Success stories with having a healthy pregnancy

[Citizenerased83]

Hi

I would love to hear success stories from women with pcos who've successfully had a baby. If you've also got thyroid issues that would be helpful to know too.

Thank you! X

Hi, I have had a healthy pregnancy and baby and I have PCOS. Periods have always been irregular and I have lots of other symptoms of PCOS. I wasn’t ovulating due to PCOS so I had IVF and was successful on the 4th embryo transfer. No thyroid issues but I was tested for all that type of stuff x

Thanks so much Greyeverything. Congrats on your baby. I'm having IVF too - have had two miscarriages and an unsuccessful FET cycle. Had some blood tests and will have blood thinning injections this time around. Did you have any other medications other than the standard IVF drugs? Thanks again x

So the FET that worked I had blood thinning injections so finger crossed it does the trick for you too! It was the only thing we changed and it was successful. I had no other medications apart from that and normal ivf drugs x

Hi 😌, I have PCOS on both ovaries, very poor ovulation (once to three times a year). It took us 3 years to get Clomid through NHS 4 years ago, was desperate, Covid happened and got pregnant "naturally" 2 months after having stopped the medication. I was 37. Now I have a two years and a half girl. 😌 We have been trying for a second baby for a year now, unfortunately ovulation induction did not work and I am about to start IVF. Everything is possible. I wish you the best of luck 🤞🤞

Sorry it was such a struggle to get clomid. You really shouldn't have had to go through that. I'm glad you've got your daughter. Good luck with ivf. I'm also doing ivf so feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you and good luck to you too. x

Hello I'm 30 years old I have pcos and endometriosis! Double whammy against me. I have two sons, healthy pregnancies (accept I developed pre eclampsia final week of first pregnancy). My sons were healthy, no problems. No fertility treatments etc I was very worried also as I had trouble getting pregnant for 7 years but then out the blue I got pregnant with my first and my second followed very quickly without trying. Never give up hope. I have two conditions that affect pregnancy and here I am today with my boys. Stay positive

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my message. I really appreciate it.

I'm so glad you have your sons despite pcos and endo.

Thank you for giving me hope. Xxx

Hello,

I had a healthy pregnancy for most of the time. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravitarium during my first trimester, but this condition is hereditary and not related to PCOS. My cicles are between 28 and 40 days, being the most common 35 days. I used to be worried about pregnancy, however I got pregnant on my second month of trying.

I have lots of symptoms of PCOS but I do not have obesity or overweight, diabetes, insuline resistance.

I personally feel like PCOS has not had an impact on my fertility journey at all.

I hope this is useful!
