PCOS can be helped loads with a good diet.  Have you been to see a nutritionist - it's well worth it.  Look for someone that specialises in fertility and PCOS.

First of all I want to say that Hmzwave has NO IDEA what he is talking about.\nAs someone that actually has PCOS I can tell you that you cant just fix PCOS. How uneducated are you?\nFor those that dont know, and for those like HmzWave that think they know, PCOS is a result of a HORMONAL IMBALANCE!!!! Fact is, once you have ovarian cysts, you have them forever...they dont go away.\nYour underactive thyriod defiantly plays a huge part.\nJust because you get a regular period doesnt mean that you have ovulated. These hormonal imbalaces effect the ovaiures due to the fact that we dont get a high enough surge of LH to actually make us ovualte. While we do have an amount of the hormone, its not enough to allow the egg to actually mature and break away from the ovaies. The cysts on your ovaries are actually unmatured eggs that have formed into cysts. The trouble is that due to the fact that there is cysts there, if infact you do get to the point where an egg is mature enough to be released, it cant escape. \nMy suggestion to you is to get a really good understanding of this condition. Diet plays a massive role in managing your PCOS, as do a whole lot of other factors. Search around on the net, and go and see a good Gyno. Ask questions, dont be scared of them. I was terrified when I first saw my Ob/gyn, but after reading more about PCOS, I realised there was so much more I needed to know. \nThe contraceptive pill does not "fix" PCOS either...it just mearly gives an artificial cycle, and addss to the hormonal imbalance by throwing them out even more. \nAfter doing my research Ive been working with a naturopath for 8 months, and Ive been able to balnace my hormones naturally and actually ovulate regularly for the first time in about 3 yrs. \nPlease, please get some good advice from a good Ob/Gyn. Dont be complacent with your fertillity.

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome often are infertile because they don't ovulate. 40% to 80% of women with PCOS have a problem with fertility. The reason for this wide variation is that PCOS is a complex metabolic syndrome, with multiple factors that can interfere with fertility. \n\nHaving PCOS does NOT mean you will not have children.  I would talk to your doctors about how to treat PCOS and increase your chance of having children.

PCOS, polysystic ovarianan syndrom would be my guess. It causes women to be overweight, affects the endocrene system including sugar in a manner simmilar to diabetes and can cause diabetes, affects the frequency of periods from having few to many. Women with PCOS can become pregnant but it is often difficult. Sugar regualtors and birth control are often perscribed to take care of the symptoms which include excess testosterone, facial hair, a bump on th neck, and ovarian cysts. This is just my guess from  what you said the doctor wanted to do, check it out for yourself.

I do, and it is horrible for me!\n\nFor those who don't have it, PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.  It is when a woman does not ovulate properly.  The egg remains trapped in the ovary, causing a "pearl necklace" appearance on her ovaries.  It is not contagious nor anything to be freaked out by.  Other symptoms of PCOS include: being prone to diabetes later in life, overweight, underweight, excessive body hair, thinning hair on head, mood swings, depression, fertility issues, skin tags, discoloration of skin (neck), irregular periods. Researchers have hinted that it may be entirely genetic.\n\nI am trying to have a baby, but can't seem to conceive.  This causes depression.  I'm in a slump.  (It's only been 3 years!)\n\nJust be sure to follow your doctor's directions.  Many prescribe birth control pills to straighten out your hormones.  Some also prescribe Metformin, a diabetic drug, to help regulate the ovaries.

I would go see a gynecologist. In the beginning, periods can be irregular while your body gets used to ovulating. There is something that your GYN will probably test for called PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome. Basically this means that your body isn't ovulating at all, or at very irregular intervals. If you aren't ovulating at all, your uterus prepares for an egg, and keeps waiting until it is "full" and then you'll appear to have a period when it is tired of waiting for an egg to show up. Birth control pills will regulate and lighten your cycle. If you're not interested in birth control, your GYN will probably recommend that you have at least 4 periods a year and will prescribe hormones to induce a period every now and then. If you don't shed the endometrial lining every now and then, you'll increase your risk for things like cancer. If it is PCOS, you'll need to talk to fertility specialists to induce ovulation if you're interested in making babies. Of course . . . . this is just one thing that your problem could be caused by. I'm not a physician, and don't know your health status, so go to the GYN to get it checked out.

hi, i think you meant  you were diagnosed w/ PCOS. there is no cure for this syndrome. you will never have regular periods, and you should get the book called - PCOS: the hidden epidemic to learn more about it. also, search for "insuline resistance" which is linked to causing PCOS and learn more about that. I also have this problem, and it's something VERY serious. could cause many problems, i.e. fertility problems, diabetes etc. so please, read up on it, and start taking care of yourself NOW.

