Pco?

[sammejayne]

Hi all I have PCO, but have been told it doesn’t effect ttc.. I’ve been trying three years it must effect it?! Anyone know how I can help this x

[Mrsplant]

Do u take vitamins?

Do u test 2 make sure u ovulate?

Have u been scanned and had the dye test??

[sammejayne in reply to Mrsplant]

Yes had everything and all ok apparently apart from a few cyst x

[Mrsplant in reply to sammejayne]

Thats me and its annoying cuz i dnt tick all the boxes for it and i have to do IVF xx

[sammejayne in reply to Mrsplant]

Don’t tick all the boxes for what?.. I’ve been told out next stage is ivf too which we have to fund as my oh bad a daughter already

[Mrsplant in reply to sammejayne]

I dnt tick all the boxes which wpuld normally say i have full on PCOS.. things like lots of hair.. over weight or find it hard to loose weight.

Ive done my 1st lot of IVF but unfortunately it didnt workxx

Ive been told the same. My acupuncturist suggested I started taking a herb called vitex agnus castus .. its supposed to help balance out your hormones as PCO is caused by an imbalance of hormones in the first place. This is my second month of taking it. Fingers crossed it helps. Might be worth looking in to? x

[sammejayne in reply to Sunshine92]

did your acupuncturist mention it effects ttc? ok ill look into it?

thanks

[Sunshine92 in reply to sammejayne]

If you’re hormones are all balanced everything is more insync. Google it, it has been shown to have lots of benefits for those TTC x

[sammejayne in reply to Sunshine92]

Ok thanks xx

Hi. Do you have PCO or the syndrome. If you have the syndrome and you do not ovulate frequently your fertility will be affected. If you just have a cystic appearance to you ovaries but no hormonal abnormalities I dont think it is. But you will still be a risk of hyperstimulation if you go down the off route.

I had cystic ovaries and they where concerned about overstimulation but I actually responded poorly so you can never tell.

[sammejayne in reply to Hidden]

it is PCO not pcos, I ovulate and have regular periods. I have had all tests going and so has my OH and no reason as to why im not conceiving, I have never been pregnant.. but the only thing they have noticed is I have PCO.. this has got to effect ttc otherwise why isn't it happening...

[Hidden in reply to sammejayne]

Unfortunately lots of people have 'unexplained infertility' with completely normal tests. Good luck with your journey.

Hey . I have PCO and everything else is normal however can't get pregnant ttc 7 years.

My sister in law have PCO and she's got 5 kids (1 after another) so sometimes pco will make it hard to get pregnant and sometimes it won't.

[sammejayne in reply to Pauleenka86]

Have you tried ivf? 7 years wow I can’t imagine x

[Pauleenka86 in reply to sammejayne]

Yes just did my first cycle (hopefully last) 😉 had Egg transfer 2 days ago so going to do pregnancy test on the 22nd.July 😁 xx

[sammejayne in reply to Pauleenka86]

Sorry to ask, how did you wait 7 years... I’ve only done 3 and am going to start ivf after we marry in April, I can’t wait any longer xx

[Pauleenka86 in reply to sammejayne]

We didn't wait😁 We were ttc since I was 25 and when I got to 30 years old that's when we went to fertility clinic.Not having kids before 30 didn't bother us because we had an amazing life and diffrent priorities. We tried some treatments and IVF was the last option unfortunately. Xxx

[sammejayne in reply to Pauleenka86]

that's fair enough.. I have everything crossed for you, please update me when you get your BFP

[Tugsgirl]

I have pco too. Came as a bit of a shock when we started treatment as I ovulate and have a regular cycle. We have Male factor issues with sperm though. I think in general it’s believed that it shouldn’t hinder natural conception, not in itself anyway xx
