[tara_w]

Hi, ive just turned 25, ive been on metformin for a month now. i was diagnosed with pcos when i was 14, but my doctors didnt really do anything for me. i changed doctors in january and have started seeing a gynecologist. ive been put on metformin and am wondering what will happen next. i have had blood tests and my partner has had a sperm test and we will get the results from both next month at our next gyne appointment. im in the uk and im wondering if anybody has been through this and could tell me what they did. my partner and i are getting married in september and have been together for 8 years, and trying to concieve with no joy and no help from the doctord for 3 years. any help is very much appreciated. thanks :)

yh they wont do anything till you've been ttc for a year, stupid really since they know the reason why your not conceiving!! i heard that can regulate your cycles, i tried it just before i was diagnosed with pcos.  I stopped birth control in sept 09 and was diagnosed in July 2010, since i only had 2 months till i started treatment i didnt bother to take it anymore but if you have a while to wait it's definately worth giving it a go.

Good luck! 8 )

My doctor is exactly the same and won't help me, I have to wait a year before even starting any treatment I heard about agnus castus (herbal medicine) it has alot of mixed reviews but if the doctors won't help I have to try something, on my second week of taking it now so don't know if it is working yet!

Thanks so much for your reply, and i really do hope you get a little bundle of joy soon xxxx

hi, i have pcos to and have been trying to conceive since sept 09.  i'm in the uk too and after 12 months ttc i went to see a my dr who sent me to see a gyne who prescribed clomid.  When you have pcos you generally dont ovulate so the clomid makes you ovulate and therefore increases your chances of pregnancy.  I did for cycles of clomid and although i did'nt get pregnant it did make me ovulate and regulated my cycles.

Speak to your dr about clomid, it really is a miracle drug 8 )