Having recently had a miscarriage I was also interested in this question, from what I could find out from various web sites worldwide, 1 in 4 women miscarry, most not even knowing they have done so, when they have a miscarriage and believe it to be a regular period. In saying that though, I have 2 sisters and  2 out of 3 of us have had miscarriages! So perhaps it is even more common than we think. Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy, doctors really don't know what causes miscarriages in most cases. Just follow the general guidelines of being in good health and taking care of yourself. At the first sign of any bleeding, try to rest as much as possible and see your doctor. Although not proven to help, some doctors still recommend the bed rest as a way for your body to calm down and relax itself. Unfortunately, though in most cases, if you're going to miscarry, then there really isn't a great deal anyone can do to help you. Exercise (not strenuously) take your prenatals, and try not to worry. In most cases, things are ok. Good luck

If you've got pcos, definately talk to your doctor, they have a drug, metformin, that will regulate your glucose and insulin and even out your hormones, making your cycle more regualar and easier for you to get pregnant.  But your doctor will want to do blood tests.  I had them done and it turns out although I thought I had pcos, I don't and there's something else messing up my hormons.  An obgyn that specializes in pcos or an endrocronoligist will be able to help you.  Good luck!

i dont know what could be wrong with you but i also had a miscarriage once.  when i fell preg the second time, i had test done and the result was that i was prone to having more miscarriages, probably like you.  i was given a vaccine for that.  i cant give you more details because i cant remember that well.  i'll find my test and get back to you if i can to tell you what your doc can probably look into.

HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS MAY BE PCOS The most common symptoms of PCOS are an irregular period, infertility, increased hair growth and unusual weight gain, even with dieting or increased exercise. Women with PCOS will often go for months without a period and then start bleeding heavily for days. This occurs when the uterine lining has gotten too thick and the body must naturally shed it. Because PCOS disrupts ovulation it can be very difficult to become pregnant. \n\nOther signs of PCOS include acne, high blood pressure, obesity,loss of hair  and abnormal facial and body hair growth (due to too much testosterone). One of the less recognizable symptoms of PCOS is depression, which can be misread as a bipolar illness. While depression stems from many factors, we think it is always a good idea to consider PCOS if patients have other symptoms. In some medical practices antidepressants are prescribed which do not alleviate the underlying issues and therefore are not very helpful.

i have had miscarriages and 2 were diagnosed as having turner syndrome and klinefelter syndrome - genetic abnormalities. this is the number 1 reason for miscarriage.\nlike others here have mentioned blood incopatability can be another cause ie, i have A neg blood, my baby had A positive blood. other reasons include an incompetent cervix and uterine damage (from D&C's, abortions etc) those are just the naturally occur reasons. there is also health conditions the mother (or father) may have such as endometriosis. also smoking, alcohol and drugs but those are the obvious ones.

Ouchie hon..sorry you feel so lousy! I have had almost all of the symptoms of PCOS but my doctor never diagnosed it. I do what you are going through though. I don't go a day without plucking, shaving etc....I have had some tremendous abdominal pains. I have even had surgery twice to remove tumors. The first time I had tumors the size of large grapefruits and, the second time(yes, they grew back. And only 2 years apart) they were the size of softballs. Here it is 4 years later and I need it again.\n\nThe dark blood could mean you may have endometriosis in addition to the cysts. Endo is also known as having 'chocolate cysts'. These may have been bursting, or your ovarian cysts have been bursting. Hence all the pain and bleeding you have endured.\n\nWrite down any questions you may have and bring them with you to the doctor. Have a friend with you for moral support as well. It never helps to go through this alone. Hope you feel better soon hon..this is a toughie but, you'll get through it. Keep us posted!

I have that problem. I get one maybe 1 or 2 a year. I went to the doctor and they found out that i have a thyroid problem. or it could possible be PCOS. Talk with your doctor or you OB/GYN to see what they could possibly do to check and see what's wrong.
