Well actually people with PCOS usually do have fertility problems. BUT they can be overcome. I have severe PCOS I am now pg with my third. I would do things WAY different if I knew what I knew now back then.
I went through months and months of Clomid, fertility treatments, surgery, Metformin. Finally I conceived my first. I did the same for my second. I was so obcessed with becoming a mom, and so depressed and it was horrilbe emotionally. Well my pg's werent that great either and there were lots of complications but I have 2 wonderful healthy lovely children to show for it, so it was soooo worth it.
Well now for this time around. Last year I had a lap band surgery. I lost 60 pounds. I feel great! I started ovulating on my own, with no clomid, metformin or any other fertility treatments, and I am now pg with my 3rd. So far I feel great, but it is too early to tell how this will all play out.
You can do this and your dh and you can overcome PCOS and have a family. My only regret is that I didnt take my own health seriously enough to get my butt in gear and lose weight years ago. I would encourage you that if you are overweight, ( I still need to lose another 40 pounds or so too) that you take 9-mo to a year and focus on losing some weight and then get pg. It may work it may not. But it certainly will make you feel so much better and improve the PCOS. It will also help the fertility meds to work better. Of course you may not be overweight at all as some PCOS have normal weight.
Losing weight is very very very difficult usually for those with PCOS. Metformin is a great drug to help assist that, as it helps the body use the insulin more wisely. Some people lose quite well just from that.
Good luck to you and I am so sorry that you have this terrible disease. I hope you are holding that baby in your arms very very very soon.

This is a year late, but I was searching for PCOS info - that's a rough doctor! Are you still with the doctor? many women conceive with pcos, it's many different symptoms and women are effected differently. Diet can help, so can progesterone supplementation. Many women conceive 'on their own' and you want your body to be healthy to carry the pregnancy.

I am very upset that they told you that. Such doctors should not be allowed to do that to women. Wow.
