I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and have been researching that pregnant women with PCOS have a higher rate of miscarrage. Does this rate of risk decrease if you are taking clomid or have ovarian drilling?
Metformin is a drug to treat insulin resistance which can lead to diabetes. That, along with the "enlarged ovary" makes it sound like you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome." A strand of pearls pattern of cysts on the ovaries is one of the classic symptoms of this metabolic disorder.
If you are overweight, I've read that losing some weight can normalize the menstrual cycle as well as restore insulin resistance.

I got operated on 2 years ago on Feb 2008 due to Polycystic Ovaries. My right ovary was removed since it became almost as big as an ostrich egg. I have one ovary left. Here I am two years after.. i found out that my left ovary has cysts again, so I am under medication. Taking pills DIANNE, so I am gaining a lot of weight it is really depressing. so my worries are;
1. Is there anything I can do to stop my weight gain?
and
2. (THE REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION) Will I still have babies? I am young.
this is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome right? I had that and my son is now five years old. My doctor gave me metformin.. I know weird.. but I think it contributed to me getting pregnant aside from all the tests I did. also took three rounds of clomid.
HOpe that helps.
Pcos are Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant.
I am 32 and was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I'm terrified I will never have children. Unfortunately I am allergic to Medformin, which could help. Just hoping to hear some PCOS success stories!
My wife is facing irregular periods for last 4 months,, periods delayed by 1 month, so we visited gynaco.. we observed that she is having PCO(polycystic ovary ) in ultrasound..
Doctors told us that such patient takes time to prepare eggs. my wife is quite worried, Is it possible to get pregnent for her. she is 24 yrs old and no any kind of medical history she is facing.
Ovaries are not painful with polycystic ovary syndrome, and so one cannot attibute your discomfort to polycystic ovary syndrome.
Doctor discussed this with my husband(who is a doctor as well) was present at the time of the operation. She removed my ovary and sent for histopath. Later it was found that it was a benign cystic teratoma, on opening, the cyst thick sebaceous material with tuff of hair was seen. My concern are:
1. Will i get pregnant easily for my second child?
2. Is my other ovary in danger of getting a cyst as well? So for that reason its safer that I should get pregnant right away?

For women in the reproductive age range, polycystic ovary syndrome is a serious, common cause of infertility, because of the endocrine abnormalities which accompany elevated insulin levels.
This can be perfectly normal - I know lots of people with it. I know one who has this and have been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and is being treated with Metformin - same as used for Type 2 diabetes. She has lost weight and the darkness around her neck and underarms has faded.
Have you seen anyone about it? If not, make an appointment with your Health Care Provider and have this checked.
Metformin may lower the risk of miscarriage or gestational diabetes in women with PCOS, but this has not yet been confirmed by research. Metformin is probably safe to take while you are pregnant. But because metformin is only FDA-approved for the treatment of diabetes, you should talk with your doctor about the use of this medicine for reducing your risk for miscarriage or treating PCOS symptoms.
