Hi Theresa!

Been there, done that. I know what you're going through. There is definately hope. Research shows that women with PCOS who take a combination of Metformin and Clomid have a much higher rate of ovulation than women who take Clomid alone. So, yes pregnancy is possible.

It did not work for me, though. I was on Clomid many, many times and I did not ovulate. I was able to create mature eggs though while using injectable Fertinex during an artificial insemination. I did not get pregnant and my husband and I have taken a break from the whole process for now. But it is exciting for me to know that I CAN create mature eggs with just a little prodding!

I know what it's like to have everyone around you be pregnant! I belong to a very small church which is made up mostly of many couples my age (27) or slightly younger. We all got married about the same time and now, of course, everyone's having babies at the same time. I swear, in one year we must have had eight babies born! That's quite a few since we only have about 60 people on any given Sunday. Now everyone's had at least one and they're pregnant with their second or even third. It's very difficult to go to all of these showers and to have the pregnancies announced at church on Sundays. It's gotten easier as time has gone by as I come to a greater and greater acceptance of what's going on in my body right now but it never completely goes away. I don't have an answer for you on this issue since I am still dealing with it myself. I just pray for a healing and wisdom as to what to do with our situation. We want to make a good decision. I will pray the same for you.

So, hang in there, Theresa and know that you are definately not the only one going through all of this and that there is ALWAYS hope!! If you sense that this is right, don't give up! God bless! Tera
