I just wondered.... is it better to TTC sooner than later with PCOS? Does your fertility decrease more with time?

Sorry that I'm so full of questions!!

well, even an "average" woman's chances go down with age so I would say having pcos and waiting would be a double whammy. I am not saying that ttc over 30 with pcos is impossible, but it just makes sense that if you are ready to ttc that you go ahead and start. Don't do it just b/c you feel rushed....but it should be a factor. I know that if you start seeing an RE that will greatly help. I am going to see one this week and I'm only 23. We are ready to have a baby and I hope by starting at this age, we may be able to have a few.

I hope this helps. I am no expert and I don't want to make anyone over 30 mad....it is just a fact that time is not our friend....GOD BEING A WOMEN SUCKS SOMETIMES.

Foer me, my chances decreased as my symptoms increased with age. However, with the treatment of my symptoms I was able to have a baby, but the road was long and hard for me. I was 27 when I had Jamie. I'm hoping to try again in a year or two.

Hi Sarina,

I agree with Ahydock, as we age regardless of our diagnoses our clock is ticking. The most fertile time for a woman with no fertility problems is 20's to 35 after than it slows so no doubt that would apply to us with pco as well.

On the other hand you may chose to look at this way. When younger we are just getting diagnosed with pco/infertility and just starting to look for treatments that fit us as individuals, so for some the older we get the more we discover what works with our bodies the more fertile we become.

Example: Me at 16 and up (and probably before 16 as well) completely anovulatory... Me at 30 ovulatory.

Even if your not TTC its never to late to start finding what protocols work for you

metformin, vitex, progesterone, spironolactone, diet changes and weight loss et-cetera

Best of Luck in whatever you decide to do
