I hope this story helps someone its gonna be long but it is true it worked for me and maybe i can help someone else who is ttc with no luck who has pcos.When i was 14 i started having periods i was normal weight but noticed i didnt have periods every month and when i dd they wer always different times andveryheavy.we fig it was my body it would eventually straighten out since i was just having periods first time in my life..i got pregnant when i was 15(yea i know)got married everything was fine i gained 60 pounds in pregnacy..i had a boy.well i ost 30 out of the 60 well i went a year no period..went to doctor hetold me to lose weigh i thought he was nuts cause i knew alot of women heavier than me having periods and i was stubborn and didnt listen..well i lost 20 pounds later on because i wanted to not cause hetold me to well i got pregnant again had a girl..after i had her iwent up to 200 pounds no periods didnt have one for 2 years..i wasnt wanting anymore kids so i thought so i didnt care..well me and first husband divorced i got remarried..we decided to try and have a child iwas about 150 then and was having heavy periods again due to loosing weight but nothing no pregnancy..finally went to doctor after several test theytell me i have pcos i was 25 then.at the time they really didnt know much about it and what caused it told me be glad i had my kids when i did because i probably wouldnt get pregnant again.i went to another doctor and he put me on metoformin said it was helping women with pcos get pregnant and having normal every month a period..at the time it was a expermital drugand myinsurance didnt pay for that so i had to pay out of pocket it was expensive at that time.well we tried that for 3 years nothing..well i finallygot tired of trying and buying preg test after preg test and ovulation test and rying everytime i got a negative result..i decided to give up it was consuming my life my husbands life i was so depressed i couldnt even look at a pregnant women..so it was about 7 years of all this trying and pills etc..so i said no more and i decided to focous on my weight and just loose weight so i would look and feel better so i went on atkins which is a non carb diet and i ook all my energy i had in ttc intodieting..well in 6 months i lost 60 pounds and i looked wonderful..i didnt think about babies no more and was happy so i thought..istarted taking the metoformin again to help with my periods i thoght i had to not knowing that te weight i had lost is what causd me to have periods again..any ways for the first time in my life i was having a period every 28 days like clock work..well i got pregnant..i remember almost passing out i thought i had a bladder infection..but nope i was pregnant i remember telling the doctors i cant get pregnant thats not my test you made a mistake andthe were like nope its you..well as soon as it sunk i i was floating on air so happy..the doctor told me to stop taking the metoformin cause he didnt know what it would do to the baby so i did..well i started cramping a week into the pregnancy and it kept gettin worse went to doctor said my progestrone levels were not high like they should be so thygave me pregestrone to take didnt help mylevels were not getting much higer he uped my mg but i ended up having a mc i was 7 weeks pregnant.u talk about depression.and it was a week before christmas i never cried so much i couldnt believe god would do this to me.like wat kind o sick joke was this..why even let me get pregnant..so since i wasnt far enough along i didnt need a d and c..he told me to have a normal period and i could try again..of course i didnt even want to hear that.he looks at me and says you could never even get pregnant before at least now you know you can..he goes im going to put you on femara 5mg..hetold me what it was used for and i was like why would you give me something you give to women with breast cancer i dont get it..he said estrogen is stored in fat and the more fat you have the more estrogen you produce..too much estrogen will cause you not to ovulate.this pill lowers estrogen and will make you ovulate..so im like okay and i go home and of course im n tears not knowing if i even want to go through all the heartahe again..i told god tat you said you would never put more on somebody they coldnt handle andi cried and said god i cant handle this..well i tried the femara first month and i was pregnant..i was shocked.your talking about a women who tried everything even clomid nothin tried for 7 years nothing and now pregnantagain within a month after having mc..i have a healthy 5 year old son now and the wild thing is that i had my mc dec 17th and the following dec the 8th he was born he wa due the 17 i had to have him a little early cause of blood pressure but i thought that was wild..i may of been so unhappy that christmas ofmy mc but god gave me a baby the next one...all i know is with pcos weightis a issue loosing weight helps so much and femara is a miracle drug i would suggest that to any women..to all of you ttc i know your heartache i know your pain..i feel for each and every one of you..dont give up jus thave faith and pray..try anything and everything even if it sounds stupid cause it could work.i send baby dust and love to you all god bless
