PCOS and pregnancy

[rowena74]

hi! i am 36 yrs old and always have an irregular menstruation. i got a regular 28cycle period when i became active attending gym everyday and a healthy diet, for a year i was  always getting my period every 28 days but when i stop attending gym and ate again my period became very irregular again. 2004 i was diagnosed with PCOS, was given provera and advised to have metformin. i got menstruated but still irregular, i did'nt continue having metformin as i felt dizzyness everytime im taking it. Now that im 36 i wanted and decided to get pregnant. i've taken provera today, will have it for 5 days and surely get my period on the 6th or 7th day as i always do when taking them. My question is will i become fertile 2 months after? please help as i am desperately wanting to get pregnant. thanks.

I'm not sure how the dr's figure out the dosage.  I wouldn't know if it was based on weight of the patient or if they just have a standard dosage.    I would ask the dr before just starting it again without being seen first.

I have pcos and had the same thing with my period.  I spent 15,000 to get pg with dd number 2.  When I lost weight and got on low carbs I am very regular now and got pg the first month trying.  Try loosing weight even 10lbs can help your fertility

My friend has PCOS and is taking metformin.  She got pregnant this month after not being able to for years.  She also had the dizziness when taking metformin.   She found out last month that when you take the metformin you have to be on a low carb intake for it to work efficiently.
