Hello all,
I have discovered that I have PCOS around two months ago. I stopped the pill in May and realised that I had no periods. Last appointment with the gynaecologist was around one month ago. She said I should wait 6 more months before I start a treatment to help me ovulate. This was in Scandinavia and I am now in the UK. I am 34 and I think it's starting to become urgent. Anyone can tell me how to proceed here to get help conceiving? I'm in South London.
Thanks!!

Hello I have PCOS and I did have a miracle baby with no medication but it did take me 3 years of trying to get pregnant. I am trying for baby number two on dietary supplements called Fertile-aid, if you have irregular cycles you should give this medicine a try, lots of woman have conceived taking this herb. Smile

Look into Inositol, it was a game changer for me. Hard to get dosage right though. I was on 2g a day when I conceived " naturally"

I had pcos when tcc with dd1. Had clomid, ovarian drilling, more clomid and eventually was lucky enough to fall pg.

Then went on to conceive ds naturally. After ds periods went off again. I was recommended Angus Cactus (Holland & Barratt) to regulate my hormones. Sure enough after a 10 week cycle first month on AC was 30 day cycle and 2nd month I was pg! I'm not saying it's a guarantee but it certainly worked for me.

The OP doesn't have irregular cycles, she has NO cycles. I second Atilla (who gave me good advice when I was going through treatment) - see your GP and ask for a referral to gynaecologist. Get on a waiting list.

Your home country might be much cheaper - in which case go there and see a specialist. I have a few polish friends who "save up" all their medical stuff for trips home, it's that much cheaper, so makes total sense. But see a medical professional by whichever means.

Also please don't put pressure on yourself to "do everything perfectly so at least you know it's not your fault". Having PCOS isn't you fault - it's as simple as that. We live in a world where crack addicts are able to have a baby a year. There is no rhyme or reason to fertility.... and yoga every day isn't a cure. Hippy types will push you down the woo route. This is just a very quick way to feel even more shit about yourself IME.

Disagree. Trying all of this stuff can be very hurtful, because it puts all the onus on the woman fixing herself, and if only she tried xyz as well as abc then she might have got pregnant, the idiot.

No one would be pressuring someone with pretty much any other illness to try to cure it themselves.

Amazing. I have done updates of conception scan confirmation. 6 months pregnant and when I gave birth. I mentioned it took me 8 years to fall pregnant. Used this stuff ONCE and I found out I was pregnant. And it would of tallied up with when we used ttcherbal on facebook: oduduwa ajakaye. C0040350D
