Hi,
I have PCOS, it is really scary when you first get diagnosed, and can be quite devastating, you feel like a bit of a failure as a woman.
I have two children, but they were born before I was diagnosed and before I had all the problems with AF, hair, pimples etc etc etc. What are your other symptoms? In saying that I had two children pre PCOS, I fell pregnant last year with twins which turned out for one to be ectopic and one uterine and lost both of them, so yes you can still fall pregnant (not a bad effort considering, no AF for months at a time), unfortunately mine did not have a happy ending, but I was told it was not to do with the PCOS.
There are plenty of women who go on to have happy healthy bubs with or without reproductive treatment. They may try a variety of things and treatments, medications, not to insult you I do believe, if you need to, by losing a few kilos can kick your cycle into drive (I certainly need to) as if you have PCOS it makes it hard to loose weight, some women do have fertility treatment ie clomid, etc, some women also try alternative therapy. Be guided by what your doctor says.
The best thing is now you have a diagnosis you can start to treat it, and start on the road to having a baby.
There is a great thread on the forum called "PCOS - what's your story" in the Endo and PCOS section, the girls here are great and a huge support, ask any questions or vent.
Good luck
Meagan
