I guess I’m really just looking for a bit of reassurance. I was diagnosed in 2017 and I’m now 24. I was switched to the Rigevidon pill and it has given me very regular periods. I am lucky that I do not really suffer with excessive hair/weight gain. I’m just a bit concerned that I’m covering up an issue and it’s going to be difficult to get pregnant. I’m not looking to have a baby yet so I don’t want to spend years worrying over nothing, but i can’t help but worry when I won’t really know if there’s a problem until I try.

The pill helps your hormones with PCOS and I believe the bleeding also helps with the lining of your womb keep ready for a baby. I never had periods off the pill and I wasn't diagnosed until after 25, even though I had mentioned it to doctors they never seemed to think it was an issue me not having periods. I'm now in my 30s and have periods and have been pregnant naturally. All I would recommend is as soon as you are ready, start trying. The younger the better really, as if you do find any issues you will have more more time to sort those issues. I wasn't that hairy or big in my 20s, and doctors said I didn't look like I had PCOS but when my ovaries was checked I did. Recently I've been having regular periods and the PCOS on my ovaries had gone. I don't know why this has happened but I guess it can correct itself too.All I will say don't worry about something you can't control. Many people with pcos have children. Eating well and having a health life style helps.
