What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
Hope this helps you:
Introduction
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition most often characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth and obesity, but it can affect women in a variety of ways. Irregular or heavy periods may signal the condition in adolescence, or polycystic ovary syndrome may become apparent later when a woman has difficulty becoming pregnant.
The signs and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome stem from a disruption in the reproductive cycle, which normally culminates each month with the release of an egg from an ovary (ovulation). The name polycystic ovary syndrome comes from the appearance of the ovaries in some women with the disorder — large and studded with numerous cysts (polycystic). These cysts are follicles, fluid-filled sacs that contain immature eggs.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age in the United States, affecting an estimated 5 percent to 10 percent. Early diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome can help reduce the risk of long-term complications, which include diabetes and heart disease.

Reply:you can have cysts removed surgically or with a scope if that is not an option with pcos or your cysts reoccur to often try fertility drugs.
if your doctor is not helping try a second opinion

Reply:You can try in-vitro fertilization. Just because your ovaries aren't passing eggs into the fallopian tubes like they're supposed to doesn't mean you can't produce any. In IVF, they draw eggs from you and sperm from your husband and conceive outside the body. Then they plant the fertilized ovum into your uterus. You'll take fertility drugs for awhile to make sure it takes hold, but if your healthy in the rest of your womanhood there shouldn't be a problem.
The only drawbacks to this procedure is it could be pricey, and the possibility of mulitiple births run higher than natural pregnancies. But hey, it's an instant family right? I'd love to get it done all at once. =)
Good luck to you. We've been trying for 5 years too. But, my situation is a bit more serious and not looking good. I do know how frustrated you feel.
Reply:My sister has had PCOS for years. She wouldn't get her period until she lost weight. I don't know if you have a weight problem, but if you do it would help to get some off, even a little. It's very difficult for PCOS sufferers to do this, but I can attest to it helping my sister a lot. There are many of sites on the web to help.

Will being on my period effect my ovary ultrasound?
I've been sent an appointment date for an ultrasound scan on my ovaries but it will be during my period. Will this effect the results or them being able to do it? Especially if they need to perform an internal scan. (But I'm not sure if they'll need to yet.) I really don't want them to have to rescheldule it at the last minute, I've waited for ages as it is.
Thanks.
Will being on my period effect my ovary ultrasound?
It is necessary to get an ulterasound done during period to assess the function of ovaries. Other wise there is no meaning of doing ultrasound in ur case. okey. Best of luck. All will b alright.
Reply:No, you can get your ultra sound done.
Thanks.

Polycystic ovary syndrome? How did you feel when you heard?
I just got back from my first gyno visit, and she told me that it is very likely I have polycystic ovary syndrome. She made it seem quite simple and easy to handle. But when I got home I started looking it up on the internet, and now I am getting worried and sad about it. She put me on Loestrin 24. I hear that this is a fairly common condition, and I wanted to ask if there are any of you with it, and how did you feel when you were told? Is it something that you will have for the rest of your life (well, the rest of your menstruating life, at least?)
I feel bummed. I'm getting married in a few months and was looking forward to starting a family with this wonderful man in a year or two.
Thanks ladies!
Polycystic ovary syndrome? How did you feel when you heard?
I bawled inthe middle of the Dr. office. I had a wonderful dr and she hugged me and was very reassuring.
It you do have PCOS, you will have it the rest of your "mentrual life" For many people, it is very easy to achieve pregnancy with a few simple drugs. However, I don't want to scare you, but I am finding out on my own there is no guarantee.
People have varying degrees of subfertility. Some can get pregnant just with taking Metformin and others go through several failed IVF rounds.
Hopefully you will be like me and have a wonderfully understanding husband who deals with it with you. When you get ready to have kids, you might be able to right away. You should be sure to have conversations with you hubby though about what you will do if you can not. It is always great to be optimistic, but it will get frustrating if everyone keeps saying it will happen when the time is right and it doesn't.
When you time comes for the great baby voyage :) just stay relaxed and calm and keep in mind there are many options for you if it prooves to be more difficult for you than others.
Reply:Hey Joanie B,
You will be fine. Once your period is regulated,you should be able to have kids. You just might need a little extra help with that. Also,remember to try and keep a healthy weight,as being overweight does not help at all.
When I was told,I was a little sad,but also glad,because I finally knew what was wrong with me(I had gone to 3 different doctors).
Yes, this is something that you will have for the rest of your life,but it is very treatable. Keep doing what you are told by your doctor,and you will be fine.
Good luck to you on your marriage,and everything else.
Reply:It's alot better than many other conditions, stop looking to the internet you'll send yourself crazy. Birth Control pills will regulate your cycle as well as cut down on ovarian cysts. Glucophage is a diabetes medicine used to treat PCOS. Many have gotten pregnant, lost weight, cleared their skin and well as had more energy on Glucophage. A diet low in refined sugars/carbs and animal fats really helps, as well as exercise.

