I also have pcso and I have five kids... Your dr is right about one thing.. It was so much easier for me to get preg when I was younger..any way my dr put me on metformin helps with the pcso... I have a period each month thanks to the metformin... I take 2000mg of metformin.. Im also taking clomid... U need to talk with your dr about metformin.. Go on the internet google metformin for pcso...

Sorry to hear that you have been going through this.. lots and lots of people that have PCOS get pregnant.. its a matter of identifying it and treating it.. for some people  the medication metformin does the trick and will regulate cycles and ovulations.. others excercise, diet modification.. and some people need to go onto fertiltiy medications such as clomid/femara to induce ovulation.. but when there is a problem that is identified its easier to know how to fix it! so just identifying the problem is hlaf the battle!    Lots of ladies on here have great success stories! i have mild pcos, however endo and one ovary adn male factor i think are more our problems.. we did get preg with help! GOOD LUCK! :)
