Pcos And On Fertility Drugs

[Asherscrashers 43]

hey all! I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago.... i want more than anything to have a baby and this is why i had lap band (besides getting healthy and feeling better) so anyways, i lost 104 lbs and started going to a fertility dr again a few months ago. After a round of clomid with nothing coming of it, and then 9 days of follistim and a shot of ovidril, i finally ovulated ( for the first time in my life i think) so we went home did the baby dance and now i think i am pregnant. I have been having waves of nausea, my boobs hurt when touched, mood swings, tired, headaches, white discharge. But my question is... does it sound like i am pregnant or can this still be side affects of the drugs? i can test Friday as that will be 2 weeks since i ovulated... please if anyone has any advise or been through this please respond! thanks all!

I too have PCOS(isen't this disorder just lovely?) I'm so glad to hear you lost over 100lbs.

Did your doctor put you on Metformin? and low carb diet for the disorder. Research has found that those with PCOS need the metformin to help regulate their suggars and it also helps to prevent miscariage. Progesterone therapy also helps to prevent it. as many wommen with pcos are progesterone defficient and can't make enough to support the pregnancy. So please ask your doctor to monitor your progesterone levels and if they ask you to take progesterone in oil or another form of progesterone take it it is good for your pregnancy.

Yes, definitely ask about the metformin. I have pcos and miscarried my first baby when I didn't take it. I took it with the 2nd and have a beautiful daughter!

All those things sound exactly like my first trimester :)I do not have pcos but I do have progesterone deficiency and miscarried twice because I was unaware if it. So definatley have the doc check its a simple blood test!

Praying for you! Hope you see that little plus sign!
