    I find out just know that i have pcos and same of majority before me, my husband wanted the divorce because he wants kids and there is this problem on me. so imagine how i feel after the person i loved told me that in the moment when i need him the most. Its terrible, i know. it seems cruel but i decide to continue with my life and correct everything that has to be change, my health, my routine, everything and restart again without him.

      She is just expressing how she feels and that's not being ignorant learn to form an opinion. I don't want to be a mom at 39 either!

      Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it.. It's just a preference or choice people decide...

    I really and truly understand what you are going throught. I was 20 whne i was diagnosed with PCOS and that was the worst day I could ever imagine. Being told that u may never be able to conceive kids is the wost news that any girl/woman could be told. I have always wanted a family. and I just dont know how to go about getting help for it. I understand that adoption is a option but I desperatley want to have a child of my own.

    i understand this, i was engaged and my now ex and i were trying for a baby, we tried for 3 years n nothing would happen, i live in a rural area so not many doctors are around, it took 8 doctors to tell me it was all in my head n then the last (9th) doctor sent me for lots of blood tests and finally an ultrasound and internal, at first they thought it was cancer but later found that i have multiple cysts on both ovaries, my ex started to cheat on me and became abusive every time we would spend any time with anyone with kids. i ended it and started to date a friend of 10 years. he has 4 kids of his own, he knows all about the PCOS but it is so hard for me to see him with his kids n to lisen wen he talks about them, i normally end up curled up in bed crying. its so hard to watch all this, considering i am only 21, and my own mother just had a kid 6 months ago n my fathers wife is pregnant again, i just dont understand why me?



    i cry all the time, i have lost alot of weight, i have all the excessive hair growth so am waxing...a lot...

    i know that i am still young but if u ever want to talk u can email me

    I am a 34 year old single woman. I was diagnosed with PCOS in Decmber of 2008. In December of 2010 I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I have never been married. I will never be able to have children of my own. I feel like I have been robbed of being a woman.

    Don't blame yourself for all of this, you did not even do anything wrong to have this disease. Your ex husband left you because you cant have a child, he never loves you that much.

    How about adopting a child? I know it is not your own flesh and blood, but a family is more than just sharing same blood.

    Good luck and God bless you. I hope you got the right man now.

    fortunately, my wife and I are BLESSED with A LOVELY SON!!!! But we want another baby and we are at the end of our biological clocks i.e. above 44 years! We are both doctors and fear that we might get a child who is deformed. WE HAVE AFREED THAT WE ADOPT and after all the joy of LAVISHING a child with love is PARENTHOOD! I am looking forward to adoption even though it will prove diificult at my age!

    It's a sad pity that men are so selfish and cold. In life everything happens for a reason we have to try to change the things we can and accept those that we cannot and ask God to guide us to be able to know the difference between the two. There is an interesting book called Frontiers of Health by Christian Page. Whatever you do start loving yourself and accept your condition. You will find a breakthrough when the time is right. Write letters of forgiveness and a letter about how your ex made you feel, you do not need to give him the letters just so you can release it from your slate and find closer so as to move forward without all that excess baggage which you don't need. Have you concidered adoption as this may take the pressure of your wanting to fall pregnant and it is possible to fall pregnant. I have heard of incidents where couples could not hav kids and after adopting they eventually had kids of their own. I wish you Good heath and lots of spiritual healing.

    Check out a HCG diet program. It is approved for the treatment of PCOS and it can help you lose weight, balance your hormones and it's beneficial for men and women. You have to pay for it out of your own pocket but trust me you won't regret it. Listen to your body... you know it better than you think.

    I knw my ex husband was not a good man. Lol i learned a valuable lesson. I should have listened to my mom..Im glad i did not have kids by him. My mother says that God looks out for babys n fools and im not baby lol.... I know im young but you know how ppl have something that they are really afriad of like spiders or clowns or something. Well me, Im afraid that i wont be able to have kids. I am going to school to become a pediatrician i absolutely love kids. My husband is in this with me and he knows everything thats going on and when i feel like i wanna just break down and cry he is there to tell me its ok. Even tho hes in Afghanistan he is still there to pick me up when i get down about this. I hate watching movies that have to do with someone being pregnant or somthing like that cuz all i can think of is how much i want a family. I wish u luck and baby dust lunaC.

