    This is interesting. The last Gyn I went to told me to "hurry up and get on with it" to have a baby as it takes longer with PCOS, when I wasn't in the right position at the time to have a baby...it can be quiet harsh to feel under pressure with age which can then lead to further fertility problems due to stress...at last some good news that if it doesn't happen tomorrow then it's not too late. Thank you for sharing

    Wow! This is amazing. At 31 I tried 3 months of clomid with trigger shots and I didn't get pregnant. Now, at almost 36 I got pregnant without any drugs at all and without even trying. We had given up. So it was a total surprise. Although, it ended in miscarriage (right now as I type this I am going thru it).

    When I went thru the fertility treatments the sonograms showed VERY PCOS type ovaries. I had tons of follicles. A few weeks ago I had a sonogram (cuz I was pregnant) and the tech said "your ovaries don't look like you have PCOS at all, they look normal". I didn't know what to say. So maybe it's my age working for me!!

    Very exciting. That's good news. Now I'm a bit sad though because I want a baby NOW...not later. I suppose everything happens for a reason, huh?

    You STILL can get pregnant early. I am not sure how old you are, but I got pg with #1 at age 25. Even though it took me 14 months total, I was only on Met a few months when I got pg. Lots of women on here got pg really young without ttc, and then found #2 a lot harder!

    Yes, I'm 25 right now and we're sure trying! I have just always imagined having my children at a young age...surely no later than 25 for my first! Let's hope everything works out.

    Hmmmm... I wonder why I have high FSH (12.9) and I'm only 30 and have PCOS.

    I am really happy to hear this news. I am about to turn 30 and was becoming worried that I may not have much time left to conceive. I am really happy to know there maybe a lot more time and I don't have to rush it.

    That is great news! I've been feeling a little despair, especially after a spouse function I attended a month or so ago, when one lady had the audacity to tell me we might should get on with havin kids, because I'm gettin older and my eggs might dry up. I'm 33. I was floored. I almost cried. Not because I care what she says, but because thinking of never having a baby scares me. It's nice to know there is more research going on and more good news. Isn't modern medicine amazing?
