Thread: Never getting Pregnant...

I understand what you are going through. I'm not trying to get pregnant but my cycles are so weird that I started to look into it. I will be 22 at the end of the month and I was complaining about this since I was 19 years old. My doc finally sent me to get bloodwork done to see if was my thyroid. Bloodwork came back normal. She put me on the pill for three months to see if it was a hormone inbalance. Well if it takes sometime for the body to adjust after BCP wouldn't she get a false result when testing for hormones. I would think so. I've decided that I'm going to temp and use that as my birth control. When finding more information and recommendations I was speaking with nurse who thinks that it may be PCOS. She recommended a low-glycemic diet. I have been looking into that. I'm slightly overweight (have been losing weight slowly since January 2006). I'm also changing the negative things that were in my lifestyle in hopes that this will balance out my cycles. I've had unprotected sex with my CLH and we (as far as we know) have never been pregnant. It could just be not having enough sex, not having it at the right time or it could be a fertility problem. I don't want a baby right now but I do want to preserve my fertility. I know that this probably doesn't help you much but you are most definately not the only one with the same type of issues.

I understand exactly what you are going through as well. I also have PCOS and I am also prediabetic. I am married and we are currently trying to get pregnant. I have been getting treated for it for 1 year now and if there is one thing I have learned is everyone reacts to things differently. Also I have learned that jut because you have it doesnt mean that you are infertile. I am on different meds but the biggest thing the doctor has told me to do is watch your diet. I am overweight and have been trying to control that with different diets throughout the year but have recently learned that you majorly need to watch your carb intake. I have not lost any weight in over a year but since being on this diet for 2 months I have already lost 15 pounds. That is the best answer I can give you. I know it is not to comforting but that is all I have. Also if it helps I have heard a couple times throught this year that even you loss 5% of your body fat that ups your chances fertility by like 50%. Just keep that 5% in mind and keep that as your goal. I hope everything gets worked out for you.

Hey I am 24 and from Kentucky. My husband and I have been married for 4 years now and we have been trying from the get go to get pregnant. We have finally decided to get a little help from the doctor. Our 1st appointment is on the 26th of this month. I realize my weight is an issue with my fertility so we are dieting and have been dieting on and off for the past year. I just really need the support from people who know what we are going through. Sometimes I feel like its never going to happen but I don't EVER give up hope. Thanks for listening and thanks for being there.
