any one heard of pos (polycystic ovarian syndrome)?

Question

hello i was told that i may have this and they are doing tests. does anyone know if you can still have children having this?

Answer 1

YES! I gave birth 9 weeks ago. PCOS is caused by hormone imbalances, some people have no changes at all, others experience great weight gain and infertility. I was one of those people, and I was completely infertile, but all I had to do was take fertility tablets, which made my body ovulate. I ended up having IVF, but in the end fell naturally. Quite often, after going through pregnancy and labour, you will no longer have PCOS. I learnt very much about PCOS and the fertility side of things when I went through it all, so if you have any further or specific questions to ask feel free to email or IM me. GL with ttc.

Answer 2

I am being tested for pcos - and find out results tomorrow.
I have had blood tests and an Intravagianl scan.
I have 1 child - who is 3 - and have been trying for a baby for 2 yrs - they are not sure if it is pcos - maybe it has got progressivley worse since i had my son???
I have heard there are pills / injections you can take to help with ovulation etc.. so dont worry too much - if you do have it - you will get all the support you need to fall pregnant.
Good luck

Answer 3

yes, I have pcos. Usually you are unable to ovulate, therefore don't release an egg. It wasn't detected until about a year ago, but 9 years ago I ovulated and just in that window of time I was able to produce my daughter. Now the problem is trying to have another.With hormone treatments ovulation should be able to be reached, Good luck in your future baby making!

Answer 4

yes. i have pcos and with the help of clomid and metformin and synthroad i have a 4 year old boy and trying for another one.
