Any else have or had POCS?

Question

So today I went to the doctors because I’ve had irregular period and missed period and come to find out I have POCS (Polycystic ovary syndrome). Im a lil sad that I have this but I’m glad it can be fixed one thing I’m going to need to change is my diet. I’ve been so depressed because I just couldn’t lose weight and now I finally have my answer as to why I hope I can get this fixed ASAP so I can finally lose weight. Also has anyone else had this ? Could you give me any Advice on it ? Also we’re you able to have kids after ? I want kids just not now and I was so sad because I thought I would never be able to have any.

Answer

So I always suspected I PCOS i was riddled with cysts in my ovaries and every month one was always bursting and they hurt so bad. Once I had a hemorrhagic cyst. It also took dh and I 6 years to have our first and only baby. It wasn't until after I had him that my obgyn wanted me tested for pcos. The reason why is because right after I had him I was back to getting painful cysts and I gained an massive amount of weight while pregnant. ( I was 135 pre pregnancy and 215 when I had him). The doctor said my pregnancy kicked my pcos into high gear and I was insulin resistant. I take metformin now to help with the weight and my a1c levels. He is 2 now and im down to 129lbs.

Answer

I have PCOS, I’m 22. I don’t have a period at all. My dr started me on provera to get my period started and clomid to help me ovulate and I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd baby, it’s a lot scarier in the moment but there are ways to help all of the symptoms of it.. it’s just getting to know your body.

Answer

I have PCOS, I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby, he’s very healthy so far. We were trying for a few years before I learned what actually helped my cycles and what helped me get pregnant. 
I will say I naturally had a lot of success with regulating my cycles by exercising (mostly weight training, less cardio) and being on the Atkins diet. I lost weight quickly and in a healthy way and it really did help my cycles.
But what helped me get pregnant even after I gained the weight back (and then some) was taking Myo-inositol and Conception prenatals. My cycles went from 18-98 days to 30-40 days. And fertility awareness. Read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. She even includes a chapter on PCOS and endometriosis and other factors that can impact fertility.
