(I'm 35.) We have male infertility factors, as well, so when we tried to get pregnant 11 years ago, the docs told us it was unlikely due to my husband's sperm count. My irregular cycles were a problem, but not the problem. Anyway, we decided then to skip all the expensive infertility treatment and go straight to adoption. We used a private agency and adopted twin boys who were 7 months old. It cost $15,000, money well-spent in my opinion. I'd do it that way again. Then about four years ago, I decided to see how many consecutive days I could exercise. I managed to exercise an entire year without missing a day--unwittingly treating my undiagnosed PCOS with exercise! I lost weight and sizes and then, surprise of all, ended up pregnant! My miracle baby is now 2 1/2. Of course, since he was born and I quit breastfeeding a year ago, I've had an escalation of my PCOS symptoms, thus my quest for a diagnosis. Now I'm trying to get up the energy to exercise every day again and to quit refined sugar and flour. (My doc said my blood levels weren't "bad" enough to warrant met.) Anyway, that's my story. Best wishes to all of you in quest of babies! Melodee
