I just found out today that I have PCOS. Anyone of you have it and still managed to get pregnant? How did you do it? I am feeling pretty deflated about this.

I have it. Was diagnosed when I was about 20ish. Was able to get pregnant 2x with the help of fertility treatments. I did have a chemical and pregnancy too. But it’s possible

Cheer up OP! My sister and cousin both have it, and I’m pretty certain I do too. I’ll get tested eventually but I’ve put it off bc there’s nothing I can do right now. I’ve read plenty of success stories tho, and my cousin got pregnant no problem! Infertility is a major fear for everyone because it’s something totally unknown until you finally start trying. You should Insta follow one of my fave bloggers who has PCOS and posts about it a lot - Lee from America. Hope this helps a bit! :)

My grandmother and all her sisters have it, they all had multiple kids. My mother has it, had multiple kids, my sister and I have it, both have kids! It’s more than just possible, its likely you will be able to get pregnant! Don’t get too upset. PCOS is super common and many can get pregnant naturally, some need to take drugs to help them ovulate. Don’t worry about it!

Not an issue at all! I have it, and it can be managed with diet (extremely low carb). Also, the doc can give you meds to spur ovulation. Better knowing this now rather than question why you might be having trouble getting pregnant!

Thank you so much y’all! All this helps! ❤️

I have PCOS and was still able to get pregnant naturally. It doesn't hurt to lose weight/exercise as well if you are on the heavy side. Best to be on a low carb diet as you can become insulin resistant because of PCOS

I have it and just had a baby! I shared your anxiety this time last year and had to get on Clomid to aid ovulation. Talk to a good RE, and as others have said, PCOS is just a hormonal imbalance and can be managed

PCOS isn't a disease, it basically just means your hormones (excess androgens / testosterone) are temporarily out of whack.

PCOS is super common and I kind of suspect it’s just doctor speak for your hormones are kinda off and we can’t diagnose a specific reason for it. I have it and got pregnant after 7 months trying with a good RE We did 4 rounds of letrozol and then 3 rounds letrozol plus IUI. The result is 6 months old now and totally amazing.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I feel like I wasted 20 years of work life- as if I’m back to sq 1. Married with baby, super under pressure (by myself and the bills) to provide for my family. Looking for more payment security - not knowing when the next paycheck comes in kills me. Apparently I got so many skills etc., but I don’t believe in myself rn. Looking for a friend or someone who was in this kind of situation and got out of it. Of course, looking also for a safe haven/job

Hi all! So first, husband and I are both 28. I’ve been pregnant before and had previous child at 23. I was obviously way younger. Didn’t even try to get pregnant back then. Fast forward five years later, want a baby badly. I am 50 pounds more than I was at 23. And my periods are now irregular. I do get them every month which the obgyn thought was a great sign. But I’m still not pregnant. I cant pinpoint ovulation as some months my period is 29-32 days and last month it was 45. Help

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
