Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello I have PCOS, without the classical symptoms (I am a pear, slender). When I was on birth control I had didn't have any hirsutism but now I have minor and acne. I know it sucks ladies, but I am also 18 weeks preggo, with one miscarriage behind me. With PCOS you are also at an increased risk of miscarriage once you get preg. You should ask your doc about progesterone supplements as soon as you conceive. If you are having problems getting preg, I recommend the book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". WIth PCOS it is hard to outline when you ovulate, because it usually happens less than the typical once a month. This charting method helps to outline when you ovulate, when your fertile days are, and when you don't ovulate during a given month. That along with fertility treatments and a controlled diet and you should have a much better chance of conceiving. Good Luck!!!!!!!!

i was wondering if any one knows the symptoms of pregnancy for us that have pcos...

I was dx'd with PCOS about a year ago, we hadn't been using any kind of birth control for three years with not even a pregnancy scare to show for it. We decided to start fertility treatment. I had to take medicine to make me have my period before I could take the fertility medication, but it didn't work. My Dr wanted to give me a stronger dose but I had to take a pregnancy test first, it ended up being +, so we hadn't even started officially trying yet and I got pregnant. I was sure I was in for a rough road. So maybe you'll be as lucky as we were! good luck!

I know this forum is kinda old but I was diagnosed with PCOS but only in my right ovary, each ovary ovulates in rotation the right ovary one month, the left ovary the next and so on. I got pregnant in 2006, had a miscarriage, then got pregnant again a month later, I now have a 2 year old son, and am 7 months pregnant, so dont let pcos get you down...
