Told I have polycystic ovaries.... Now what ? Help !

[Ebony_Blaze]

Hi girls !!

Just wandering how many of you girlies out there can tell me what happens next ?

Got told I have polycystic ovaries over phone from gp after pelvic scan
a few weeks ago and been told I just have to wait for my gyno app
but is there such thing as mild / severe case etc ?!

Also is there a chance I still could get preg or would that depend on how severe ?

I have reg cycles and pretty sure I ovulate

Any help would be great !

Having polycystic ovaries is not synonymous to being childless... I know of a doctor.. and OB.. she has PCOS and yet after years of wait, she finally got pregnant- but due this, she quit her career.. because she was said to have a high risk pregnancy.. she may lost it if she gets stressed....

There's hope sweetheart

PCOS is very different for everyone. Some people still have clockwork cycle and ovulation but lots of external symptoms (like acne and excess hair) and some people don't have any symptoms and are skinny yet don't ovulate at all.

In terms of conception - it does all depend on whether you ovulate regularly or not. If you do - there's every chance you'll conceive naturally unless there are other non-PCOS problems.
If you don't ovulate - there are still plenty of drugs to stimulate your ovaries. Most common of them being Clomid.

In modern day and age PCOS is certainly not an untreatable condition and it just takes a little longer to conceive!

Good luck! Hope that appointment comes through soon xx

hi Ebony,

Like you i had a pelvic scan and was told i have PCOS, yet im not over weight..but have some syptoms such as spots and irregular periods...

They put me on metformin to see if this helps me concieve, and if that doesnt work they will put me on clomid aswell.

There is so many options for you...pcos ladies CAN concieve just sometimes we need a little help along the way. sometimes no help at all..i mean i have 2 children already with no help and concieved both on first try!!! my 3rd baby im strugglin so im on the meds lol
Good luck u will be fine and as u have regular periods im sure u wont have much trouble baby dust to you xx

Thanks so much for your reply, you've made me feel loads better.

I'm just looking forward to my gyno app so I can start getting some help.

How long have you been ttc for number 3 for ? And do you think you had pcos before baby number 1 and 2 ?

been trying since June - and althou thats not long, it feels like a lifetime, espeically when your waiting for periods that dont come and have them neg preg tests. and i reckon i did have it with baby 1 and 2 as i had same symptoms then. i just reckon i was very lucky ...
