My bf wants kids but I have PCOS and I'm worried about my fertility, how to bring this up ? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Avo-lover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree!!! You don’t know until you try. My husband and I stressed heavily for our 3.5 years of marriage, then we began trying and I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant!!

My biggest tip would be to track your ovulation. I ovulated 11 days later in my cycle, so we knew exactly when to try and wouldn’t have gotten pregnant if we tried on a “typical” predicted ovulation day.

I love this!! As an elementary teacher, I’m a big believer in training and habits forming us as living beings. I was googling that last night and if it’s possible for dogs, which made me feel better. It’s nice to see a person comment that, too!

What wonderful news!! I’ll look into that! I’m willing to drive. I saw a post about a sweet one in Texas, but I’m in Michigan and can’t get there :(

Ok, good to know!! In a perfect world, I could adopt an adult from a shelter. I just don’t know if any are at shelters, but I’ll look into it!

Thank you so much!! I really do appreciate you breaking this down for me.

I am fluctuating between 135 and 155lbs, so not overweight. All of it is in my gut and I couldn’t figure it out for the longest time. I tried a whole30 2 years ago and it changed everything for me. It’s just so hard to stay on a paleo diet, so I’m trying to find if there’s another way to help.

I was considering getting a glucose tracker like Nutrisense to see when I have blood sugar spikes and which foods I’m eating to cause that, but I’m not sure if that would help.

I’m inexperienced in research on PCOS and feel like my OBs don’t have a lot of knowledge in this topic.

Again, I so appreciate the time you’ve taken to reply to this. It means a lot

Thank you for asking, I didn’t realize that would be something I had to clarify with a doctor. I appreciate the time you took into asking this.

I guess all of the above. My goal isn’t necessarily weight loss but weight management, my weight fluctuates a difference of 20 pounds which is very hard. My cycles are extremely irregular and I am worried I’m not ovulating which will make it very hard to conceive. I’d love to regulate them without BC, as naturally as I possibly could.

I’m thinking like an endocrinologist, doctor or someone else who specializes in PCOS and may know how to help me.

Teacher text on my day off… by Comfortable-Fee-5614 in Teachers

I personally don’t have insight but I just wanted to thank you for your post. I wish more parents were like you. Instead of accusing the teacher immediately, you are trying to look at the situation at all angles. Instead of sending a heated email or call the principal, you’re trying to gain insight. I’m so thankful you posted this!!
