    Poly Cystic Ovaries and pregnancy

    Hi,
    Quick history- my first period i had i was 12 got them twice (6 months inbetween) it stayed this way until i was 15 and started putting on the weight My GP at the time advised i start the pill to make me regular which worked. I then had very heavy periods that would last 3-5 days after my pill started again. At 19 i fell preg on the pill and had a healthy baby boy. i suffer from weight problems and hair loss but GP said bloods didnt show any signs of PCOS.
    In Late january this year after TTC for over a year my GP sent me for an ultrasound that showed i have PCO after lots of blood work he found that i dont suffer from the syndrome(PCOS). My ovaries are covered in the small cysts and blood work showed i wasnt producing any progestrone which is why i dont release any egg. i was told that i would have great difficulty having another bubs without some kind of fertillity treatment.
    After taking a few progesterone tablets(which were supposed to make me have a period) one week later i had a small amount of bleeding that lasted a few hours (very minor, didnt think anything of it)
    After being severly sick (throwing up) for a week and a half and doc not knowing why he eventually did a preg test and came up that i was preg. Shocked and surprised my DP and i were over the moon.

    I was wondering will having PCO have any effect on my baby??? I was 4-6 weeks Over due with my first and i was told that labour is started by a hormone reaction or something, could this be why i was OD and will it mean i will be OD again???
