hey

I can't really relate to what you're going through. I have been diagnosed with PCOS but am not at a stage in my life where i can have children so i don't often comment on this group because i'm at a different stage of life to everyone else. I do however know what its like to feel alone and unsupported which is why your post spoke to me so much. i can guarantee you haven't done anything wrong! this site is all about supporting one another, not about judging so even if you did by mistake write something that someone took harshly they should give you a break! we are all doing the best we can with the resources we have at the time.

so yeah. sorry i'm not much help in terms of understanding TTC. my heart really goes out to you and i truly wish you all the best. i just really wanted to say something so that you don't beat yourself up in your head.

take care

I could be wrong but i think maybe you are mistaken. I dont think that people are purposly ignoring you. They may not have an answer or response to your post, or not read it, or there may be less people on line that day. I hope you feel more welcome, I find most people ( well everyone I have talked to on here) are really nice and willing to help when they can. Good l luck, i wish you the best. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want :) I have PCOS and struggle with infertility issues as well. All the best :)

I have PCOS and have been on Metformin since Sept 2009 and was successful conceiving but had my angel at only 18wks and he was born "asleep",the Metformin does send your body through some GI changes but if you're TTC its definitely worth it...Best of luck to you..keep me posted.

thank you for being so supportive to my wife she needed that. I love ya dear and I know we will get pragant again just hang in there.

Hi there.....I am so sorry you are feeling alone. I do understand what you are saying.....my posts don't get very much play either.....but don't worry about it....I felt badly for a moment as well and then just figure that everyone is dealing with their own stuff and maybe they are not going through what I am. I did have problems getting pregnant and was put on prometrium that was about 10 years ago.....I did finaly get pregnant and now have a nine year old and a six year old so don't give up hope!!!!! Stress can really do a number on you so try and relax. Much love and I wish you all the luck in the world getting pregnant!!!!! Hugs Denise

I agree I don't think it is you....Not all my posts get hits on them either. We are all in the same boat and can all be very supportive to each other and for the most part we all are. Try not to take it personnally and good luck trying to conceive. I was very blessed on Metformin my 1st pregnancy so if you have any questions, please let me know.

I don't think it is you personally. I don't get many responses to posts I make on here neither, but I also just figure people either don't have anything helpful to say or they may not have read it. With so many women posting on here, it's easy to miss posts and can seem like everyone else is getting the support. For me personally, I tend to feel like I'm not experiencing the same issues as most women on here so I hardly reply to posts anymore. It's not that I don't want to support everyone or that I don't feel for everyone, it's more that I often don't really know what to say. But, that being said, if you ever want to talk I'll certainly listen and be there for you. That goes for anyone on DS.

Thank you to all of you ladies for saying the nice things you said, & for being supportive. Some of what some of you were saying almost made me go into tears it made me feel welcomed & told me that you do care. I hope to become friends with all you ladies & support you as well as you'll support me, all of us ladies are in this together & we can help each other through our situations. So again thanks so much.

Awww.. I'm so glad that you got a lot of responses. I meant to do this earlier, but i understand how you feel. I was diagnosed with pcos after my second pregnancy ended with a miscarriage. I have been trying to get pregnant again since then. I, too, have been experiencing difficulty in getting pregnant since my diagnosis. Although, I have just started on this road 3 months ago. I wish you the best.. and hope that you will soon have the joys of pregnancy and holding that new little baby.. Feel free to message me if you'd like. good luck.
*hugs*

I am sorry for your loss. I lost several brothers and sisters to miscarriage when my mother was alive. I wish I could fill this box with advice and encouragement however I struggle with different issues of PCOS. Doctors have told me I will never be able to have children and with the mental disorders in my family along with the risk of passing on PCOS, I feel its for the best. Just keep this in mind counseling can really help you. I am sure in a way we share the same frustrations. I feel all I can find is advice on how to have babies with PCOS. (Most of which seems hardly helpful) When all I want is a way to be able to live a normal life free of pain and not weight 300 pounds. Where in you must be sick of pouring over books and going to doctors appt. hearing the same options and still struggling with that pain from your miscarriage. I hope you find a treatment that helps you have a wonderful child or if you feel its right for you, find a wonderful child in need of a home and adopt.

I'm in the same boat as you. Felt the same way as you everytime that I wrote a journal and barely got one if any responses from my friends. But I'm so used to be a loner...it doesn't seem to phase me that much anymore. I think with the hormones and the pcos we do feel very alone at times. Then we start to take it a little bit personal, but I'm sure that it's not the case. I had a miscarriage on May 13 of this year. I didn't know that I had pcos at the time and the doctors had been telling me for months until the beginning of October that there was nothing wrong with me. It has been very frustrating for me, but I finally found a good OBGYN that diagnosed me and found a cause of the miscarriage and hopefully a solution. Join the miscarriage group...as some women have not gone through a miscarriage on the pcos group. Also join the Trying to Conceive group since you're trying to have a baby. I'm in both of these groups and some women don't understand or haven't been in that situation so they don't post. It's ok....I'm with you. I want to try, but my doctor wants to wait 3 months for the Metformin to work on my body.

How are you being treated for PCOS?

I understand what you are saying. I sometimes feel alone and unsupported, but i am yound and not near a point where I am trying to have children. I do believe my PCOS hinders me a lot and holds me back. The only thing I can say is keep your head up.