Can u still get pregnant after having your tubes tide and having 1 ovary removed and your unterous removed?
I think I might be having a tubular pregnency. I still have a ovary left. But lately I have been feeling very pregnant. I had gotten the flu a few weeks ago really bad and could not eat or drink for a week ( with all my other pregnencies I got sick just like that). I've been eating a lot food and seem to not get enough. Crazy dreams. Constantly having to go to the bathroom and having cramps and spotting.
Can u still get pregnant after having your tubes tide and having 1 ovary removed and your unterous removed?
I think if you're having a tubal pregnancy then it's a miracle with all you've done to prevent it, but also there should be some serious pain as well. If you're not feeling well, go see your doctor, or at least call them and ask some questions.
Reply:Got to a doctor NOW It might be ectopic and failure to seek treatment will result in death
Reply:Well, the chances that you would get a tubal pregnancy are like around that of being struck by lightning. That being said, if you don't feel right, you should visit your doctor.
Reply:you can get pregnant if you have your tubs tied they could have gone back together take a pregnancy test right away to make it known if you are indeed pregnant
Reply:Yes, it is possible for you to have an ectopic pregnancy if you still have one functioning ovary and one fallopian tube. Sometimes, tubals just don't take, especially if they have been tied versus a tubal ligation.
Ectopic pregnancies are incredibly dangerous and potentially life threatening. If you truly suspect that you may have an ectopic pregnancy, get to the doctor ASAP.
Reply:it's possible but not probable to get pregnant after a tubal. there are other possibilities so you might want to consider seeing your doctor. is it possible you are diabetic? (always hungry, peeing all the time)

Natural Herbal Remedy for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
My teenage daughter has just been diagnosed with it. I don't want to put her on hormone replacement therapy to bring on her periods (which occur about twice per year). We have extensive breast cancer in the family, and hormone therapy is frightening. Does anyone know of any natural remedies that are safe? Thank you.

Ludlam praises this remedy in the sub-acute form of gonorrhoeal ovaritis; it allays the pain and averts the menstrual derangement. Ovaritis after a blow.

Does the removal of a fallopian tube usually include the removal of the ovary?
I was having a conversation with someone today that said she had her right fallopian tube removed but I didn't want to ask her or sound rude.
Does the removal of a fallopian tube usually include the removal of the ovary?
No usually its just the tube they take, or they might have tied it depending on the situation. The ovaries have a lot to do with your horomone cycles and doctors always try to not mess with the ovaries if at all possible.
Reply:Not that I've ever heard...I think you get to keep the ovaries. Are you talking about having tubes tied? Getting a tube removed is sometimes an extreme measure for a tubal ligation that has failed.
Reply:You keep your ovaries.
You need your ovaries for proper hormone balance so docs fight to keep them in.
In a case where a whole tube was removed it was probably an ectopic pregnancy where the egg was fertilized and attached inside the tube. The tube then would have been damage beyond saving and so had to be removed... Not all ectopic ruin tubes but some do.
Or she was mistaken and she only had part removed so as to permanently end the chance of pregnancy.
