PCOS question ..

I there I’m melanie and I’ll be 36 in July .. my dream was to be a mom when I was in my 20’s but unfortunately last October I got diagnosed with PCOS and it’s hard for me to conceive, I cannot ovulate.. I’ve been to a gynaecologist but that wasn’t much help all she did was vaginal swab and blood work☹️ then I went to see a endocrinologist and again she was useless al l she said was to lose “weight “ … and I take “PROVERA ( Medroxyprogesterone) to have a period , I’ve been off birth control since last June 2023… I just do t rely on the medroxyprogesterone forever…. is there any women on here that have any suggestions or can help? Thanks!! 😊

I have this same problem, I have PCOS and do not ovulate every month like I should. My husband and I could not conceive on our own because of the ovulation issues. I highly suggest seeing a fertility specialist, they are the only ones that helped us start a family there is only so much a GP can do. Our fertility doctor gave us clomid to start which forces your body to ovulate unfortunately, that didn’t work for us but it did for quite a few I know. My husband and I had to go the IVF route

The problem is I have Crohn’s disease so I’m not sure if that will affect my stomach… and I’m currently not working so I don’t how is IFV.. and just to test my bf sperm it’s $200 plus tax☹️☹️

I would ask if clomid would hurt your stomach or not, it was pretty affordable if I remember correctly. There was lots of testing that both my husband and I had to do before they gave us anything though to rule out other things that could be factoring in

Have you tried using letrozole? I used letrozole with my period on cycle days 2-6 and fell pregnant with my son. I suffer pcos and amenorrhea and letrozole worked for me.

Read Woman Code by Alisa Vitti, it may help with your issues! I highly recommend it

Do not get me wrong because what I’m going to tell you is what your endocrinologist said and that worked for me. If you have PCOS and insulin resistance then below would help! I was suffering from PCOS from 8+ years when I planned to get pregnant all I did was lose weight and take a specific supplement, losing weight was very hard at first I had to cut carbs 100% at night but it eventually worked. Myoinositol is the supplement name which helped me along with weight loss. Before taking myoinositol check with your doctor it may not suit everyone
