My husband and i have recently been trying for a baby. however, i am getting impatient.. and discouraged. i scheduled an app. with my OBYN, and i had a preg test done, and it had a solid line, and also a faint line beside it. the doctor told me that he wants me to wait a week, and schedule a preg test, where they draw my blood for HCG.

i dunno, i guess i am thinking that to get preggo this is gunna take a couple years.

i found out that i had PCOS, after i was bleeding for three months straight, and i was so weak and sick, that i had to do something because it was effecting my job that i had just started. i went and had a ultrasound done, and coming to find out.. SURE ENOUGH... i had just clusters everywhere all over my ovaries. I had been on birth control since february, and just last month i got off of it, and tried to get preggo. I guess i was just wondering what other people have run into as far as getting preggo, and having to deal with PCOS.

it seems like my husband just doesnt get why i am so discouraged. he doesnt get why i am so down about it. and he really doesnt understand the pain and the discomfort.

HELP! ANYONE! ANY ADVICE? HELP!

Well, if your OB wants to do another test in a week, the jury's still out at the moment. If the test is positive then you're on your way. If it's not, take a deep breath and then work on the next step. That'll be may mean waiting a while and seeing what happens, or making an appointment with your OB to discuss your options.

Getting pregnant with PCOS can be difficult, and it can take some time, but it can.

We tried for a year and a half before getting diagnosed and then I was able to get pregnant with Metformin. My biggest difficulty was that I'd gotten so depressed taking pregnancy tests before and the doctor told me it'd be a while before I could get pregnant, so I didn't take any tests for a while after going on the Met. Much to my surprise, I got pregnant fairly early on the Met and thought that my upset stomach and exhaustion were because of the drugs and the PCOS and it took a couple months before it occured to me to take a pregnancy test.

Can't promise it'll happen like that for anyone else, but end all suggestion is to at least talk to you doctor about what your options are and what to expect.

Best of luck!

When I got pregnant with my son, the dr had a problem getting a result with both the urine and blood tests. I had to have a US to confirm. At the time, I wasn't ttc.
