im 22 yrs old and have been having unprotected sex since i was 18 with my husband (young i know) i diagnosed myself when i was 17 so i guess i have been trying for so long because i know theres a slim chance of actually getting pregnant. well now its been like 4 and a half years trying to get pregnant naturally and still no success and i was wondering if you all think that i might not ever ovulate ? or has there been others of you who have tried for that long and have had success? do you think you can become pregnant naturally with pcos?


thank you all and god bless you :)

Martita, I was diagnosed with pcos since I was 25 (I am 30 now). Was on bcp's till I had a major ovarian cyst removal surgery in which I lost my right ovary (you can read my journal entry, it was a traumatic experience). That's when I got serious about having a baby and tried for a year with synthetic hormone therapy (clomid) but it didnt happen. Sometimes I had to have prometrium to bring it on, and I started to doubt the efficacy of these synthetic drugs. So I decided to research alternative natural therapy and was motivated to go on alone, without doc's help, especially because my hubby was diagnosed with low sperm count (which they said would NEVER let me get pregnant- how rude and disheartening!).

We had fresh fruit/veg juices, watched our diet, exercised and took fertility aid (for men)...and I took Fertility Blend for women (because I had read about a scientific study that proved its efficacy, and I'm a phd student, so more inclined to believe in scientific evidence). Started the meds in June 5(first day of last period), and took ppl's advice that we should relax and stop worrying about getting pregnant. We just returned from a short vacation and on July 9 I tested positive on HPT. I know what made this happen..surely it's the natural herbal supplement and some relaxed state of mind.

So, the answer to your question is that you can of course become naturally pregnant with pcos (and with one ovary as well). Just keep at it, be patient, don't lost hope, DON'T LISTEN TO NEGATIVE PEOPLE (even if it is your doc writing you off), believe in yourself and the power of nature to heal your body. The healing mechanisms are within you, not outside...

Good luck!
