I had PCOS and wanted to get pregnant.  I found out about the PCOS after I had one of my ovaries removed.  So, I went to a fertility doctor.  That did not really help.  What did help was going to an endochrinologist.  He put me on Metformin.  I have two children that he calls Metformin babies.  Once I became pregnant I had to go off of the Metformin while I was pregnant.  I was considered a high risk and I needed to be on a diabetic diet while pregnant.  After the babies were born I went back on the metformin.  My children are now 8 and 9.  As far as I know, this medication is the best help for PCOS.  The fertility doctor wanted me to go on birth control every other month.  To me, that is just not a good solution.  

If you do not currently see an endochrinologist you may want to consult one.  Most times PCOS goes hand in hand with insulin resistance.  I have had some doctors say if you have PCOS you have insulin resistance and some say if you have insulin resistance you MAY have PCOS.  So I would definately get your insulin levels checked.  If your levels are elevated read about Syndrome X.  It is the combination of PCOS and Insulin Resistance.

Also, if they find that you have insulin resistance along with PCOS a high protein diet really helps!  My endochrinologist recommended one when I was pregnant too.  

Good luck!!  :)

I do not think there is a permanent remedy other than removal of ovaries, which is not a solution for anyone that wants children, or a good solution for anyone too young to be thrown into surgical menopause (unless it is to save a person's live from ovarian cancer).  There are medications that keep it under control to some degree, but I do know if they can be taken while trying to conceive.   A good gynecologist should be consulted.  Ironically, pregnancy itself is very kind to ovaries by giving them a much needed rest, not to mention the hormonal changes that come with pregnancy.  We have a PCOS forum on MedHelp where you might find more ladies with knowledge on this subject.  There are a few others here on the Cyst forum with a PCOS background that may be able to provide help as well.
