Just diagnosed with PCOS - lots of questions ..

[Kittique]

Hi all,

As the title says i've just been diagnosed with PCOS I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago at 11+3 of twins and this scan was to check all was clear. I haven't ovulated since the m/c and i'm still getting + preg tests
uterus was clear though, so thats a good thing.

the questions i have are...my periods are generally quite regular, occasionally they are off by a day or two and very occasionally off by a week. does that mean i do always ovulate, or can you still get a period without ovulating?

does pcos mean you have a hormone imbalance for sure? i have a few symptoms of low progesterone, is that a common thing with pcos?

sorry for all the qs....but finally.....the question that is getting me..is...could the pcos/hormone imbalance be the cause of my m/c ? that is what is worrying me most....

thank you all xxxx

Hi, I have PCOS too. PCOS affects each individual very differently. Some tend to put on weight and grow more hair, some stop ovulating, etc. One thing for sure PCOS makes it difficult for an embryo to implant and stay implanted.

For me, my LH (luthenising hormone) was higher than normal and hence, showed PCOS. My weight is about 51KG, no extra hair. My cycles are similar to your, +/- a couple of days and I do get my period. However internally, it's slightly different. Each time I went through ICSI, I was on very low dossage of stimulating hormones but I still got about 30 eggs each time. Sometimes, PCOS patients tend to produce a lot of eggs BUT the quality isn't very good.

Wishing you all the best. Am around if you want to ask more
