Two of my friends have PCOS, one is 14 weeks pregnant and the other is trying for a baby at the moment. She has been trying for a long time but she had to lose weight before the doctor would give her clomid to help with her conception. She is going to be starting to take that soon to see if that helps her to conceive. It can be more difficult I think but as my first friend has shown it is possible. Friend 1 had the problem of having virtual continuous AF and Friend 2 had AF disappear for months at a time. I think you can go one way or the other! Hope this helps

Hi hun,

I was diagnosed with PCOS in October... I found it hard to come to terms with but there are plenty of success stories on here.
PCOS - polcystic ovarian syndrom.
Alst I know of PCOS is that: where as everymonth non PCOS women produce a low level of FSH and LH, their LH hormone spikes once during the month - releasing an egg into the fallopian tube.
for Ladies with pcos, our LH hormone runs at a level slightly higher then non PCOS ladies and which doesnt spike once a month, meaning that we produce eggs to be fertilised, however they don't get released into the fallopian tube. Instead they sit on the ovary and fuse to form small cysts. My Gynea said that when he looked at my ovaries, they could only be described as a pearl necklace - because of all the eggs that have ripened and fused to the ovary... (The only way I found out about it is that 2 of mine popped. [OUCH!]) so this explains why its harder for us to conceive - because our eggs dont get released into the fallopian tube for the sperms to meet... there is also some evidence to suggest that because of the hormone inbalance that we have, we tend to miscarry more, however, the Drs proscribe drugs like clomid that help to balance out the hormones - allowing eggs to be released and hopefully fertilised... Also, if you get pregnent, it is supposed to help PCOS sufferers.

Please ask your DR if u are worried, I am by no-means medical but I have simply told you what my gynea said to me... Like I said, there are MANY success stories to be found on this website. PM me if u want to know anything else hun, I know how sad it can make u feel sometimes.

Hi hunny :wave:

Don't worry you aren't alone I have not had a period since July 09. I have had test's coming out my earholes including an ultrasound for PCOS and all clear. I was supposed to go back to my GP last week but I forgot to book in I know I am naughty.

Noone can explain it, bloods all clear (they tested for thyroid/hormone etc etc)

I suppose I am just going to wait it out to see what happens.

Fingers crossed everything goes fine for you x As my GP so expertly put it "Sometimes we just have blips!"

Hiya hun!
Just wanted to let you know that I have PCOS and I got pregnant whilst still on the pill and now have a beautiful little boy. PCOS does not always mean you will have trouble getting pregnant. I am an example of that!!

Hope your doctor can give you some answers to your missing period very soon xx
