Sounds like that Dr needs to go back to Med School, because he is totally wrong. Difficulty in conceiving - probably, but she is not infertile. I would have been devastated if I was told that at 19.
Whats worse is that she probably thinks she wont need contraception.

There are plenty of doctors who say the wrong things, sending women into bad emotional states. A doctor did that to me - diagnosed me with possible PCOS, told me it would be difficult for me to conceive, I'd need medical assistance.... cue me in tears and a complete state for ages. Until I saw another doctor who told me the first doctor had run blood tests for hormone function whilst I was on the pill (doh!) and that they didn't count. The frigging idiot. I felt like an idiot as well, but I'm not the one with a medical degree. Google doesn't count.
I suggest she see another doctor. PCOS is one thing. Conception is another. It may make things more difficult, it may not. Everyone is different. I hope she's not too distraught.
btw - was the diagnosis made with blood tests and ultrasound? Normally it involves an ultrasound of the ovaries.

Yeah, she had an ultrasound and some BT. She is getting a second opinion on how to manage it too. What a d*ck!

What an idiot GP. If it helps I was put on the pill by my fs during the time I wasn't trying to conceive to protect my bone health as my cycles were so irregular. There was never any mention of it making me infertile!

Doncha love idiot Drswhen my DH and I went to the medical centre to get the results of his semen analysis, the Dr looked them up on the computer and said "well you'll never have children"... And nothing else...
He was wrong obviously! (check my sig)
