Pcos - Can Anyone Relate? Posted: 06-06-06 15:25pm
I was only diagnosed a couple of years ago
when I was 28 years old, but probably have
had it since I was a teenager which would
explain a lot. I had been on
glucophage and clomid to try and help me
ovulate, but it wasn't working so my
doctor put me on actos and femara which is
supposed to have the same effect.
Still no luck. I've been married for
over 3 years - i'm almost 31 and my
husband is 38. We desperately want to
have a family and are getting discouraged.
He's been tested and is fine so it's
just a matter of getting my ovaries to
cooperate. I've had ultrasound scans
that show my ovaries are responding to the
fertility meds but we can't conceive for
some reason. I feel bad like i'm
letting my husband down even though he
says i'm not and is very supportive.
Can anyone else relate? :(

Trying to conceive for almost 6 years and
found out I had pcos 3 years into it. I
haven't been able to get preg yet

family through adoption.

My husband and I also briefly looked into
adoption, but there are so many expenses
involved (like the home study and lawyer
fees) that we don't know if we'll ever be
able to do it. It would take years for
us to save up the thousands of dollars
involved in adopting. Isn't there any
program or adoption assistance for couples
on a limited budget to be able to give a
child a good home?

If you go through your states foster
program costs are greatly reduced and they
do the homestudy .

I to have pcos and have been to a
fertility specialist. I took the shots
and they actually worked. I didn't become
pregnant however. My husband sperm count
was high, so we got discouraged and quit
going to the center. I now have lost
50lbs and just order ovulex. Have you
heard of it? I hope this works. I have a
1yr old nephew and a 6yr old nephew that I
love dearly. I have come to terms that if
ovulex doesn't work, those two boys will
be it for me. Adoption would be another
option but the cost is out of range for
us.

me know how it is going. I heard ovulex
dosnt have any side effects but I been on
edge and I cried for no reason. I dont
know if its trying to straightern out my
hormones or what. I started it on my last
period and still not due for period till
the 25th so I hope it dosnt come. Please
let me know how you are doing. If you
would like you can email me direct at jimytab@h
ughes.Net before ovulex I had no
periods except if I took bc pills and I
have facial hair problems. Can you
relate?
