    • I’m With You

      From Akhona September 23

      Hi,

      My name is Akhona, I live in Witbank South Africa.

      I've been struggling to fall pregnant since 2006 and have been diagnosed with PCOS. It is trully the worst thing in the world when every month of trying you get another negative result. I just want to let you know that anything to know about PCOS, I've been there and done it. I want to be a pillar of support to you.

      Take care and please be in touch.

      Chris

    • Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I am 24 years old, i was diagnosed with PCOS last year. I am recently married about 4 months now. I have very high insulin and high male testosterone hormone. I dont get my periods regularly at all about every 5-6 months at a time. I went to a fourth Gyne on Friday and he confirmed once again that i have PCOS and that he is goign to be putting me on Metformin once again, i stoped taking it for a while last year, it was making me terribly sick but this year i am going to stick to a new diet and stick to Metformin, myself and my husband we really would like a baby by 2010 so hopefully i can be pregnant by may next year. Its really hard for me to lose weight but i have been on a no carb diet for about 4 days now and it seems to be going good. But i do crave carbs especially bread. But am sticking to my routine. I have the most supportive husband ever i couldnt have asked for a better person to help me go through this.

      Treatments

      Metformin Considering
      I will be starting Metformin tomorrow. I was on it for a month before but it made me terribly sick and my gyne told me to stick to it this time until it gets better becuase its the only pill that can help me right now especially with my high insulin and PCOS etc.
    • Close Miscarriage

      I miscarried last month. I didnt even know i was pregnant we were trying though. I was going to take a test a couple of days. I felt naseous all the time i went off certain foods completely. I was sick morning and evening. I could feel my body was different. I knew inside i was. I bled for about 8 days 3 weeks before my period so i knew something was wrong. I called my gyne and explained my symptoms and he agreed it was a miscarriage but becuase it was still in the early stages.

    • Open Infertility

      First round dont think its working, follicles still too small. Will be put on higher dosage next month to 100mg. Side effects lots of hot flushes really bad, headaches.
      Metformin Too Soon to Tell
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Somewhat Helpful
      Still faint line no ovulation as yet.
