I feel so inadequate!

You need to go see a reproductive endocrinologist, and ask your doctor about putting you on metaforim. Often with the use of Met and a lose of weight those with PCOS van become pregnant with no other intervention.

and you are not getting old. I had my miracles when I was 35 years old..

You have so many options ahead of you, do not give up hope and do not be down on yourself.

Hi Nichole,

Hope you are doing fine.

Generally as you knew very well about so many advanced medical technology
which is available to treat your problem. So don't worry and also don't
lost your hope, be confident YES you can becomes mother as soon as possible .

I am advising you to see your Gynecologist for the medical check up, may
she will check all your hormones level and try to find all the related
information for the infertility. Once if she found the reasons I am sure
that she will suggest to go for some medicines or may be go for operation.
If the treatments are whatever, you have to go according to your
doctor's advices.

Still the medical technology can't do anything on your infertility,
then choose the other method ( having a women/girl for rent to carry your
baby until the delivery )to satisfy your husband as well as yourself.

So be confident and I am sure you are going to get a baby very soon.

Have a nice day.

Best of luck.

There was a woman who was despised because she was barren. Other people despised her and that made her cry and pity herself just like you. Her name is Hannah. What is good about this woman is that she knew someone who is in control of everything. She went to God day after day for years and prayed that if God will open her womb and give her a man-child, she will give it back to God. After some years, God opened the womb of Hannah that she bare Samuel whom she gave back to God to serve Him. After that, she bare more children. I think there is a lesson here. God is able to do what is impossible with men!

Hello, I am undergoing IVF at present and understand completely what you mean about feeling worthless. In a particularly emotional outburst i informed my fiance that "I hve no purpose, i am completely useless, i cant even do what women were put on earth to do". It is very difficult, but i try to remember that off the people that do have natural births only a handful of them are aas well equipt aas we will be in the paarenting part. I know that i will truly cherish my children and will go to great lenghts to ensure that they are happy and well cared for. As i am sure yours will.

I had been trying to get preegnant for two years when i went to my doctor, i had been having terrible moodswings and feared that i may have a hormonne imbalance, i explained this and underwent tests. These all returned negative, i then told my doctor that i had been trying for a child for over two years and had not fallen, she referred me to my local hospitals gynaecologist. I would just be honest with your doctor, tell him/her about your PCOS, and explain that you have been trying with out results, they generally need for you to havee been trying for around 3 years. Explain that it is causing you distress and that you would like to go for fertility investigations.

In order to heighten your chances of pregnancy, eat a balanced diet rich in iron, eat plenty of fish and veg, non fatty meats. Stay away from takeaways, tv dinners and processed foods like the sandwich meats, (wafer thin stuff). Also avoid nuts. Take Foolic Acid daily (take care not to overdose on these. And the obvious things NO SMOKING and the recommended weekly allowance of Alcohol units is 0. Also make sure that you are walking and do simple non extrenuous exercises to prepare your body.

I do not have PCOS, but they did suspect it, there is aa risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation during IVF when you have PCOS, but they doo their best to avoid these things. I have very weak fallopian tubes. The specialist advised me that she wanted me to consider having them removed, however at 23 years of age i am not ready to make that decision. I am unwilling to give up all hope of falling naturaly! I was originally told that i did not produce eggs but this haas since been proven wrong, although it would seem i dont produce the standard of egg yyou need for reproduction.

I have not as yet got a success story but have everything crossed and should be pregnant by the end of September if everything goes to plan, in will keep you posted if you would like?

Try and focus on the fact that you have not yet taken every avnenue, there is still a very high chance that you will be a mum, i have a friend that has never used ccontraception and has two children that were born 6 years apart, she has never been prgnant since. So you may still fall naturally, but i would definately get the ball rolling towards IVF, it is quite a long process so the sooner you talk to your Doctor the sooner you will be on track. Good luck anfd try to keep smiling. Fingers and toes crosseed for you both. Toni xxx

I am in a similar situation than you are. Not being able to get pregnant is hard. My husband and I suffer from male infertility.

The important thing to remember is that we live in a time of age where help is available. Don't be shy about talking to your doctor. It feels embarrassing, but with 1 in 7 couples having trouble to conceive doctors are not going to be judgemental. As you already know that you suffer from PCOS you obviously spoke to a doctor before. Just make an appointment, explain the situation and ask for advise.

If you want to improve your chances to get pregnant already now you should start making sure your weight in in a healthy range (between 19 and 30 BMI) and you eat healthily.

It's not an easy road to motherhood when you as a couple suffer infertility, but if all else fails, you at least know that you are in a loving relationship. You might even consider adoption, being able to give a loving, stable home to a child.

Don't let it get yourself down. Infertility isn't your fault, it is just destiny. And it doesn't mean you'll never have kids.
