I found out I'm pregnant 2 days ago on mine and my husband's birthday... However I'm a by worried, I lost an ovary 2 years ago and the only one that I have left I was diagnosed with pcos a couple months ago. My question is "does anyone know if this will harm the baby in any way?" I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but I'm just trying to prepare myself for anything that she might say...
View 2 RepliesI've recently been diagnoses with PCOS after not having periods for 18 months and the only help I received was being told to lose weight, they didn't even worry about the fact I've not had a period for a year and a half (which worried me when before that I had a period every 28-30 days)
Me and my partner TTC on 17th June (after having a period and my cervix and mucus indicating ovulation) and I took a pregnancy test today (I know it's early but I am so impatient) and it came back negative. But I've been feeling all the symptoms of pregnancy, sickness, headaches, cramping, back pain, areolas darkening, breast tenderness, insomnia (I just can't seem to get comfortable) and I just know something doesn't feel normal as I know my body well.
I just wanted to know what I should do, I worry that if I am pregnant my hormone levels might cause a miscarriage as they only said my testosterone levels were high but didn't tell me how high or if it could cause a difficult pregnancy.
Should I just wait as see if I get a BFP or should I go to the doctors and ask for a blood test.
I am waiting for results to find out if I am pregnant for the first time since finding out I have pcos but one thing is confusing me and always has done, pcos causes your hormonal levels to become imbalanced and making the male hormones become too high so would this not mask the actual levels in your body for tests to pick up??? Because the way I see it and no one will explain it to me, surely it would have to elevate to become "normal" and then have to go even higher before a test will pick up the levels? If someone could answer this for me I would be so grateful as I have wondered this for literally years and now I have loads of symptoms including sickness, a 'pressure' just above my knicker line, constantly hungry (not like me at all!!), extremely emotional and easily start crying (again very much not like me, usually takes a lot to make me cry. ...usually) and always extremely tired. Have been to socs and she said it sounds like I am pregnant even saying the sleepiness was the clincher but I am worried about the test results.

View 3 RepliesPart of my pcos has been cravings. I crave chocolate almost constantly. It's so hard to transition into a low carb, no sugar added, and no junk food diet.
View 3 RepliesI was diagnosed with pcos about a year ago. My periods had just stopped and I hadn't had one for about a year and a half, they we're always irregular but had never just stopped before . I don't think I have it really bad, (I don't know really), but ever since I was diagnosed I've noticed my weight just escalate and growing more hair in odd places along with the no periods and loads of gross spots on my chin constantly! . I'm 29, 5'7 and weigh 12 stone, which is literally the heaviest I have ever been. Trying to loose weight has been a struggle, so went to the docs and she started me on metformin. Been on it for 2 months now. It seems I am loosing weight slowly but still no periods.
Me and my partner have been together for 7 years now, but I'm still not ready to have a baby, but I'm scared I'm not taking my pcos seriously enough and should get on it incase it never happens?! . I do smoke too which is obviously something I have to conquer before we start trying. Is age 33-34 too late to start trying if you've got pcos?
Also when I was diagnosed I realised I must of had it for years because I had quite a lot of unprotected sex in my teens (bad, I know) and never got pregnant.
Previously I use to have irregular periods but once the right ovarian cyst is removed my periods were normal that is once in every 33 days.Recently when I gone for pelvic Ultrasound doctor Diagnosed 15 follicles in my left ovary even though I am getting my period for every 33 days.Does it comes under PCOS condition.
And I can see some white liquid coming out from my nipples.Am not pregnant,I dont have any Itching.Is it dangerous.
does any body have pcos and had have several hpt come positive along with blood test but nothing on the ultrasound please could u reply am rerally confuse at this point because i have never had a pt positive n i did 7 n they were all positive and the blood test was also but both ultrasound showed nothing
View 4 Replieshi, my gf is under treatment for PCOS and hypoThyroid and take Harmoni - F (Cyproterone Acetate, Ethinylestradiol & Folic Acid) and Femella tablets from a week. We had sex last night with protection (condom) i ejaculated outside but i found that the condom was punctured with 4-5 holes . will she get pregnant? Should she take any contraceptive pills to avoid pregnancy?
