next year would be better...and Hailey would be able to at least help more w/ things...I always felt so sick prego. I would love to adopt, but I don't think it is in our budget.
I figure next August I will go to the dr. about the provera and see if I need clomid again.
I do need to research it more. I am good w/ it. Things could be worse, I have wonderful kids already, and hopefully the symptoms don't get worse. They said the stricter I am on a low carb diet the better...
