I have been diagnosed with PCOS for around 8 yrs. I have all the symtoms. But I have been blessed with regular periods and the ability to ovulate.
After numerous miscarriages and an eptopic pregnancy I conceived my daughter naturally. I had just been prescribed metformin but luckily hadnt taken any. My daughter is now 4 months and I am considering my options. Should I start hormonal contraceptive or not. Its a catch 22 situation. If in the future I want to try for another child then I will need to deal with all the symtoms coming back again and I remember the first time I came off the pill and I didnt know what was happening to me. But I do need to use contraception and I do need something for my skin and hair growth.
I have started to take the metformin today so I am thinking I should see if it helps and then consider an IUD. Any thoughts?

My partner wants me to fo vet checked because of trying to vet prego no luck..keep in mind i knew something was very wrong about the time i turned 17… I had started my cycle at 14yrs…and maybe had 4 periods from the time i was 14-17 doctors said it will all work it self out im young….so i just brushed it off … Well a few months later i got pregnant not intentionally by a really good friend of mine … And we decided to have the baby remain friends and raise the baby apart. Worked out great well then i was put on BC after giving birth and it stopped my periods for 3 years well now my daughter is six i have been with my parnter for 3 years we do not want to marry not because we dont love each other it just we agreed we dont want to…. And now we are trying to have a baby he is 37 i am 25 and i have PCOS i was just told this 03/2015 … It devastated me And him…. And now im not sure what we can do because in texas you have to be married to get fertility help…. We dont want to get married, nor do i feel its right to force us to do so if we want a baby….we both can afford the baby we both want a baby ….i don’t understand….its so depressing along with all the other symptoms like facial hair growth weight gain And everything else that comes with it. I’m so lost i could use advice kind words anythingggg…. Sorry for all the awful grammer new phone trying to figure out this keyboard.
