Help. what do I do ?

Question

So I went to my GYN because my periods are irregular like CRAZY. They ran test and said I have PCOS (  Polycystic ovary syndrome ) and it comes with risk such as difficulty getting pregnant , and I produce a little bit more man hormones then I should ( hairs on my chin )  I am close with my family and my aunt is a church lady. Her relationship with god is like solid. Back in October I was taking birth control but I stopped because I hated the spotting every day. My aunt randomly came out one day and said "Are you on birth control" I said no she said good don't go back on it. I was a bit confused but I said okay. A few days later me her and my mom were all in the room and reading up on PCOS. My aunt said she knew god told her for a reason to see if I'm on birth control or not. Because we don't know what may happen with me wanting a child. I am in a relationship and I told my boyfriend this yesterday and he seemed scared for me but also confused . My aunt said personally she feels like if I have a baby now she will support me 100% because you never know what may happen in the future. She isn't telling me plan a baby but if it happens it happens . I spoke to my bf about it and we are in college still but we thought about it for a while even before the news but we just weren't ready. But now that we know I have PCOS ; we wanna try in probably a year here's the catch . I'm 18 . What do I do because I don't wanna regret it in the future and can't have a baby lol idk . They also said if I see people around me having a baby I will feel miserable & depressed and it's crazy because my boyfriends sister is pregnant ( 19 ) & I told him I'm jealous because she is having a baby ... but idk if that was the sex talking lol ( yes we have protected sex ) I honestly don't know what to do . Any suggestions ??

Answer

I have pcos and they told me I wouldn't be able to get pregnant. I have a three month old son. My sister in law was told the same thing, she has pcos as well. Three kids under three. It is generally more difficult to conceive with pcos, but don't run out and get pregnant just because you're scared you won't be able to later. Finish school first, make sure you're on the same page with your spouse and then worry about it.

Answer

I have pcos, my doctor said I wouldn't get pregnant without fertility drugs
-my husband and I decided to try because we didn't know how long it would be, or if I could get pregnant, and I got pregnant in two months!! I'm 28. I wouldn't risk it at your age but it's up to you.

Answer

Start with weight loss and a healthy diet (I'm not saying that you are overweight, but usually PCOS comes with obesity). You can look up PcOS diet, which is mostly targeted to decrease insulin levels in your body, which counteract fertility hormones. So, cut out bad carbs and processed foods. Eat lots of vegetables and fruit (moderately). Do some cleanse, exercise... and the rest will come. 
Do that for a year or so and then reevaluate PcOs. Btw, going on birth control is very helpful in normalizing hormonal balance. I understand that your aunt is very religious, but from medical stand point, you will greatly benefit from oral birth control pills.

Answer

Just do what you think it's best! I'm 19 and pregnant with me first on purpose. I'll be 20 before it's born. I had two miscarriages and wanted to try because I didn't know how many more times something would go wrong. I'm 13 weeks now and so far so good.
