Hi guys.
My name is Joanne and I am 32 years old (well 32 in July!) I am having serious troubles I suffer from polysistic ovaries and have been trying for 7 years to get pregnant.. Absolutely no Joy!
Any one got any tips or advice? My doctor once told me to 'give it up as a bad job' that totally isn't an option! Xx
Hiya, PcOS can still become pregnant. You and your other half should consult your GP it's also possible that your other half's got a problem. X
Hi joanne...Wow 7 yrs is a long time we've been tryin for 4 yrs 2 of which have been having tests and procedures done to find out what exactly is the problem , have you not been refered for IVF with having polycystic ovaries?
I was at the doctors Tuesday and she is referring me to the fertility clinic! Hopefully they can sort me out its so disheartening.. I have 1 period a year Which is why I can't get pregnant
Ohh i see hopefully your partner wont have any problems and they might be able to give you some meds to help you ovulate that way you could be 1 of the lucky ones that dnt have to experience the rollercoaster of ivf treatment, i know someone who tried the meds with no look so went on to ivf which failed an later fell pregnant naturally now she is pregnant again naturally sometimes i think the ovaries just need a little kick start, wish you all the best with everything and you dnt have to wait much longer to have some success x
Thank you for your kind words. I do hope I'll be fine with the tablets. I am currently on metformin but they are making me feel so ill. Fingers crossed I get some answers when I go to the clinic.
Thank you x
Hi joanne31- ,I am just like u,polycystic ovaries and barely had any periods.is so frustrating seeing signs+nothing happening.we tried 4 3 years 4 our son.i was referred 2 a fertility clinic+put on 50mg clomid.it didnt work v well but it mustve kick started something+I got pregnant.hes now 5.we started 2 try 4 another 1 2 years later+I got pregnant in 3 months but my hormones were so messed up I miscarried.we tried 4 another year+then got referred again 2 a fertility clinic.i was put on metformin,I frlt really ill on it 2 but bare with it cos the symptoms wear off.i started 2 get period every 8 wks which 4 me was unheard of.then after being on that 4 4 months they put me on clomid again.i felt so rough but after 5 cycles it did the job+im now 6 months pregnant.im 36+was ready 2 give up but dont give up.try+stay relaxed and not get 2 focused on it which I know is hard but the last 2 cycles I d given up.there r a few different options before u have 2 go through ivf so try those 1st.good luck.xx
It's so lovely to hear from someone who knows exactly how I feel. Not going to lie it's starting to suck the life out of me.. Everyone around me is pregnant and I just think why not me?! I was on metformin but came off because of how they made me feel.: they made me feel weak and i work with children so can't be feeling like that. I am going to start them again. I've spoken to the doctor and she has referred me but suggested I go back on the metformin and might kick start something. So fingers crossed... Congratulations on being pregnant. Hope it works out for you. Xxx
That is so strange,im a nursery nurse!I know what u mean,I felt so tired+sick on them but if u stick with it after a week or two it ll settle down.i was told 2 up my dose after a wk but I waited a month cos I felt so bad.its so hard when everyone is getting pregnant around u,people would say 2 me "im thinking of trying" and then nxt thing theyre telling me theyre pregnant+I couldnt even have a period.i d resigned myself 2 the fact that I was never going 2 have another 1 but its happened.dont give up hope.if u want 2 stay in touch u can always pm me.xx
How do I pm you ? I'm new to this and only joined yesterday!! On of our parents from work has just found out she pregnant.. She knows my situation cos we are quiet close! She messaged me and said Joanne don't be bitter I've waited nine months to fall pregnant.. I couldn't even reply cos I was so annoyed.. 9 months bully for you how about 7 years makes me so mad .... Xx
I know,I was 3 years with my son+3 years with this 1 so I cant imagine what 7 years feels like.i think that unless people r in this situation they cant understand.xx
Princess09....
So glad to hear youre 6 months along... I've thought of you a few times wondering how you'd got on! This makes me smile 
xx
Oh,thank u WeeMrsH.how r things going with u?xx
Hi ladies, I too work in a nursery so am constantly surrounded by pregnant mums and new babies. It's lovely and I am happy for them but it's so hard when it is all you want and seems so out of reach. I wish you all the very best Joanne and hope the doctors can help and get things moving soon and Princess09, thank you for sharing a positive story and giving us hope. Xx
It can definately happen ladies.good luck 2 both of u.please stay in touch.xx
Doctor advised me to start taking metformin again.. I've been up all night been sick. So I'm off to the doctor this afternoon to see if they can give me some anti sickness tablets to stop me being sick! I feel like death warmed up! 😭
Oh no,I felt so sick on metformin but was never sick.have u just started off on 500mg?good luck at the docs.xx
My doctor suggested I didn't take any more until we went to the clinic.. When I came home there's an appointment for next week xx
