Not at ALL! It means it may be more difficult for your depending on if you have anovulatory cycles, IR, immature eggs, they are not being released and a few other factors. If you have PCOS or suspect you do, please go to your doc and get tested before TTC. You need to treat the syndrome for other health reasons besides TTC but it will be MUCH easier to conceive if you do get it treated (and preserve your fertility longer than not treating it would). The links below provide some excellent info on PCOS and there is a link to a chat board about it. On the board, the entries prior to the last 3 months or so are VERY informative about the challenges you might face.
GOOD LUCK! HTH

No, it just will be a little harder to conceive. I do not have PCOS so I will not give any advice regarding it. I did read, though, in the South Beach Diet Book that a women had suffered from PCOS for years. She went on the diet, lost weight, and her periods regulated. She conceived right away. You may want to do some research and get the book. It can't hurt. Good Luck.

Broadly speaking, women with PCOS do not ovulate normally without assistance.
In women with PCOS, their ovaries may prepare to ovulate by producing follicles every month however their ovaries don't make enough of all of the hormones for any of their eggs to fully mature.
Sometimes PCOS can be corrected with the right medication and a women can spontaneously ovulate, and conceive naturally, and may continue to ovulate for awhile after she comes off medication.
IVF can also be a successful way for women with PCOS to conceive.
Because PCOS is different for each patient, each patient needs an individual strategy to manage their condition. It's difficult to offer up a broad brush approach to what PCOS is and how to best treat it.

It means that it will in most cases be more difficult, but not impossible. My friend has severe PCOS and is due in May. She was on fertility drugs and didn't get pregnant... went off of them and she's about to have a baby.
There is some hope in almost every situation.

No, It doesn't. I had PCOS. And we just found out were pregnant! It took us 1 miscarriage and 2 yrs. later!
I am claiming a healing, and there is nothing impossible for God if you believe!
God Bless You in your conceiving!
