eventually I'll read more than just the first page and the last 4 pages of this thread. >.>
I have insulin resistant pcos. fun. it took years for it to be diagnosed, and then it was only diagnosed because my dr's office switched me to their new (at the time) nurse practitioner. aside from being horribly depressed and absolutely terrified of getting pregnant again after my daughter was born (just over 9 years ago now -_-) and using condoms briefly and then having to go on the pill for a few months a few years ago because my periods were too heavy, lasting to long, and coming too soon (I was sooooo anemic), we haven't used birth control. I never wanted this many years between kids.
my sisters-in-law know about my condition, and one of them even has pcos also. the one that doesn't is pretty fertile and is now pregnant with #5 - I think she's about 3 months along. she had the nerve once to complain about having not been pregnant for over a year. stare the one with pcos has been trying very hard since she got married to get pregnant (I think that was almost 3 years now?) and she finally just got pregnant. as in, she and her husband found out friday morning, they told the family friday afternoon, and she went to her dr to confirm yesterday afternoon. I'm very happy for them both, especially the one with pcos, but I'm so jealous too. I know I shouldn't be too, so that makes me feel bad. and that's a vicious cycle that makes my depression creep back despite being on medication.
so this month I'm determined. my period started a week ago (rofl, and ended a couple days ago - just so people didn't think I was having it still) and I got an ovulation test kit thing. I was supposed to have an appointment with my dr (not the nurse practitioner) back in jan but had to cancel because of my great grandfather's funeral (my mom would not have understood no matter how much she wants another grandchild) and they were supposed to call back to make an appointment, but haven't yet. so I'm going to do that this week if I have time (I *should* be cleaning and getting ready for the big party we're having this weekend >.>).
speaking of the party, I really should at least start cleaning. and then maybe I should figure out what kind of food I'm going to make for it. ninja

... I gotta say this first, 'cause it's just important.
Please, don't be all "GONNA!" because it only hurts even more when you can't. It's been four years for me, and I haven't even gotten to my first baby yet. Because I've had it for so long (they figure I was about 9 when the insulin resistance came and about 12 when I got my first cyst), first stage infertility is all over me. But patience and time are beating the beast back, and between metformin and determination, it's slowly going away. Give it time, and don't ever be afraid to just say "... oh, well, not this time." because otherwise it's only going to hurt so much worse.
I promise I'm not lecturing, I just hate to see someone get hurt like I did, over and over.
Secondly, HI! Welcome to the thread. It seems a lot of our ttc mommies are PCOS, so ^_^ welcome to the club. WE totally understand.

Oh, I know. I was like that for a little bit when I was on the metformin and clomid, not to mention all those years before when I was in denial that something could be wrong. it does hurt, especially when it seems to be going so well.
I just meant (but it didn't come across very well, I think) that I was just going to be a little more active about it by doing things I really should have been doing before. like go back to my dr, get back on the metformin and clomid, try and find out if I might ovulate, (have a little more fun with the husband twisted ), etc.

I have PCOS also and my first son was born after one cycle of Clomid. Now I am in MO and every dr I have been too keeps telling me well lets wait 3 more months for the insulin meds to work. I am tired of waiting cause I know the Clomid will work. Any idea how to force a doctor to write me the script. I have been waiting 3 more months for 9 months now.

Is there a reason why your doctor is hesitant on giving you Clomid? (side effects or anything?) o.o

He says because the risk of mutiples goes up. BUt I don't care if I have mutiples. I want a baby. Why does he care if I have mutiples. I have a great job I have great insurance and I have at least 3 months paid maternity leave. I am going to a new doctor on Monday.

My hubby and I have been trying to conceive again for over a year now. It's getting very frustrating. I'm going to be calling my docter and find out what's going on. My first kid made it past my hubby's condom and my birth control. Don't know why we aren't having any luck when we are trying on purpose this time.

Maura-chan? What if he's worried that having multiples might over-stress your body? After all, our bodies are already under a lot of stress anyway. >< And if you're naturally fertile but only the PCOS is keeping you from getting preg, then maybe he's afraid multiples will not be in the 2 or 3 range, but the 6-7 range....

Mine was very unxpected.
I actually began to think I couldn't get pregnant, cause I lived with my bf/ex and we fooled around all the time. And for 5-6 months nothing happened.
It really only happened when I changed my diet.
I started to do yoga, belly dancing and not eating fast food or take out.
So if you're trying, eating a excersizing lightly is a good way.
Cause if you're healthy you'll probably be more fertile.
And I know it was me that cause it cause my ex is one unhealthy man who drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimmney lmao
