I got preg. in 1996 and then miscarriage, then in 1997 with Clomid.. No luck again miscarriage.. That was even with artificial insemination O.K. good news now: Clomid wasn't doing nothing for me to get me preg. or with my PCO.. Yeah, they do say weight does have a little to do with it because of your sugar levels.. My Dr. told me that too.. Yadda, yadda, yadda huh? Then I even went on shots that put you through menopause (that was the worst time of my life) Then I also have had two lapos and found Endo. That was my problem on top of PCO with the miscarriages.. I also took Metformin and guess what? I have two girls and of course I prayed if it was Gods will for me to have a child.. Now, my first child was after my first lapo and my second little girl was after Met. I now see why God made me go through all the trials (all my friends were preg. but me at the time) I also have been going to Weight Watchers since Jan. 25 and have losted 32 lbs. Even with Pco and all.. Good luck and let me know.
