Women with PCOS: any advice on what to do if you are trying to get pregnant?

Ah….My husband and I tried for THREE YEARS to get pregnant the first time. It was heart breaking, and I feel your pain. What did it for me, I think, was that we finally went in to discuss invitro (sp?) and other things…and as we were talking the female gynecologist suddenly got up from behind her desk, came to me, knelt down and took my hand saying, “Are you alright? It’ll be alright!” I guess I must have looked so….devastated that it showed and I didn’t realize it. She was SOOOO comforting and compassionate and reassuring that I relaxed about it for the first time…...and I swear I conceived that very night!!! Well, the rest of the story….when Corrie was 15 months old we decided we better get a head start on the next one…..only…..it only took about 5 minutes the second time! :) Boy, i was taken totally aback! Just today Corrie was teasing her bro (she’s 23, he’s 21) AGAIN that he was an accident (running joke!) and he said, “No. I was a pleasant surprise!” LOL!! Which is really the truth! So, really…..easier said than done, but…try to relax. I know! Try NOT to get pregnant! (BTW—I don’t know what PCOS is….).

dutchess12 thanks for the reassurance. It has been a really difficult road for my husband and I. And of course, I have about a dozen or so close friends and family members who are either pregnant or just had a baby, so that does not make me feel any less frustrated with the situation. I am doing my best to relax and to take it one step at a time.
Thanks again.
pcos is polycysctic ovarian syndrome. it usually causes infertility

I know…it used to just frustrate me so badly to see girls with babies that they——obviously couldn’t handle or didn’t want, and I’d wonder “Why Lord? Why??” It seemed so wrong. It’ll happen…and 13 years later you’ll wonder WHAT you were so excited about when it did! LOL!! :) Hey…stay in touch….

just writing in to say I understand, i don’t have PCOS but I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and I can’t afford the surgery I need to help it. i’m saving up money but it is really hard for me. i’ve also had two losses one full term and one early term. I understand how difficult infertility can be and how difficult seeing everyone else with children can be. I’m sending hugs and love your way. Feel free to keep in touch with me. It’s always nice to know I’m not alone in this :), you aren’t either.
