[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 608662, member: 15473"] At one point I was diagnosed with PCO (Polycistic Ovarian Cysts). At the time they basically told me to get rid of them I needed to lose weight. They were willing to put me on GLucophage (diabetic medication) that has shown it can help people lose weight. I wasn't diabetic but they said the low dose would help with weight loss and the PCO so I tried it. I couldn't handle the Glucophage it gave me diarrhea so bad I was miserable. Other treatments for it include BC Pills if I am not mistaken. At this time I had already had my last child so I'm no help on the not getting prego part since I didn't want to be prego anyway. LOL I do know my sister in law who is extremely overweight and has been since marriage has PCO and she is unable to conceive. Whether or not that has to do with the PCO or the fact both she and brother in law are morbidly obese and therefore unhealthy in other ways I don't know? I can't imagine that either one of them has healthy reproduction ability at this point simply because of the stress on their bodies due to weight. I hope you are able to find some answers. It is frustrating. On the other hand maybe now is not the best time considering the financial difficulties they are having? Would they be able to afford the child and the medical bills associated with it? :smile: [/QUOTE]
