Will it ever happen?

Nici · #1 November 14th, 2011, 07:20 AM

Hi there I'm very new to this, but I wanted to join something where I could chat to other woman who may be or have been in the same boat as me. I found out when I was 15 years old that I have Polycystic ovaries, so in January 2006 my partner and I decided that I would come off the pill. Still now after almost 6 years I still have not fallen pregnant and I'm starting to worry now that it may never happen, I'm 25 years old so it's not like I'm running out of time or anything but I'm just worried that it's never going to happen. My doctor has put me onto 1000mg of Metformin a day which is making me bleed a bit more than what I have been but does anyone have any suggestions as to other things I could do to try and help me conceive?

I'm sorry it's taking so long! My DH and I were TTC our #2 for 16 months and it was torture! We JUST found out Friday 11/11/11 that we are pregnant! So don't forget it CAN happen. Try this board. I loved talking to these ladies and they're super knowledgeable.

I have pcos also and have been ttc for almost three years. Have you had any testing done? I only ask because I had an hsg last week and learned I have a blocked left tube. I never knew this and this could be causing my infertility.

I wish you luck

Hopefully that bfp is right around the corner.

Congratulations to you captbabs!

Niki- don't ever stop hoping or trying! My DH and I have been trying for 15 months. I get my hopes up every month and when AF shows I get pretty depressed and angry until it's time to start trying again. I know it is a horribly unhealthy emotional experience for anyone to have to live with! I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you!!

I can tell you that I honestly lost hope and didn't think it would happen. The last month I DID have hope, but I didn't know why. When AF comes it's always pretty depressing. I hope you don't have to wait much longer.

I do know of a co-worker who has PCOS. No meds, married for 6 or 7 years, told she could not have children and she became spontaneously pregnant. DS is close to 2 years old.

It is possible. Don't give up trying. Sometimes hope is hard to come by.

Good luck!

I had good luck on Metformin! After 5 years of ttc I ended up pregnant with my first!

have you tried Charting? that would really help clue you in to what your body is doing...
