Answer 1

CHANGE DOCTORS!!! I don't care if you like monkey's PCOS NEEDS TO BE TREATED!!! Where did that cracker head get is licenses from? Now with that out of my system! The chances of getting pregnant vary from woman to woman, while I can tell you it is more difficult to conceive with PCOS many woman have been able to take clomid and get pregnant, some like myself have a little more severe case of PCOS which it cause major difficulties.

Find yourself another doctor (endocrinologist) to see about treating the pcos once ya got a grip on the pcos then try getting pregnant.

And while your at give your doctor a kick in the *** for me!

Answer 2

Setting aside the issue of requiring sperm to have a child, because I assume you've addressed that issue already...your chance of concieving with PCOS are low. One of the things that happens when we have PCOS is that we don't ovulate regularly-sometimes at all. It's possible, but it's not something that I'd depend on, with PCOS. You may be ovulating infrequently, and charting your cycles may help determine whether or not you are. Finding out whether or not you ovulate on your own is the first step in figuring out how likely it might be to concieve on your own-without ovulation, it's imposible to get pregant.

However, untreated, PCOS can cause all sorts of other health problems, like diabetes, high cholesterol, endometrial hyperplasia (which can put you at higher risk for endometrial cancer) and others. If your doctor isn't taking your PCOS seriously whether or not you're trying to have a child, then perhaps a different doctor would be a good choice.

Answer 3

Well, if you're a lesbian, your chances of conceiving a child are nothing since it requires a man's sperm to fertilize an egg.

Nonetheless, your doctor should still treat you for the PCOS at the very least to regulate your cycles so as to avoid any potential health risks down the road. It's also a good idea to get your insulin tolerance tested and try to lose some weight to avoid diabetes and heart problems.

Answer 4

Chances are less then average on conception and higher then average for miscarriage. To increase those chances (and lower your symptoms of PCOS) you must lose weight FIRST.

I recently read on yahoo news (yesterday) that two cups of speariment tea per day can lower your side effects of PCOS (excessive hair growth, etc) by 26%. Go with decaf tea if you are trying to conceive.

Last.. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR. Your PCOS needs to be treated and your sexuality is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS and should NOT effect the quality of your care.

Good luck!
