gumus · 07-03-2009, 06:45 PM

hey girls
im really disperate i think ill never have a baby and what i need from you is to mention ur experiance for me plz to give me hope cause im hopeless now
im 23 and i have pcos im not sure if its considered the mild one cause i get regular period everymonth and normal FSH:LH ratio with mild hair growth under my chin and abdomen but i was never able to concieve
i went to the doctor and he prescribed metformin for me 1500mg .. i took it for two month .. i always ovulate even before it but always ovulate late like CD18-CD22 and my doctor told me if im ovulating it doesnt mean im ovulating good eggs for fertilization

I lost 17 lbs my BMI is 30 my doctor told me i need u at least to lose 20lbs so i lost the 17 and im going to lose more
last month i started clomid 100 mg had ultrasound CD17 with 18mm follicle took FSH injection and on CD19 took HCG shot and ovulated the same day and then started taking the progesterone
im 12 dpo today with temp dip and BFN so i think this month is over
i stopped the progesterone .. when should i expect my period to come ? will it be late?
im so disperate from getting pregnant i think i will never get pregnant and my DH is very sad and im sad i wont make him a dady ever

The fact that you are so young, determined and you know you ovulate means you have a lot on your side. Are you seeing a reproductive endocrinologist or a regular ob/gyn? Reproductive endocrinologists know exactly how to deal with PCOS. Also has your husband had a semen analysis? You should know if there are any issues on his end too.
Hang in there, and just believe

I have the same fears you do except right now I have no insurace so I don't know if I'm ovulating or not.

The free clinic I went to just told me I had PCOS and advised that I walk to reverse the symptoms.

I'm 21 years old. It sounds like you've answered your own questions. If you're on Met, you ovulate, and you're actively trying to lose weight I don't think you'll have trouble conceiving.

thx girls
sammykins my DH SA was good so there is no problem from his side but its taking very long for it to happen im starting to lose faith in me its like that my body is refusing to get pregnant and i cant control my depression really

Tina oh honey im sorry i have insurance that wont pay for infertility and its really draining me to pay for ultrasounds everymonth i wish there is another way i wish losing more weight will do the trick cause i cant see that is doing anything!

Gumus- It is so hard not to get discouraged, but you have a lot of positives on your side. It will happen for you! Look at all the women on this board who have been successful! We are so fortunate to have this website as an outlet for support and information. You are not alone. I can't say be patient because you can't. I know. Although its normal to feel discouraged, you mentioned your depression. If you feel it is not under control you should talk to your doctor about it. The last thing you want is to become pregnant, with all those crazy hormones and have issues with depression on top of that. I know right now it seems like getting pregnant will make everything ok, but if you are having other issues it will not make things better.
Are you seeing a reproductive endocrinologist or a obgyn? Endocrinologists know so much more about PCOS. If you have not seen one, I would suggest you at least have a consult.

I am sorry that you are feeling a little blue. I get that way after every month (13 months) of trying to conceive without result. I just stopped my progesterone 8 days ago, AF showed up 6 days ago and I start another round of clomid. Once my new cycle start I feel a bit more hope. Keep your head up and hopefully next month will bring you a little bundle of joy. It will happen for you!

hi
sammykins well im living in dubai and im visiting infertility specialist we dont have RE here and im so sad about that im stuck with this doctor if u see me u wont say im fat at all although my bmi is 30 but i look average and all what he can tell me that my body fat is affecting me big time but i dont think this is it
im really depressed cause all my friends had their first babies already and im still trying while they're having their 2nd baby soon .. and im always asked by ppl why im not pregnant yet .. its so devastating

shannyh well the next cycle will be my 11th active cycle and the 2nd with medications im not sure my doctor will want to put me on clomid again im so down i cant take the hot flashes for bfn ! i feel its so unfair!

or (if you are religious) you can say whenever god decides for us to... i never realized how rude that question was untill i was having issues ttc. just remember that they mean no harm....

Don't give up hun, Give Clomid another go if this cycle is a bust.... my Friend had the same issues as you along with endo and twisted tube and she is 6 months preggo right now from her 3rd round of Clomid......It's easy to say, a hard to do, but relax and have fun while trying...... That is how DH and I got preggo, unfortunately our ended too soon, but we were so scheduled the first round and it was sooooooo much pressure, the second round was fun, and we would laugh.... Helped so much.... best of luck!!!!!

Gumus - I know how you feel. My cycle is the same, usually 33 days long and I would O on cd 18-21 - BOO on that! haha. I've been taking Metformin, 1500 a day, for 3 full months now and I feel like this cycle is the first cycle that I O'd (hopefully) around on cd 14. So it taught me the lesson that something this important, this life changing (preparing my body to have a baby) is going to take time and I HAVE to find a way to be patient with it. Which is SO hard for me b/c I turn 28 in Sept and expected to have 2 of my 3 kids down by now! haha.

Anyway - you're not alone. Find something to throw yourself into that makes you feel good about yourself and stay hopeful. The time is going to pass anyway, so you might as well spend it feeling good about YOU!
