I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist They are generally more knowledgeable about PCOS and the correct treatment. Unfortunately, many doctors are not aware of the proper treatment.





The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going on an insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) combined with a low carb diet and exercise. There are a few important things to know:





1. Many women "pass" the test for IR, but still respond positively from the metformin. No one knows exactlly why..my thought is that the test is not a sure fire way of detecting the IR.





2. You must be on a high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though they've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are hesitant to up the dose past 1500mg...but for some of us it takes more. I don't respond until my dose is around 2000mg a day.





3. It can take a few months on the correct dose, before your body is regulated.





4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to get pregnant. There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks are lowered.








When the PCOS is treated properly, all of your symptoms may not disappear, but they should improve some. It will also be a lot easier to lose weight (and keep it off). Our bodies work against us when we try to lose weight on our own, making it nearly impossible to lose weight.





As for vitamin...stick with a multivitamin or prenatal vitamin (they sell these over-the-counter).





There are TONS of books about PCOS and dieting. There are two that I recommend. Here's the links at amazon for those:

I have read that p.o.d. can be hellish. Lots of kids need good homes. You may suffer badly if you get pregnant and carry.








Be well.

Reply:Be prepared to spend lots of money at a fertility clinic it will cost alot if you have problems that normal doc cant help but it will happen so its "how much are you willing to pay"





Also be ready to deal with mental issues, like i said it wont be easy.
Reply:IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI, ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is have become very common now. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.





My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.





Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.





Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices

Hope this helps.
Reply:I have PCOS also and just found out that I am 2 weeks pregnant, I know it sound s weird but what helped me was exercising and I went the the drugstore and got the Geritol liquid along with some folic acid vitamins and after taking it for several nights I finally ovulated. I also bought one of the ovulation predictor tests. I noticed you didn't state whether or not you were on Metformin or Glucophage for it, if not I would suggest for you to go see an Endocrinologist who will more than likely treat your PCOS with that!! Good Luck!!
