[worldwidetravel2017]

Hi all

Looking for positive stories re having a child when you have pcos
& are over 35..

Thank you

Bump

My sister got pregnant at 37 with her first and she has PCOS. She's got a gorgeous girl now. She used Pregnacare Conception as did her DH

Thanks so much

Im on pregncare conception

My OH is on wellman max as thats what fertility clinic said for him and his july SA sample was all good

Thanks so much for sharing

Its a hard time / thing having pcos and we have miscarriage history
Although i hold onto hope
As miscarriage was before i was on metformin and myo inostol for pcos.
And pregncare conception

I had two babies after 35 yrs old with PCOS. One at 36, 2nd at 38yrs. Only happened when I lost weight, which was ridiculously hard but got there eventually. If you are carrying weight, thats my biggest recommenfation, work really hard to lose it.

Thanks so much
Ive lost half a stone

Im on low gi foods.
Reduced carbs.

Heaps of fruit and veg

PCOS sufferer here. I'm literally about to have my 3rd baby any day, I'm 41! All conceived naturally, 1st at 34, 2nd and 36. I did have a miscarriage before the 1st and 3 miscarriages before this one though. I've only ever taken herbal supplements-agnus castus I found to be great and I cut out dairy, lowered carb intake and for this last baby I was swimming 50 lengths 3 times a week so I was pretty healthy (although I was still enjoying wine of an evening)

Congrats and thank you

Having pcos can often feel lonely as i don't know many others with it

Thanks so much for sharing your story and sorry to hear of your losses

Dya have low progsterone due to pcos?

My fertility clinic have said i can have vaginal progsterone as soon as i I next get a pos test ( i have low progsterone)

I was diagnosed with PCOS nearly 15 years ago.

DD1 - conceived when i was 34 after 2 years, 2000mg metormin and 3 x cycles of letrozole.

DD2 - natural conception when I was 37. 2000mg metformin, plus I did the fast 800 diet and lost 12kg.

DH and I both also took the wellwoman / wellman pre conception vitamins, plus I took some extra vit D.

I wasn't tested for low progesterone but my GP thought I probably did and I actually had the suppositories in the pregnancy I lost. This one I didn't try as figured they hadn't worked before. Definitely worth trying though. Hope all goes well x

I have/had PCOS but conceived naturally at 37 after a big weight loss.

Thanks all , i really appreciate the replies

Yes l was 35 with PCOS and was pregnant with my second and only one ovary..( had miscarriage and ectopic before this). I also had Endometriosis and was told I'd 5% chance of getting pregnant.
My youngest was 9.. so took me about 7 years.
She certainly was my miracle.
She's 31 now.
Also has PCOS .. one son age 10.
Good luck.
Sending you much love.

Metformin did the trick for me - after 6 years of trying, DS conceived when I was 33 in 4th month on Metformin, DD conceived in first month on it when I was 35

sending positive vibes your way

Thank you so much and so sorry to hear of your losses too - we know that pain

Thanks heaps

Ive actually emailed clinic asking how do we know metformin dose is ' right ' dose

Might sound silly
But im curious

I have ibs - diagnosed by a gastro consultant ( ive had colonoscopies )

Slow release metformin due to the IBS but yeah
