Answers:
I have PCOS, and am trying to conceive for almost 4 years now.. I'm on Gonal-F injections, I haven't been successful yet, but I know so many others that have been.
Every case is different though, sometimes just Clomid does the job..
One thing though, DO NOT go to a ob/gyn, I waisted 2 years there, just go straight to a RE (Reproductive Endocronogist) who does this on a regular basis. and know's what he/she's doing..
Best of luck to you. I know how you feel.

As a fellow PCOS patient myself,I can understand the struggles and challenges you are facing.I've been doing allot of research on PCOS and both mainstream medical and Alternative routes of treatment.Many doctors treat the symptoms of PCOS individually rather then addressing the cause of the problem.Many women with PCOS go into their doctors office and get blanket prescriptions for birth control pills,which does not help the majority of women because it does not correct the cause.

PCOS is caused when our bodies insulin receptors no longer function properly,these high insulin levels lead to inflammation and an increase in androgens and or testosterone,this leads to symptoms such as thinning hair,weight gain and irregular periods.

1.) PCOS is caused by high insulin levels,so following a diet
which will control and decrease these levels should be the first line of defense.Low carbohydrate diets and diets which restrict high glycemic foods are absolutely neccessary.

2.)Insulin lowering drugs such as Metformin or alternative herbs
or Chromium should be tried in order to further regulate insulin.

3.)PCOS patients have an increased risk of many illnesses so being monitored by a competent doctor is neccessary.

4.)Improved nutrition with the help of insulin lowering drugs are the first line of defense against PCOS.

5.) Weight stabilization through the use of exercise,nutrition and medicaln intervention.

educate yourself on PCOS ,browse the library,or visit amazon.com,and check out some books,browse the internet for support groups and more information.Soul cysters website has many resources and a support group for women with PCOS who are trying to concieve,there is allot of info there.

good luck and you are not alone
