PCOS and TTC girl in November <3

I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) May 11,2012. I have no symptoms of it what so ever, except I don’t ovulate. I’m 24, 5’2” and 112 pounds; I don’t suffer from acne, excessive hair growth or any other symptom so it came to a complete surprise to me. My fiancé is 28, we’re getting married in September (its coming so fast!!) I’ve always had irregular, excruciating periods. I’ve bled so much that I get dizzy and pass out (I found out that is from a Vitamin K deficiency) My doctor has me on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo until October, he said if we don’t get pregnant by January to come in and he’ll prescribe Clomid. I know I should just dream of having a healthy baby, regardless the gender but my fiancé is dreaming of pink and so am I. A little background of his family, he’s 1 of 5 boys. His Mom finally gave up after the 5 th boy. His Dad has 1 sister and 1 brother. Both of his brothers who have kids, have had boys. I keep reading that it is possible but I want to better my chances. I know that if I can get pregnant, I’ll be happy with whichever gender my little bundle is but we’d really like to have a girl. My fiancé is willing to participate in whatever he has to do to raise our chances as well. He is so supportive of the dream of pink!

Has anyone here successfully swayed pink with PCOS?

thank you :) I've read numerous things about trying to conceive a girl, it seems never ending!

It seems overwhelming at first but then it will just fall into place. please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

I have a notebook I'm writing questions in... I'm debating on doing the personalized plan but trying to save right now :) I am officially addicted to this place!

Good luck with conceiving! I have PCOS and am hoping to sway for a girl. You are so lucky you are not really symptomatic, but I hope you can find something that works for you so you are regular and pain free. :)

Good luck to you as well. I'm new with ALL of this... PCOS and swaying. What are your swaying plans?

okay I thought I would start some questions in my original thread then going on and on in the Clomid thread. I've read that BCPs sway girl and then when and if I get on Clomid that sways girl as well. I could have sworn I seen somewhere that it said when you're on Clomid with PCOS to not really do other swaying techniques. PCOS came to me as a complete surprise, I was reading about swaying before I was diagnosed. I know I shouldn't be selfish and sway but I feel like I need a girl so to speak. Here's how I found out with PCOS. I went for a consultation to meet my new doctor (who I LOVE) we talked about how excruciating my periods have been, painful, losing more blood than normal... he had me get a lot of blood tests done and had me retake them at a different time in my cycle. Blood tests came back "very consistant with PCOS" so then we did an u/s. I seen all of my follicles 3 days after my period had ended and they were all so big. I am now starting my second month of Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I'm quitting it in October. I go back to the doctor August 6th for my annual and to talk more about the PCOS. My main question is, since I don't have all of the other symptoms of PCOS, could my sway be easier? What should my diet be like? I starting tracking calories today... did terrible :( also, I have NO idea when I ovulate! I will do anything to understand PCOS better and help our way. I'm really debating on doing the personal sway but paying for the wedding and the up and coming mortgage, I'm just trying to gather some information before I spend the money. This is also my way to cope, I love reading the sucess stories on here :)

Thanks for the help in advance... I'm sure more questions will come up as I read more. :hugs:

1)Yep, coming off BCP are believed to sway pink by shrinking the cervical crypts that make EWCM. Less EWCM = higher chance of a girl.

2)Clomid does sway pink too and you can read about that here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...91-clomid.html and here is how to tweak your sway if you are prescribed Clomid. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...-part-2-a.html

3) There are actually a lot of sway tactics you can use while you have PCOS - Vitex, Saw Palmetto, baby aspirin, jellies, anithistamine, diet, etc The Clomid is really the complicating factor because you can't

4)You do have to tweak the diet just a bit when you have PCOS. I'm working on a thread about diet with PCOS specifically but haven't had time to finish it unfortunately. The main difference is that you need to avoid empty cals like sugary snacks, increase protein slightly to 50-60 g, and limit your grain intake to 2-3 servings a day of whole grains.

excited for that thread. I'm trying really hard to watch what I'm eating and what I'm drinking... I'm just scared I'll sway too much or too little. Is it even worth it since my fiancé comes from a family of ALL boys?

back to more reading :)
