TTC with PCOS

How long did it take you to get a BFP with PCOS?

DH and I have a 5 year old son together and have been trying since he turned 3 for baby#2. I was diagnosed with PCOS in July 2012 and have Ben taking 1,000mg of metformin since.

Thank you and sending you lots of baby dust. PCOS can be very frustrating :( Have you been OPKing at home?  Has your doctor put you on Clomid?  Like Amy said I know Clomid does give some people cyst, I was fortunate not to get cyst, but it gave it made me extremely hormonal.  I didnt like it at all. Menopur was better, but it comes in form of a shot you must take daily. Anyways, I think the best thing you can do is lose weight and take meds and also do accupuncture. Thats what worked for me I think.

Thank you for your replies!

Yrmacias-Congrats on your BFP I can't WAIT to get mine(:

Amy- I know it is so frustrating...we just have to hang in there unfortunately ):

Idk if any of you saw my other post but I'm going nuts here! Since I started taking metformin I have been having regular 33 day cycles and as of now I am on cycle day 38/39 and no sign of period and keep getting BFN ....I'm just so frustrated...I just want to know one way or the other what's going on!

I have PCOS and diabetes, and have been trying for 5 years. I've been on Metformin prior to even ttc. I've also tried Clomid and then had to stop the Clomid because it caused cyst. Unfortunately every person is different so there is no set answer to give you. Best of luck!!!

Was this your first child?

Did you take metformin for 2 years before finding out you were pregnant? Did you combine w clomid?
