Hi maybe someone here could help me? After reading a few of post in this forum im beginning to wonder if i were misdiagnosed with PCOS. From what ive been reading it sounds like its hard to conceive with this condition. But conceiving isnt my issue maintaining a pregnancy seem to be the problem. I was told in Jan I had PCOS after I had a m/c. The doctor checked to see if i was ovulating a few months later and I wasnt. She wanted me to go to see a specialist to get test for a bunch of stuff and I thought that was silly only becuz i dont understand the condition. so I didnt. I decided to try it again myself. I counted the days when i thought i would ovulate and now im pregnant again. Now things are still ify with this pregnancy but im hopeful. I do have to take progestrone injections. Maybe im just not understanding PCOS at all. SO anyone that wouldnt mind educating me would be great.

So sorry for your loss and congratulations on the new pregnancye 
The main thing with PCOS is hormonal imbalances. Very often PCOS ladies (like me) have high testosterone and this can lead to m/c. Testosterone blocks progesterone which supports the pregnancy.
So the fact that you are now taking progesterone supplements is great!
Wishing you happy&healthy 9 months

Hey MoonChild,
I was diagnosed with PCOS as well but now they are debating on whether I have it. Maybe you just need some more tests completed. I understand the frustration of wanting to know what is wrong with you and not sure where exactly you fit.
I know for me the doctor said I have most of the symptoms and Metformin tends to work wonders for me but apparently my hormone profile doesn't fit exactly. My gyno agreed to put me back on Metformin and I am supposed to see him him a couple of month so see if my ovulation has returned.
Hopefully it is a matter of time and if PCOS is the wrong diagnosis they figure out what is wrong and fix it. I wish you all kinds of luck with your pregnancy.
