Any moms on here have PCOS?

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and am going to start TTC.

I was wondering what your experience was like, if you don't mind sharing details..

I need inspiration to know that I can do this - and who better to provide it than moms!

TIA

I have it, and I have 2 children.

I saw an RE but I ended up getting pregnant on my own RIGHT after we decided to do an IUI, which was pretty funny since we thought I had missed my ovulation that month.

The second time my 1st child was only 8 months old, so we think the PCOS hadn't kicked back in yet and I got pregnant on the first try.

HTH!

So happy to hear your success story! It definitely gives me hope. I go to the RE in two weeks!

I am prone to cysts although I've never been told that I have PCOS. Acupuncture helped to shrink them and I got pregnant soon after.

Re: Any moms on here have PCOS?

I was diagnosed with it yet I am skeptical about the diagnosis because it was not based on any classic symptoms. It took me about 7-8 months to get pregnant with my 1st and with my 2nd (which I am pregnant now with), I got pregnant right away.

I have PCOS - I needed metformin to regulate my AF- but even though the dr's told me I would need help - I was able to get pregnant the first try.

Etd to add I have the polycystic cysts and have had problems with large cysts over the years

i was diagnosed with it and was told by two different doctors that we would have a a hard time conceiving, we ended up getting pregnant the 1st month we started TTC. However, thats very rare and i question if i even had it at all
