dont know what to do?

I am TTC for 1 Year. I have a baby girl who is 3.

I have PCOS. Periods are normal, little over weight, high insulin resistance (controlled now with Diabex). no other PCOS symptoms.

My doctor wont give me any medication. She thinks other than PCOS there is nothing wrong with me. I am fine medically.

I want to have another BABY. Than why i am not falling pregnant. What should i do? She is a gud doctor. I had high insulin resistance even when i had my first baby but fell preg after 2 months of TTC.

Re: dont know what to do?

Could just be stress or timing...

u could try using ovulation predictor kits to understand your pattern?

It took me almost a year to get pregnant the second time around when it only took 2 months the first.

Change in lifetstyle (which obvously a child brings), stress, eating habits, and just timing could be the issue..

Good luck! :)

Re: dont know what to do?

Thanks Sadzzz. Which Ovulation predictor kit should i use. As i do have PCOS, i am told ovulation kits dont work with PCOS.

Re: dont know what to do?

you should get a second opinion. it does take longer to conceive with PCOS and she knows it, so i'm not sure why your doctor won't take steps to assist you knowing you've been ttc'ing for a year.

Re: dont know what to do?

usually the full year is all they ask for before they intervene, no?

Re: dont know what to do?

^ yes, Muzna, correct. If after a full year of trying concieve, you are not successful, then it is time to intervene. I'm not sure where you live, but if you are in US/Canada seek the advice of Reproductive Endocronologist. They are highly specialized physicians who specifically deal with hormonal imbalances/trouble conceiving.

Also, if you have PCOS and are trying to conceive, being overweight will definitely hinder the process. Even losing 10-15 lbs can make a world of difference.

Re: dont know what to do?

If you have PCOS you have raised levels of LH even when you are not ovulating. Ovulation predictor kits will give you false positives. I learned that the hard way.

I think you should see a Reproductive Endicrinologist.

Are your cycles regular? Do you know if you are ovulating? Did you need any help to conceive #1?

Re: dont know what to do?

People with PCOS have a hard time getting pregnant.If you are a diagnosed case and have been ttc for a year,you might wanna seek a second opinion at this point with preferably a reproductive endocrinologist.
All the best,iA.

Re: dont know what to do?

Apologies, I had no idea about this (in terms of PCOS and LH)

I believe she conceived her first within 2 months...

Re: dont know what to do?

*I had PCOS when i had my daughter. Now weight is even less than first preg. I am on lower end of PCOS and according to her i am not in need of any medication or any thing else. she believes it will happen. now thats its one year, i will be seeing her on friday to discuss again. *

*Its so hard for me to loose weight. and I have always been little over weight but i am trying to loose and exercise. My periods are normal...infact they happen around same time every month. *

Re: dont know what to do?

My cycles are regular. my dr did test to see if i am ovulating and it was positive.
with my first one i was on diabex too but i conceived after 2 months.

Re: dont know what to do?

That's good to hear! Wouldn't hurt to see an RE.

Has your hubby been tested?
