Any info is appreciated...

I have a son that is almost 18 months and would like to try to get pregnant in about 4 to 6 months from now.  I have endometriosis and PCOS.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what extra preparations I can do to get ready?  Are there any special vitamins (other than penatal), diet, exercise, or anything else that I can do to help my chances???

Did your doctor try Glucophage for your PCOS to aid in getting pregnant?  My friend had a little boy and tried for 2 years to get pregnant.  She had PCOS and finally she found a doctor that said to try Glucophage(a diabetic medication). She was pregnant within 2 months of being on the medication.  Good luck!!

I have often wondered about the glucophage, but the only thing I am afraid of is that my blood sugar has a tendency to drop (sometimes in the 30's) so I was concerned that it might make it drop more often or even lower.

Definatly chart your bbt. it made conceiving #3 a lot faster than baby #2 for me. I also used ovulation predictors bought online at saveontests.com which were way cheaper than buying from the store.

You should start charting your temps.  I chart mine at fertility friend it's a real help and it's free!

I also recommend the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health

I was surprised how little I really know about my cycle until I read this book.  I got my on Amazon.com for about $17.

This site has a "fertility recipe".  I take it but I don't have PCOS.
