It's so hard to hear the PCOS diagnosis, sometimes. It's scary, and painful, and you just want to ask "Why? Now what." There are some great resources available to help women with PCOS. Soulcysters.com is a good starting point. Fertilityfriend.com has some PCOS support as well. But really, the question is "now what?" Learn everything you can about PCOS, and how to manage it. The more you know, the better you're able to play an active role in managing the disease, and making informed choices about what to do, and what works for you. Treating PCOS is a complicated and ongoing process. Sometimes, it's a good idea to use medications that help manage insulin (whether or not we're insulin resistant) which can help restore ovulation, and that's an important step in becoming pregnant. Metformin also may help reduce first trimester miscarriage in women with PCOS, and improve breastfeeding outcomes. Sometimes, depending on the state of your ovaries, and whether or not you've got cysts, it's a good idea to spend a few months on birth control pills to help shrink the cysts. These are decisions you need to make with your doctor. If you haven't had your thyroid checked, you should ask about that. And make sure your doctor is using recent thryoid guidelines (ones where a tsh of 3 is the upper limit)-thryoid issues can also be an issue for miscarriage, and many women with PCOS also have thyroid issues. With PCOS, we also have to be extra aware of things like blood pressure and cholesterol. Your doctor might want to monitor those, and may prescribe medications to control them. Do your best to live a healthy lifestyle. That means eating right, and exercising. While some people suggest low carb diets for women with PCOS, they aren't the best choice for everyone. Investigate the different options (I prefer low g/i to low carb-I feel much better eating that way than I did when I was eating low carb-they're similar, but not identical.) You may want to meet with a nutritionist to help work out a health eating plan for yourself-one that suits your preferences, health and lifestyle. Discuss your treatment options with your health care provider. You may want to talk to a reproductive endocrinolgist about how to best treat your situation, and achieve a healthy pregnancy. This may involvethings like metformin, clomid, or other fertility drugs, along with ultrasounds or ovulation predictor kits, or charting your cycle. Take good care of yourself, and it can help you a great deal towards getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and maintaining your best health. Good luck. I wish you the best. Source(s): soulcysters.com, pcosupport.org, fertilityfriend.com maybe there is treatment or you could do it through surrogacy that is always your safest bet if you want children that bad b/c it is still your child genetically but carried by someone else and with new technology you can be there every step of the way and see all the developments Miscarriage is very common with those who have PCOS. Tlak with your doctor and he will put you on some stuff to help you get pregnant. Never give up trying to have children. I have PCOS as well as my cousin. She was told that she would never be able to have children (never believe a doctor if he tells you that) and she is now expecting a little boy in august. i have PCOS too, i am on Metformin, it is safe to take during pregnancy. try to keep healthy by taking vitamins and exercising regularily. this is from wikipedia.com: Some data suggest that women with PCOS have a higher risk of miscarriage. Also, many women with PCOS have a difficult time conceiving because of their irregular cycles and lack of ovulation. However, it is possible for these women to have normal pregnancies with the aid of medication - particularly Metformin - and diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/polycystic_... go see a specialist on infertility. I also have pco, and last year had my first baby. He is a happy health boy. You can probably get pregnant without extra help, but you're more likely to get pregnant if you either take something like clomid (which is what I did) or maybe even IVF. |
