i too have PCOS and i hate that it controls my whole life. i've been married for almost 2 years, and we have been trying to get pregnant since we got married, and b/c of the PCOS. i take 500mg of metformin 2x daily and on day 5-9 of my cycle of take clomid. i was having to take provera to start my period, it is so discouraging! all i want to do is give my husband a family, and i feel i can't provide that for him.

this past month i took some time off trying to conceive to try and lose some weight, hoping that would help, thats when i started phen. i don't want to be on phen when i get pregnant, i don't know if there is any side effects when getting pregnant on phen, but i know i have a higher chance of miscarrage b/c of the PCOS and i don't want to add to that. i think a miscarrage would distroy me...and my husband.

well this month i got my period on my own, without the provera. this suprised me b/c i thought the phen would mess with my period. i have only lost 11 lbs so far, just about 5% of my weight. i don't know if i want to stop phen and try to conceive this month, or if i want to just ignore this new cycle and continue w/ the phen.

i hate how this just consumes my every thought and action. i have friends younger than me, who are getting pregnant left and right...if i have to hear "so when are you going to start a family" one more time, i think i'll scream.
