my sister has pcos and was only able to get pregnant with ivf. you can get pregnant naturally with pcos but it is more difficult because ovulation is unpredictable and irregular and the quality of your eggs can be affected by the pcos which can result in it being harder to conceive if you were to ovulate.

I have PCOS, I’ve been trying for 6 years and I’m now waiting for my first infertility appointment. I do know people who have PCOS that have been able to conceive naturally but they’ve tried for years so it is possible. Everyone is different.

I have PCOS. Started trying early 2020. 1 miscarriage late 2020 and pregnant again now 🙏 We conceived naturally both times but had to do a lot of tracking to find ovulation.

I have PCOS .. I was on metformin to help to conceive as my periods was really all over the place, ended up going to the doctors to have a blood test done on first day of my period and three weeks after ( I’m 35 day cycle) to see if I had ovulated to check my levels 2 weeks later I got my positive test result as I was tracking my ovulation with apps but nothing was working Xxx

I have PCOS. It took one year to try to get pregnant. My cycles are all over the place so I had to track my ovulation via the ovulation tests. Don’t go by any apps…. They only work for people with regular cycles. I spent many months going by that so I may have got pregnant before then.

I had 'borderline' PCOS and got pregnant first try 🙈

No, I have PCOS, diagnosed at 15 and told that I’d need medical intervention to have a baby. I had an unplanned pregnancy, even after taking the morning after pill. I also had a chemical pregnancy, despite being on oral contraceptive. I lost a significant amount of weight, which is known to help. However, my periods were still incredibly irregular. Last period before falling pregnant with my son was early July, he was conceived in November.

I’ve had PCOS for 15+ years. When I met my husband and we decided to TTC - I used the Tempdrop arm band to track BBT, ovulation strips for LH and pre-seed during intercourse. Just delivered my little boy two weeks ago.

Not true... Women with pcos can become pregnant and go on to have successful pregnancies. I have pcos and endometriosis and I have a beautiful 6 year old. I know the feelings of jealousy and dispair and rage. I'd given up when I fell pregnant. But is possible. Please take care of yourself xox

I have PCOS, tried for 5 years and had 4 miscarriages. Stopped trying and 5 years later got pregnant. Unexpected and unassisted. It was a huge surprise. (Same partner). Now on track for an April birthdate.

Infertility is one of the more severe symptoms not everyone that has PCOS has fertility issues. Some people have worse symptoms and issues caused by PCOS. I have PCOS (confirmed by both blood work and ultrasound) and was so worried that because I have PCOS I would struggle to have children. We started trying for a baby right away after the wedding. I got married in august and at the end of September I found out I was pregnant.

I have the same issue PCOS and endometriosis. I'm 40 yrs old been trying for years to get pregnant no luck😔.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
