Good luck girls... will update again in about 2 weeks....  | Jacky, it sounds like speed! I've just been reading about it and it says do not take at night as it will keep you awake! It does say on there also not suitable for people intending to become pregnant. How long has it taken you on these tablets so far?
I'm really looking forward to WW now! Update later x | | | | Status: Offline

| Does anyone sometimes feellike it's the weight thats the problem with getting pregnant rather than the pcos?
I was 15 and 13st 11 when my cycles went odd, and they recovered for a few monhs when I got under 12st. after i came off the pill I was 13.11 again, and cycles weird again. I was checked at this point and had no cysts or pcos hormone issues, yet I still couldnt get pregnant. The only time I got pregnant naturally I was 13.11 (this is a weight I get stuck at, with ups and downs) but m/c. I cant help but think if I weighed less it might happen and work. | | | | Status: Offline

| Dr told me no one was really sure if pcos caused weight gain or if being over weight brought on pcos (obviously not the case for many as there are loads of girls with pcos who don't have weight issues) but I def think there's more chance of a natural pregnancy if you lose weight if you're overweight (here's hoping anyway 'cause I'm determined to get pregnant before I get to the top of the IUI waiting list!!!!) | | | | Status: Offline

| Wow, so I am due to test today, but I wont even bother...okay this is a rant....I have not had any signs that AF was on her way, my boobs are fine, not swollen or painful....so what Im thinking is that I am gonna have another long cycle....Im gonna give it 10 days max, then will go on some primulat to induce AF...the life I lead is just not fun!!...and Im not making progress in weight loss...I had lost a pound about a week back...but then I had exams last week (Accountancy) and so i got stressed and started over eating...again.... | | | | Status: Offline

I'm really looking forward to WW now! Update later x | Hey claire it is not so bad... the first few days were intense... But im in my third week of taking the tabs and i feel fine... I take my tabs at 5:30am and at 7pm every night i have to exsercise or i won't be able to sleep.. But i drink my antidepressants at night before bed as well.. they are very strong so helps me for a good nights rest as well..
I will only be on the tabs for 3 months then 2 months clean and TTC again when i get to my ideal weight or when AF shows up naturally and O is confirmed then we will try TTc again.... | | | | Status: Offline

| I strongly believe my weight is causing me not to be able to Conceive....
I have no natural AF
No Ovulation
Hormones all over the show
So my conclusion is that before i got my  in Oct 2006, i weighed 193.6 pounds, but 2 months before that i was very stressed with the wedding arrangements and went from 202.4 down to 193.6 pounds wich is only 12 pounds but i got my ..
Now i weigh 224.4 pounds from 248.6 which is 24.2 pounds i have lost so far.. my aim is to get back to a regular weight of 171.6pounds so only another 52.8 pounds to go....
it is proven that weight can be one of the BIGGEST causes of Infertility, and with mine being UNEXPLAINED Infertility.. my only problem is im overweight!!!!!!!!!!!!  | | | | Status: Offline
