PCOS... Why me??!

Question

Anyone else with PCOS scared that they might not get pregnant or it might take a very long time for them to get pregnant?

I am turning 20 and live with my partner.

We've never tried conceiving because I want to finish my degree first and we both want to be emotionally and financially ready when we do.

My period I guess you could say becoming regular. It's been 4 months since it's been regular.

My problem is my weight. I've gained a lot of weight due to some personal reason.

I am sooo scared that I will never have a baby or it might take looonng for me to.

None of my families have this and in fact they all have more than 5 kids!!

Every time I think about it I get emotional and without even noticing tears just falls down my cheeks.

I don't know what I've done to deserve this.. silly me as sometimes I even question my Heavenly Father why ME?!

I love kids. I love my partner and our families love us and all get along. I want many kids, I want little me's and little matt's (my bf)

It scares me. A lot.

I don't ever want anyone else go through what PCOS people go through. What I go through.

Hey hun hang in there! You are not alone.  Use the search function at the top of the forum and look for "pcos success stories". A lady recently asked for some success stories from those with lcos because she needed hope. And she wasnt alone, i think alot of us pcos gals needed hope.  Take a read through them.  Dont give up yet - you havent even started trying, so you dont know yet - you could be one of the lucky ones who dont have to try too hard.

Focus on yourself right now, having a healthy body and mind play a big part in getting pregnant. And its not just weight - there are plenty of us that are overweight but healthy.

I have PCOS and im 35. I got a bfp last year so i know i can get pregnant.  Don't lose hope :)

I have PCOS and my husband and I have been on fertility treatment now for 3 cycles... cycle 3 is coming to a close. Science will be on your side. Just watch what you eat! Low carb is the best diet to be on for PCOS and ask for metformin!

I have PCOS. went off BC in October of 2015.  Started trying for a baby Jan of 2016 and got pregnant in march. My son was born in November. Now we are trying for another. Don't lose hope as I was told as a teenager it would be very hard for me to get pregnant without hormones and I did it on my own!

Hey I've got pcos and my partner has retrograde ejyactulation so we had a double whammy. However I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant so it is still possible. Just keep the faith.

Answer

I have PCOS. I was exercising and in the best shape of my life, regular periods and all of a sudden with no lifestyle changes I gained 60 pounds in two months and lost my period. 
It took me about a year to get diagnosed because nobody believed the weight gain wasn't my fault. Finally an endocrinologist took me seriously.
After being on birth control for one year and getting my weight under control, my husband and I decided to get off of it because we figured it would take me years to get pregnant. That first month off, I started taking prenatals and cut out caffeine. I got pregnant the same month, and am now sitting here at 31 weeks having my 3 hour glucose test lol.
My biggest advice is to do your best to get the weight down. It was hard for me because I became depressed, after doing nothing wrong I ballooned up like that. Secondly, I heard that most women with PCOS are highly likely to conceive the first month coming off the birth control pill. And I do think taking the prenatal helped.
