I was diagnosed with PCOS a year ago after trying for 3 years to get pregnant. Ive always had issues with my weight, but I never knew it was the PCOS until I was having horrible pains on my right side. I also thought that having undergone two open heart surgeries that maybe that also was causing me not to get pregnant. Went to the doctor explained my situation that I could get pregnant & that it needed to happen sooner than later. Dr put me on Clomid first month didn't work & so did the next set second month & found out this past July that I was pregnant. Me & husband were so excited I couldn't contain myself when I was staring at those positive pregnancy tests I balled like a baby lol. I will be 16 weeks on October 6th. Thus far no problems no complications with baby or me just very extensive monitoring from OB and my heart dr. I feel so blessed to have been giving the chance to have a child of my own. I want to breastfeed but I've heard that with PCOS either you make too little milk make too much or make none at all, I'm so afraid I won't make any or make very little & it not satisfy baby once baby is here. I have to be careful with how much weight I put on, I've been trying to so hard & i think I've been doing pretty good with gaining the amount of weight your to gain each week. It's awesome to hear from others with the same issues as I do & hear everyone's success stories...

I was told i had pcos 2yrs ago i mc my first then my dr put me on metformin and femara which is like clomid 3 mos later i was preg again dr put me on progestroneand i had a healthy baby boy who is now 1 and i am currently 24wks preg and dr put me on progestrone @ the begining of this pregnacy too ! I gained 85 lbs while preg w first and lost it in 6 mos dr never said a word about my weight .. i only had trouble after i had my son i couldnt stop bleeding because my progestrone n estrogen levels were outta wack. So i had to keep switching back in forth between estrogen pills and progestrone pills i think thats how i got preg this time

I have pcos and unfortunately can't get pregnant I have been trying for 3 years how long did it take you to conceive? I'm starting to wonder if I will ever be able to have a child. I haven't gained any weight while being on the meds I've lost 17 since I started my medications

I gained 60 pounds! I don't know that the pcos had much to do with it though. I think it was the icecream I was eating by the pound. (Summer baby!) Sorry I can't help you out on that :)

I was diagnosed a year ago and put on metformin and progesterone. We were trying, so when that didn't work, the doctor put me on Clomid and after doubling my dose the second month, I was able to get pregnant! I am now 28+3 with a healthy baby boy! So happy to hear other pcos success stories.

That's amazing that you are blessed with another baby!  It took me 3 years to get pregnant with my baby and I had an absolutely perfect pregnancy with zero complications. I don't see why things would go wrong in your pregnancy this far along because of PCOS. I will pray for you though!

Dr told me that he thinks that is what I have/had    so he sent me to a fertiity specialist.   This is baby #2 on clomid for me.
