Many women with PCOS will need help regulating their ovulation and protecting against miscarriage, which requires supervision of a trained doctor. Your doctor will help you with this, as well as monitor you early in your pregnancy. Medications you are taking to manage your PCOS may not be safe for use in pregnancy, and they will need to be changed or discontinued. This is another excellent reason to see your doctor right away. PCOS causes many women to have infrequent periods. Infrequent periods mean infrequent ovulation, which means lower chances of sperm fertilizing an egg. Chart your period, using an over-the-counter ovulation test or basal body temperature thermometer to make note of the days you ovulate.  If you are ovulating regularly, try to time intercourse to occur on your most fertile days. If you are not ovulating, or your ovulation is irregular, your basal body temperatures and ovulation predictor results are erratic, or you have not conceived after 6 months of regular ovulation, schedule an appointment with your obstetrician. Explain your concern and ask for a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. The biggest problem women with PCOS face is irregular ovulation. If you're not ovulating when you think you're ovulating, or you're not ovulating at all, getting pregnant is going to be a Sisyphean task. Luckily, doctors — and the magic of science — can help.  Many doctor prescribe drugs like Metformin and Clomid to help produce regular periods and regulate ovulation, respectively.  Metformin is primarily a drug used to treat diabetes, but is used for women with PCOS because they often have difficulty absorbing insulin. High insulin levels produce high androgen levels, which complicates periods.  Clomid is an infertility drug that stimulates the production of hormones that cause ovulation.    If you're having trouble getting a period at all, your doctor might suggest a drug like Provera. Some patients with PCOS use in-vitro fertilization to conceive when other methods do not offer results. In some rare cases, PCOS affects the quality of the woman's eggs and donor eggs must be used. A surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling has shown promise and may help some women with PCOS conceive. It involves a surgeon inserting a camera through a small incision in your abdomen and using it to identify follicles on the surface of your ovaries and burn holes in them. This alters your hormone levels and may allow you to conceive naturally.

summary: Notify your obstetrician when you are ready to start trying to conceive. Establish how frequently you get your period. Consult your endocrinologist about regulating your monthly periods. Talk to your doctor about in-vitro fertilization if a non-invasive drug regimen doesn't produce a pregnancy. Explore other options if none of the other regimens work.


Summarize the following:
Just a couple of drops of water flipped off your hand will really crackle when the oil has reached this heat level. Shake off the excess flour and let the fillets sit on a rack or on wax paper for 5-10 minutes. Roll the fillets in the flour a second time. As before, shake off the excess flour. Now they're ready for the pan! No more than 2 at a time, however. Frying more than 2 fillets at once drives down the oil temperature which will make the fish and coating soggy. Turn once in the pan after a minute or so and remove when golden brown. They should be done in under 4 minutes; white and flaky inside at the thickest section of the fillet. Do not overcook! Garnish with sauces and sides for taste and presentation.

summary: Heat the oil in a 3 or 4-quart pan to at least 375° F (190°C). Roll the dry and thawed fish in the flour. Deep fry those bad boys. Drain each fillet on paper towels for a few seconds and serve immediately. Finished.

Children throw tantrums when they want something and do not get it. By acting out, the child may hope to get what they want in the end. If you give the child what they want (e.g. ice cream, or a delayed bathtime/bedtime), then the child will learn that tantrums are a good way to get things. It is much easier to start addressing tantrums when the autistic person is a child. For example, a 6-year-old boy who throws himself on the floor is much easier to manage compared to a 16-year-old. Also, the child will be less likely to cause injury to themself or others. Planned ignoring can work best for yelling, swearing, and sulking. This will teach the child that the behavior is not an effective way to get attention. It helps to clearly communicate this idea, such as "I can't understand what's wrong if you're pouting back there. But if you would like to calm down a little and explain what is wrong, I would be happy to listen to you." Always step in if the child begins throwing things, taking things that belong to others, or hitting. Ask the child to stop and then explain why the behavior is not okay. Tell your child that they can choose to act in a way that will get the desired response. Explaining this to your child will help your child understand the best way to get what they want (or at least a listening ear or a compromise).  For example, you can tell your child, "If you'd like me to help you, you can take a few deep breaths and tell me what's wrong. I'm here for you if you need me."
summary: Consider how your actions can affect your child's tantrums. Address tantrum behavior early. Ignore tantrum behavior. Intervene if the child is being mean or doing dangerous things. Invite your child to behave better.
