I have PCOS but I haven't been to a gyno in years. My condition actually got a little better when I had my son 5 years ago.

---

It's such a relief when I hear about woman that have babies that have PCOS...in the past the dr has told me it will be really difficult. I know I haven't gotten pregnant so far Not that I was really trying but I have made mistakes..

---

I was just thinking the same thing. I get so upset when i see 'infertility' slapped on everything related to PCOS..makes me so sad. But i do know people who havent gotten preggers wth it..so theres hope for us!

---

Thanks, it definetely is frustrating to say the least. In my process I think i've been on every single BCP there is out there and have had problems. Either the pain is way too severe or I get migraines or other thngs...The doctor put me on Seasonique which confuses me since they say you're supposed to have it every month??

If I don't take anything, i simply don't get my period.

---

have you tried Loestrin?? Its the only one that works for me. I've been on it for a year now. I tried about 5 or 6 different BCP and none of them worked at all

---

It's funny because I was on it for a few years maybe 7-8 years ago and didn't have problems. Then I started taking Glucophage and it was helping me, plus at the time I was single and not doing anything so I stopped the BCP completely. I restarted after I met FH and had problems on it this time around. I was on it and several others for about 6 months at a time.

---

I was tested for diabetes and thankfully it showed i didnt have it, but they wanted me to go on Glucophage anyway. I said no i'll just stick it out (cause i was younger at the time) and after being on nothing and never ever getting my period, and after trying all different BCP, i finally stumbled on Loestrin and its the only one that works lol I remember back in the day when I would tell my mom that I havent had my period in 9 months she would FREAK out! haha little did she know i had a major problem lol

---

I'm the same exact way, I'd go months at a time without my period and I have many of the other symptoms but my blood sugar was NEVER an issue. I don't have diabetes but unfortunately it's in my family, so chances are extremely high that I could have it in the future (I'm paranoid that it will show up in pregnancy). For a while I think my doctor was completely baffled.

I went on glucophage and immediately noticed a difference. It helped me lose weight until stupid me stopped taking it (i'm sooooooooo bad with medicine). I started again as well.

I also have PCOS
my gyno is in queens though
i love her

my endocronologist put me on glucophage / metformin and it has helped regulate my ovulation SOOOOO much

have you seen an endocrinologist? My gyno is in massapequa.. but she reccomended that i see one..

---

I had a really great endo that I went to a few years ago but unfortunately I haven't been back to her since my insurance changed and I moved further east. She's all the way in NHP so its almost imposssible to see her.

Right now i'm focusing on finding a Gyn.
