What to do?

by tinker2008, Feb 07, 2008 06:14PM
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was only 13. I really didn't understand at first what it ment... but as I got older I started to research more into it. I have known since I was 13 that there would be a possability that I couldn't have kids. And I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time now. I have all the symptoms...from man-like hair growth, Ovarian Cysts, menstrul problems, Sleep Disorders, Weight Gain and Obesity. I have delt with all of this since I was 13. It's been almost a year since I have started trying to get pregnant. I just wanted to know what my options were treatment wise. That way I one day can experience motherhood. I have checked into metphormin, but I came across an artical where a woman had her ovaries transplanted. Can that really be done? Is that something I should keep in the back of my head if all other options fail? What should I try first? and most importantly....... Where do I even start?

signed... Lost and Confused.

hi, firstly i would look into seing if your are actually ovulating. some of us with pcos bleed but do not actually ovulate that way u can see what further assistance u may need. Losing weight obviously helps ( i know i'm trying) but sometmies a little bit of weight loss is enough to kick start things. metformin( as its known in the uk) is becoming widely used amongst women with pcos who are ttc as it helps regulate blood sugars along with weight loss and and then helping regulate cycles. once u know where you are reference your cycles u can seek help from there. with thngs such as clomid and the like
hope this helps
