Hi Kristy,

You don't mention your age. Either way, once you have been trying for a baby after one year, or are over 33-35 yrs of age, for 6 months, you can go to a reproductive endocrinologist. They are specialists in reproductive problems.

Next, if you have been switching doctors, have you been calling first to check them out before you go to them? When I searched for a doc, I made lots of phone calls, was polite and persistant, but for the most part, I got answers to a list of 7 short questions I made up. That's how I knew I got the doc I wanted.

I'm also confused by why you are taking birth control if you are trying to get pregnant. Low carbing is great, but are you trying to exercise? Are you doing any BBT's? Charting?

The pills probably will give you a normal cycle, but may not be the normal cycle you are thinking of. Its hard to tell whether or not Adkins is helping if you are taking something to normalize your cycle.

As for what people say, ah well, people are like that. For me, I just shrug 'em off and keep on moving to find those that can.

Hello everybody. Your forums are great and have been a great source of strength for me. Maybe you all can help me with this. My husband and I have been trying to concieve for 3 years and have had no luck. I have switched numerous doctors after being diagnosed with PCOS and have yet to find an OB/GYN that is willing to be of any help. The most help my current GYN has given me, is to put me back on birth control pills, which I am not happy about in the least bit. I have been trying to find ways to 'cure' myself and have recently started the low carb Atkin's diet and feel wonderful, tho I am still taking birth control, I can't help but wonder whether my body's natural cycle is trying to kick back in, after having no periods for sooo long. I am constantly having symptoms of PMS all month long instead of the week before my periods like I used to....I am really just looking for help and answers and am thinking of going back off the pill after this pack is through. What are the chances that the pills have helped me, and will at least give me on enormal cycle? Or will the Atkin's diet help to straighten me out?? Please help me. The frustration is unbearable, and all I want is to start a family and quit having people tell me 'No. you can't' because I KNOW I can!!
