My gyno said that if my blood test comes
back negative for pregnancy then they are
testing me for pcos... What is it? All I
know is that it can make it very hard if
not impossiable to get pregnant....

Pcos is also know as polycystic ovarian
syndrome. It does make it hard to
conceive, but not impossible. If it
comes back that they do diagnose you with
pcos, ask your doc about metformin. It's
a medication that seems quite effective in
bringing on ovulation in women with pcos.
Hope this helps. Good luck

Pcos is alot of cysts on your ovaries. It
has an effect on your testosterone levels
and can cause many different symptoms
including abnormal hair growth on belly
and places you dont want it. Weight gain
or the inablilty to loose weight because
it also effects how our bodies use sugar.
It confuses the ovaries and can cause you
to miss periods for a length of time so it
makes it harder to concieve. I have 2
boys 10 & 4 but was only diagnosed
last year. Metformin is a diabetic drug
that has proven to help us concieve and
loose weight. So good luck. I also have
been trying for 2 years to get pregnant
and havent. :( good luck :lol:
