We tried to get pregnant for over 2 years. I was almost 90 lbs overweight- worked out hard- tried to lose weight with minimal results. Clomid didn’t work for me- no effect whatsoever. Really high levels of Progesterone shots did work- but it took 4 cycles. The thing is- if it hadn’t worked, my doctor warned that we wouldn’t be good IVF candidates either. My body just wasn’t growing or releasing eggs. It did work, I had a very healthy pregnancy and a very healthy son. Now a few months after I’ve stopped breast feeding my body seems like it might reset itself and I’ve started to lose a little more weight with just watching my diet. That makes me hopeful and I’m now stepping up my weight loss efforts. Good luck! Have hope! It’s just a matter of chemistry and finding the right combo that works for you.

Hi, My name is Nicole. I have been trying to have a baby for the past 4 years and I soo want one. I watch my sisters having them and I cant. I have not gotten checked out for PCOS but I know two of my cousins have it and I have some symtoms of having this and its in my blood too so I was hopeing I can get pregnant. Please help!
I tried the whole clomid and metformin thing for quite awhile, and it didn’t work. I was also very overweight. So, when my ex-husband and I separated…I lost about 50 to 60 pounds. I started dating my current fiance in sept ‘03, and found out that we were pregnant Christmas morning ‘03. Talk about a whirlwind…our daughter was almost a month old by the time our first anniversary rolled around.
I’m sure you know all about that insulin resistence thing. Jessa was almost 9 pounds at birth, and required a c-section. So, the trouble with me is that since she was my first successful birth, I gained all of my weight back. I know that if we want to try and have a son…..I’m gonna have to drop again. I dunno if any of this helps, but don’t give up hope!!!
