Hi, Just thought i'd say hello! I too have PCOS causing me to have VERY irregular cycles meaning i dont ovulate very oftern and blah blah blah! After 2 years I got pregnant, but sadly miscarriaged. Maybe my Dr was fibbing to me...but he said that PCOS wouldnt affect the baby! Fingers crossed hun u will get your BFP soon! May I also add that my doctor also said that one of the best cures for PCOS is to get pregnant as for some reason it gets rid of them :S Maybe i have a rubbish Dr!lol but my mum had pcos and after bein pregnant they cleared up So fingers crossed sweetie...Good things come to those who wait! xxxxxx

Oh, I'm so so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, that must have been heartbreaking. I really do hope that you're ok.

Well from what I've read, if you have PCOS your chances of miscarrying are alot higher. I don't know if this is true of not as I haven't spoken to my GP since I was diagnosed this morning but I will ask him next week.

Thank you for your reply, I wish you best of luck for the future xx

Aww sorry to hear that hun
I can't really offer any constructive advice but what I do wanna say is don't google it.. it'll only come up with worst case scenarios & you need to be thinking positively right now
There are loads of ladies on here who have PCOS and got pregnant so don't think that this is it for you
Good luck hun & lots of baby dust! xxx

Thank you for your positive reply sophie. Positivity is definately what I need tonight!

That's alright!
Think you need a pampering night tonight! Can't go wrong with that! x

I was going to say the same as a poster above... google always gives you the worst case scenarios about conditions. I got diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 as I had no periods for almost a year... as time has gone on although i still have it i do have periods now although never quite sure when they will appear. Its roughly 4-6 weeks now. I managed to get pregnant with not much trying but it ended in a m/c. I did however get pregnant again and i now have a lovely little boy, I just wanted you to know that with PCOS its still very possible to conceive and I hope that your GP gives you some great info. I am the same as you I am quite hairy and have struggled with weight for a long time.
At least now you know what your facing and it sounds like you and your husband will face this challenge together.

Thankyou Goddess, I'm so sorry to hear of your MC but it's really lovely to hear that you have a beautiful baby boy now. I'm so glad there's still hope! xx

we do have a higher chance of MC unfortunately... I think its something to do with the fact that we produce a much higher rate of LH hormone making it hard for LO to embed itself... This is what also afects our ovulation.

non pcos women have a regular level of FSH hormone and LH hormone.. The FSH hormone developes the egg and ripens it... (this happens to PCOS women aswell) however, non pcos women have a constant lower level of LH hormone which peaks at ovulation. This releases the egg in to the fallopian tube. Unfortunately, PCOS sufferers dont get that peak and have a generally higher level of LH hormone... the cysts that are on our ovaries are actually ripened eggs that couldnt be released thus fusing to the ovary and not allowing us to ovulate. the Dr described my ovaries as a 'Pearl Necklace' appearance, the pearls are the cysts which are inactual fact, eggs that have ripend but not released and fused to form 'cysts'.

I hope that sort of clears up why we dont ovulate...

Saying that my Gynae did also say: 'Dont stop using contraception, as he often see ladies who figure since they dont ovulate they dont need contraception, and they waltz in preggers a few weeks later! (oops) xxx

A couple years ago I was diagnosed in May or June (per ultrasound)and I found myself surprisingly pregnant with my first in August. I hope you get your BFP soon.

I love hearing stories like this... it makes me feel hopeful.
