So the last two years I've had irregular periods and there were times I didn't have one for months. I went to several doctors and they said it's normal and birth control would fix it. I've also been having trouble losing weight and gained a lot of weight these past two years. My doctor finally said...

So the last two years I've had irregular periods and there were times I didn't have one for months. I went to several doctors and they said it's normal and birth control would fix it. I've also been having trouble losing weight and gained a lot of weight these past two years. My doctor finally said I have PCOS. I've done some research and I'm worried I won't be able to conceive in the future. My FH's parents constantly ask when we are having kids and they want a lot of grandchildren. It's been making me very uncomfortable lately. Anyone that have PCOS have trouble getting pregnant? Also any tips in general on dealing with it? I'm not sure if it can go away or not..

Thanks in advance Smiley smile

PCOS- is polycystic ovarian syndrome. In case someone doesn't know. I didn't even know what this was until a few weeks ago.

    PCOS can make it more difficult to conceive but not impossible.

    Speak to your gynecologist and ask for resources.

    My mom has it and had 3 kids very easily. One miscarriage, but she had no trouble conceiving. I think everyone is different!

    I had PCOS as a teen, but through medication and diet and a little exercise I lost a ton of weight and it was no longer a problem by my late 20's. Unfortunately in my early 30's I found out I am diabetic, but it's genetic (type 1) so as much as it sucks that I lost all that weight to avoid these problems (type 2 is also prevalent in my family) I am still dealing with them and I am back on metformin.

    As far as pregnancy, I'm still not sure if problems from my younger years will be a problem if we decide to try for kids.
