does pcos sway ?

[SophiaRose]

I've read it can sway blue due to increased testosterone but equally I know irl women with PCOS with all girls?
Thanks!

Yes it sways boy as it increases testosterone (do remember it is a sway though not all women with pcos will have boys or only boys, you just need to counteract the effects of it) - if its something you have their are lots of threads on here about ttc pink with pcos, also i'd recommend one of Atomics plans as she knows a lot about pcos and she'd design it specifically to fit you.

Thank you Mrs P! Yes I have PCOS but am fortunate that I don't have the full effects of the syndrome. I've asked atomic re the plans! xx

I have PCOS and it does sway boy. However often the medication that people take to fall pregnant that have extreme pcos sways pink. I've never been on medication for it and have had incredible success with lots of exercise, and healthy eating and weight loss to assist me in getting pregnant naturally with pcos. I have numerous friends that have naturally controlled pcos, like me that have lots of boys. And equally numerous friends who have girls who had to go on medication to make then ovulate and stay pregnant.

Some ladies are prescribed drugs for PCOS that can sway pink. Overall I think PCOS sways blue and virtually all the women I know with PCOS have boys.

Does this mean without meds that I will most likely have a third boy even with swaying?

I went to a HT doctor for a consultation and he did a quick ultrasound and told me I have polycystic ovaries. Since then, I have decided to do swaying instead of HT, so I went to my OBGYN to see if I could get a work up regarding the PCOS. My OBGYN told me that since I have conceived two boys naturally with no problems and since I am very thin he didn't feel like he needed to do anything regarding the PCOS. I didn't bring up the gender swaying business with him. So my question is, do you think I need to go back and ask for this blood work in order to try and get medication for PCOS, so that I am not unintentionally swaying blue?

Thank you for all your time on this site helping all of us!

No, it doesn't mean that necessarily, but the meds may help quite a lot. This is esp. true if you're thin to begin with and are not going to see dramatic changes in hormone levels from diet/weight loss. As I'm sure you already know, some people with PCOS are heavyset and can improve significantly by losing weight. Since that doesn't seem to be your situation, I would want the Clomid in my corner.

My feelings on Clomid (particularly for people with PCOS) are that if you can get the Clomid, take it.

[SophiaRose]

Thanks Atomic! I've got a really slim (but not underweight) build but could still afford to lose 7-10lb without getting into an unhealthy BMI.
I would use the clomid again. I found when I took it at night time I didn't have the symptoms a lot of women get on it! So that's my top tip for clomid users! No hot flashes in the day then xx

Cocos--that's encouraging! but were you on meds (Clomid or metaformin) when you conceived your girl?
