My story is a little different. I found out about 6 years ago that I have PCOS. After 15 years and 8 different infertility doctors not being able to figure out what my problem was. My new family doctor ( Just out of Med School) figured it out. It took him a hole 2 days. LOL The problem was that I was starting to have other medical problems(heart). So my husband and I decided not to try for a pregnancy. So I never checked into what it would take to become pregnant. Then 3 1/2 years ago I had a heart attack. thank god it did very little damage to my heart. But 18 Months later I had to have quad. bypass surgery. So we thought that our chances for having a child were over. My heart surgent put me on Met. so that I could loose weight. All she told us was this is the best way for me to loose weight with pcos along with a low carb diet. Then I started having alot of hair growth. I talked to all my doctors and they said that spiro was the best plan of action for this. and it worked. But this hole time I was never told that these meds could Make it so I could get pregnant. 3 different doctors are all talking with each other and none of them thought to tell me this. Well I worked for me. 13 months after starting the meds I found out that I was pregnant. needless to say you could of knocked me over with a feather. 4 home pregnancy test and a trip to the doctors is what it took to convince my husband and me that it was true.LOL I had a bueatiful baby boy on july 4 this year. He was 3 1/2 week early because of my blood pressure starting to fluxuate. so the doctor did want to take any chances. Mother and baby are doing fabulous.

I am writing this for all you women out there that are so frustarted about the process. Learn all you can from where ever you can. And to let you know that it may take a while but never give up hope. Sometimes it just takes longer then we want, but it doesn't mean that it will never happen. Good luck to all. :P


sorry don't know how to put a pic in this.