    Sweetie, you are only 20, already on your 2nd marriage and worried about not being able to conceive the rest of your life? It's a little soon to start panicking in my opinion. I am 33 and my husband and I have been trying for 5 years to get pregnant and so far nothing. I have friends who get knocked up using condoms and IUD, one girl I know has PCOS and has 2 kids and she's not even 30. I've had doctors look and blood samples taken and nothing has been an issue. That's what's really frustrating. Not having a reason for not getting pregnant. Especially when you see your friends and family and self-obsessed pop stars get pregant without even trying.

    So just relax a little bit and it will come if it was meant too. You are still so young and have time to plan, conceive or adopt when the time is right.

    Also, your 1st husband is a jack *** for cheating when you are going thru PCOS and all the mental crap that comes with it. He's a selfish bastard and you don't deserve to feel like it's all your fault.

    A man who got two different women pregnant is not husband material, and having a child wouldn't have fixed him. Put the blame where it belongs. Yes, being healthy would be nice, and yes, having a beautiful baby and a loving family would be nice, but that wasn't in the cards with him.

    Move on, find a man who will adopt with you.

    Hang in there.

    @mariadelyon..Im 20 years old n i doubt anyone would give me a child now. lol.. i want a family now but if later on in life i still dont have my own child then adoption is a option. but from what i heard its a long and emotional process.. @selinakyle6625...First off.. sorry for ur lost.. I cant say i understand how you feel becasue ive never lost a child but i will say that u are a strong woman to be able to go on. My ex husband was also very abusive so i can say i understand that to the fulliest degree and im glad u got out of that safely.. I did order that book you mentioned on Amazon today.. Thanks for letting me know

    Oh honey, I know how hard it is, believe me.

    I have never been able to get pregnant.

    I have two beautiful girls though.

    I adopted twin girls from India when they were four.

    I love them to pieces and my hubby and I feel as though we made the best choice in the world when we brought home our girls.

    There are so many children brought into the world when no one wants or needs them, so why don't you look into adoption or fostering?

    But yes, it is the world's best feeling adopting a child, it really is.

    I know exactly how you feel. My daughter died when she was born and I could not conceive another child for the rest of the time my ex and I were married. He wanted more and I couldn't give it to him. In turn he began to resent me and became abusive. It's been years now and I am remarried to an amazing man who understands that I may never conceive another child, but he loves me anyways. However all my past left HUGE issues to deal with, but with friends and the book Life's Healing Choices: Freedom for Your Hurts, Hang-ups and Habits did wonders for me spiritualy! My advice: Read this book, work on yourself and learn you are perfect the way you are.

    Greetings,

    Everyone gives such wonderful comments. However, they are all disease- management related. I would like to ask a different question that is indirectly related.

    So many children need love, home and a future to look forward to... Why not adopt?

    Best wishes,

    Maria

    It is my understanding that some women have managed to control their PCOS by diet. Now I'm not saying to stop any medication that has been administered to you, but please check Amazon.com on books advising to change your diet and youtube.com on videos that would give you an idea. You might have to reduce intake of processed sugars, wheat, etc. and possibly try out a raw food diet, Give that a go. Don't suffer like that, go and do some research. But be wary of any scams!! Good Luck

    PCOS is more common than you might thing Ortiz. It is important to control your weight if you have PCOS. The more weight you carry the worse it can be. It sounds simple but you could really gain a lot more control of your health if you could take care of your diet - it's not the only thing - but it would help. If you look on the internet there is a lot of advice about PCOS - don't blame it for the break up of your marriage - a man who would not stand by you is not worth having in the first place, in my opinion ... it's not your fault.
