polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Trying for baby.?

i was just informated by my primary care practictioner that i have polycystic ovarian syndrome as metabolic syndrome. Me and my husband are trying for a child. I was told that having these conditions, will greatly decrease my chances of having a child. Is there anything the doctor can do to help me with this problem. She had put me on BC pills to help these conditions but it didnt work, and considering wanting a child i disconitued taking them. She has yet to guve me further treatment, she said she was considering somthing but first she wants to preform several blood tests. I havent spoken with her about wanting a baby yet though. Shes my family's doctor. I am affraid she will try to discourage me becuase me and my husband are a younger couple. She always knows my mother would be dissapointed in me. I dont want anything slipping up to my mother either. I want to tell her myself. We have discussed it (myhusband and i) we both really prepared and want this alot. What do you suggest?

Answers:
Switch doctors to one you feel comfortable talking to.

Metformin ( my spelling) is a drug that really seems to help. Talk to you doctor about it. Also going on a GI diet should make a difference. You and your husband can get vitamin supplements that are dedicated to your needs. You have yo have blood tests done first though.
And remember that any problems with your body are your to own . Not your families or your friends. If you cannot look to them for support then tell them that this all personal to you and you won't discuss it full stop.
Take heart and join a chat room for women who have your problem. Someone very dear to me has been through what you are just approaching and I think that the chat room kept her sane!
I hope you go on to have a wonderful baby.

Metformin will probably help. I have the same condition, had a misscarriage followed by 18 months of trying with no luck. I took Metformin for 4 months and concieved- he is now 2! It also reduced the PCOS riskl of miscarriage (1:10 is you hav ethis condition) down to 1:2 and is safe in pregnancy. Good luck
