Hey- I just got diagnosed not too long ago with PCOS as well and I'm eight weeks pregnant! So it can and does happen=)
First of all, if you're not already taking Metformin I'd HIGHLY recommend it. I had a miscarriage earlier this year due to low progesterone....(because of my PCOS). I moved and saw a new doctor. He knew so much more about PCOS and prescribed Metformin for me. I got pregnant shortly after going on it and it's been successful in sustaining this pregnancy.
If you are taking Metformin...try adding Clomid to the mix and continue taking Metformin through the first trimester. My doctor was going to have me try Metformin for three months and if that alone didn't get me to ovulate he would have added clomid to the mix! I wouldn't recommend going on clomid alone as the risk of miscarriage is much higher without the Metformin.
Hope this helps and good luck to you!! =)
-Oh and watching for the stretchy fertile quality cervical mucas really helped to know if and when I was actually ovulating. I also bought a BBT thermometer for $8 at Wal-mart. Your temperature will spike after ovulation so you can know if you're ovulating each cycle and start to notice a pattern.

I have had PCOS for a long time and found out about it as a teenager. I was warned that I would have great difficulty conceiving, if there was any chance at all. We conceived our first child by complete accident (I wasn't getting periods, we weren't trying and I was on birth control but taking antibiotics which apparently can decrease the effectiveness of birth control). We tried for our 2nd baby for well over a year before we finally had to resort to a fertility dr. After one round of Clomid we got pregnant and we are now expecting baby number 2 in May! So it is definitely possible to still get pregnant, women with PCOS do it all the time, it just may take a bit more work and help than other women. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with PCOS and Insulin resistance about three years ago- after I had already had what I thought was my complete family, a husband and 4 kids. Now, 8 years after my last child im pregnant again, it was not expected at all. I did not use any drugs or anything. The way I see it he or she was just meant to be. Wishing you the same good fortune!!

Don't panic! I had PCOS and bad endometriosis. After lots of treatment, a miscarriage, another year trying, I was started on a course of Clomid to make me ovulate properly and it worked. I now have a beautiful 8 year old daughter. Had to have a hysterectomy in January but thank goodness I have my girl. It's not impossible, don't give up hope. Clomid may work really well for you as it makes you ovulate regularly. I wish you the very best of luck!

yes you can have kids but I'll be a little difficult, I have pcos and have been ttc for a real long time, I did 4 rounds of clomid which didn't made me ovulate at all, so I am on Metformin 500mg 2x a day, and so far it have my cycle reguler, Metformin helps alot with pcos it helps your body gets back to ovulating reguler, most ladies with pcos conceive naturally, but some may need the help of fertility drugs
