getting pregnant with PCOS
Posted: 04-03-08 12:22pm

ok i have PCOS polycystic ovarian syndrom, and I was wondering what I can do to help me get pregnant... I know there has to be some meds out there to help... but also, what can i get thats covered under insurance and does insurance tell my mom what meds i have, and have gotten...

I will be over 18 when i start trying, in about or a lil less than a year... but i will still be under my moms insurence, and do not want her to know i am trying, i see that it is NONE of her business what me and my fiance, [husband in a year] will be doing...

I think it is her business since you are still being taken care of to some extent by her. Why not wait until you are more stable with your finances and relationship and try then? I am sure your future child would appreciate it.

no the only thing she is doing to take care of me is that im on her insurence plan till im out or of college... other than were very stable... we have our own house that were moving into in december.. and were going to start trying next spring or end of winter....

not to be mean... but all i want is a answer, because you obviously do not know me or my life.... [[i really didnt mean that in a mean way though i know it sounded like it but its not! ]]

I did say to some extent. Insurance is not cheap. Also, why not wait until you are out of school? Babies are expensive. I may not know you but i do know that rasing a child is not easy. Why make it harder on yourself when you are just starting out on your marriage and still in college?

If you are married is the insurance going to cover you, most companies drop you when something like that happens

but pregnant or not, its not costing her any more or less money... so its doesnt bother her, and i kno it is hard and i know it is expensive , i have the money and im prepared to have the responsibility ... I have a quite a bit of medical problems and 3 doctors have told me the younger i am the better chance i will have of gettin pregnant... me and my fiance have been discussing this for a year and feel its rite for us, but seriously, this has nothing to do with my question..... how hard is it to juss get some MEDICAL answers here without being lectured by people that do not know you .... im not trying to sound mean but all I want is answers, not a lecture =[

I am sorry if you feel like you're being lectured, but in away its true. IF you have the money to raise a child and go to college and buy a house. I would suggest to use the money to get insurance when you're out of school and have the baby then?

I guess all I am saying is. Try to get your education first, because I am sure you haven't saved up for 18 years of a childs life.. Which could cost millions. Also ENJOY your wedding, and your husband. While you're together.. Spend time being husband and wife Smile Enjoy your time with him and when everything is settle then try.

As far as the PCOS goes. I am not sur eof your diet or health, but it took my boyfriend and I over 3 years to get pergnant. I am 24 and am SOO NOT READY!!! Actually you're probbaly more prepared than me. I am just stating the ideal what I wish I had did. Anyway, it has taken 3 years and its an extreamly high risk pregnany. I spend alot of time in the hospital bleeding etc. So, prepare yourself mentally for what you're about to get into. My doctor said that its the PCOS that has caused all of my complications. Anyway, we just did it naturally for 3 1/2 years and then I got pregnant. Now I am 16 weeks. You can do it.. Its your choice.. Just reallllllllllly think about it!

Good luck and keep us updated!!

I understand the urge to have a baby. I also understand how it feels to be told you are too young. I am 20 and getting married soon. Many people think it will fail but that is their opinion, but also, I will be out of college and I already support myself COMPLETELY as it is. Please think about it for awhile.

Well Insurance would tell what meds and what doctors you have been to since you are still under your moms insurance. Your mom would have the right to look up all doctors appointments you have had and all medications you have been prescribed.

It sounds like you are trying to hide something from your parents. Is that what your intentions are? If that is the case, I dont think what you are doing is fair to them since they are paying for your medical care.

I think that if you and your future husband are ready for a baby, then you are ready to take care of your own insurance and not have to worry about weather or not your mom finds out about it.

What are you going to do when the baby is born? Are you going to expect to be on your parents insurance with the new baby? How is that fair?

actually i know it sounds weird, but we have enough for our house payment and to support us and a baby... but the extra few hundred a mounth of insurance would be tough and unnecessary when i can get insurance untill i am out of college... im actualy on my dads plan, which i just realized, not my moms, and my dad is a fireman, so it comes with his job, why not get free insurance if possible, 1 or 2 hundred a mounth can be very helpful for the baby instead of the insurance...
and the firemans insurance keeps me on untill im 21 or out of college no matter what... meaning if i get married that wont change.

ALSO we are starting to try next winter or spring, expecting not to get pregnant rite away... if we do get pregnant rite away, we will be prepared, but were hoping to get pregnant in the fall or late summer...

oh and since i was 10 ive been around babies and little kids... honestly when im not taking care or around kids/babies i feel empty... same with my fiance, thats why we have decieded we want a baby so soon, other than medical problems .... we definitely agreed on this and feel its rite for us and our sitution

But, like I said before you are most likely going ot get kicked off the insurance policy when you get married, your paretns are not considered your supporters anymore

I agree, I dont think that you will be able to stay on if you get married. Have you really checked that out or are you assuming?

So, is your dad's firemans insurance free for him? Or does he have to pay a premium? Chances are, he has to pay for you to have you on his insurance. Even if he is a paid fireman that works for the county and the county pays for the employees insurance (which a lot of couties do) you have to pay extra for family members. So he would be paying for you to be on his insurance.

Also then, if you are not paying for your own insurance, then once the baby comes and you are saving the money from the insurance and spending it on the baby, then who is going to pay for the babies insurance? You father's insurance WILL NOT pay for YOUR babies insuance.

What does your fiance do, why cant he get family insuance through his company.

If you are responsible to have a baby, then you are responsible enough to pay for your own insurance and not expect your parents to pay for your medical bills just because it is free money for you

If you feel you could not afford the insurance, you could always look into like a medicaid program or something for when you do become pregnant, too.

I do agree with star though, you might say you are ready to handle a baby and take care of it, but if you canot provide insurance for it, you may not be as ready as you think.

You are allowed to stay on as long as you can be claimed as a dependent. Legally (federal standards) after you are married they can no longer claim you as a dependent and therefor you would not be on their insurance plan.

I also have PCOS.
My husband and I tried to get pregnant for over 2 years with nothing to help (thats before I found out that I had PCOS) so then we decided to go and see a doctor. So my doctor put me on Clomid 50mg with no success and then she put me on higher dose of Clomid 100mg and that didn't work for me.. so I went back and she put me back on Clomid again with 150mg and that didn't work for me..I didn't even ovulate dose 3 time I was on Clomid....I remember I was so upset with everything.
Then I went in for the last time to see my doctor and I told her that this is my last time trying out fertility drugs. (cause it didn't help me) So my doctor puts me back on Clomid 50mg WITH low dose Metformin this time and guess what? it helped me I got pregnant with one try and now I'm 28wks and 3day with a little girl. I went thew all the pain waiting to have a child of my own. it's all worth it!

And about that insurance. My husband has really good insurance and his insurance did NOT cover for my fertility drugs prescriptions. his insurance only covered my doctors visits and hospital visits.
We wanted to get pregnant so bad that we didn't care how much money we would spend on prescriptions and fertility drugs.
But just to let you know. they are not that expensive.

Good luck sweety with everything!!!!
I hope God Blesses you like he blessed us! :0)