View 1 RepliesI suffer from PCOS and am trying for a baby. I have had no period for 3 months now (last period Dec 2013) and my GP conducted urine test which was negative. However I am suffering from a few symptoms of pregnancy. I am passing urine a lot more than usual, feeling hungry sooner, nausea etc though I have not had any morning sickness. I also suffering cramps in my stomach and my stomach does seem bigger, which my husband has also commented on.
I also have a little white/brown discharge whilst passing urine, although i have not had to use any pads.
Am i pregnant and what can I ask my GP to do?
37 with pcos and just done a pregnancy test which came up positive. my periods have always been irregular so no idea how far i am. i am worried now that all is well with the baby. i had ivf with my twins so this is a total shock. can you get a false reading? my last period was around the end of Nov 13 but that would be i was quite far on and i have only been having symptoms for the past month i would say hence the reason i have taken a test.
View 1 RepliesSo, I have been diagnosed with Pcos since 2010. I'm 25 years old and my boyfriend and I after 5 years of being together are going to try for a baby.
I don't have periods , probably had about ; since 2010.
My doctor wanted to put me on the pill a couple of years ago but I declined as I wanted a natural period.... Still nothing . How do I know if and when I am ovulating? These are questions I can't ask my doc as he /she always rushes me out the door. My boyfriend and I have had endless amounts of unprotected sex through the years and never fell pregnant.
I know people say ... Yes you can still fall pregnant if you have Pcos ...
I had sex the night from the 7th-8th august. I'm on the pill but forgot to take it a couple of days before that and it was more than 12 hours too late so i decided to use a condom while having sex. To be extra safe i got me the morning after pill sunday. Now, 5 days later, i find out of nowhere a condom in me. He lost it and didn't told me. Is there a chance i'm pregnant?
View 1 RepliesI'm 37 years old. I've been diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease) when I was 25. My symptoms include: weight gain, water retention, leg swelling, hair loss, awful hirsutism, bloating, periodically growing cysts, and periodic urinary tract pain.
I don't eat red meat and dairy. I try to limit processed carbohydrates consumption (bread, pasta etc). I sometimes eat soy products but they don't go well with my thyroid. I don't exercise enough.
All the above mentioned symptoms have gotten worse in the last 13 months. I have a "beard" that I need to remove at least twice a week. I went from 125 lbs (56 kg) to 139 lbs (63 kg)! I can't fit into my clothes at all. My calves get so swelled during the day, I gave up wearing boots in winter and wearing skirts, because the look huge.
Right now, I'm having one of my "flairs". My right ovary is burning and so is the rest of my abdomen, urinary tract included.
Doctors are always happy with my results. And oddly enough my blood tests always come back normal. Hormones included, except the estrogen that seems to be on the (acceptably) lower side. I haven't tested my levels of DHT. (My doctors never prescribe that test. Well, they never prescribe the one for estrogen; I paid for that one myself a few weeks ago). Whenever I have an ultrasound they confirm the PCOS as well as the fact that my right ovary is enlarged. But they’re never worried.
My thyroid therapy seems to be off. My endo changed it two months ago, from levothyrox to euthyral (combination of T3 and T4). And I don't feel great. I always feel a lump in my throat. I'm experiencing lack of energy and enthusiasm (too little thyroid hormone), along with occasional heart palpitations (too much thyroid hormone). It was supposed to make me feel better and help the weight loss. It made me feel worse with the mixed symptoms of hypo and hyper thyroid.
I'm thinking about fasting (juice/water), going raw, eating only during 8H a day (mostly veggies nad fish), eliminating gluten all together.
My endorsement thickness is 6.4 mm at 13th day and right ovary small and left ovary follicles. is this normal?
we are trying for baby. My age is 29 .
Is it okay to have sex while you have cyst in your ovary?

View 1 RepliesI had a vasectomy in 2005. Pre surgery orgasm was amazing and shot far. Since then it feels boring and the semen only drizzles. Has anyone else had this issue? Why? It's been ten years since I've had a good orgasm. I'm only 42. Dr says it's mental.
