PCOS and about 5 weeks pregnant. (Needing support)

I was diagnosed with PCOS back in February 2021. Me & my partner were ttc for over 2 years and thought it would never happen naturally. Then in July this year found out I was 12 weeks pregnant while being referred for IVF! I am now currently 34+5 with our naturally conceived baby and the count down is on till we meet our little one🩵 I can completely relate to you, easier said then done, but try to remain positive! Have a balanced diet and try not to let anything stress you out x

@Ryer omg you just saved me so much stress you don’t even know. Everyone I know personally with PCOS has had multiple (minimum 2) miscarriages before they finally had one stick. I was getting so scared 😭

I think once we’re diagnosed with PCOS and we hear others experience with it we tend to think the worst due to what we’ve heard and read. But I’m hindsight all our bodies will react differently although we may have similar symptoms with PCOS. Me personally have never been pregnant or miscarried prior! I hope all goes well for you🩵

I have PCOS and tried and tried for years to have a baby well I finally got pregnant 10plus years later and I had a great perfect pregnancy and now have a wonderful 12 month old 🩷🩷 congratulations 🎉🎈 don't stress to much and enjoy this journey and trust your in your body to do what it's meant to do 🩷🩷🩷

My little one is 2y now! But we did have 2 miscarriage first. I would just advise you to have the doctor check your hormone levels a few times near the beginning. (My issue was low progesterone, so I had to take meds for that during the first trimester). Good luck!!

We did conceive naturally I had an appointment for April and found out in March I was pregnant !! Wanted to add I'm 38 😉 also !!!

I was diagnosed back in October 2014 have 3 healthy girls and pregnant with baby boy now. Try and keep your stress levels down.

I have PCOS and had exactly the same fears of miscarriage, especially in the first 12 weeks! This is my first pregnancy and I am currently 37+4 with a very healthy and active girl - and I’ve been blessed with a very healthy pregnancy too!! Congratulations and enjoy every minute 💕

I was diagnosed when I was 13, when I was 17 I accidentally got pregnant but miscarried 7 weeks in. It took me another 14 years before I conceived another child. Not that I was trying that entire time but just a glimpse of the timeline. Last year I did medicated Cycles was not ovulating and was about to do an IUI but while I was waiting for my period to come I naturally got pregnant. My daughter was born in May. And we have been blessed again I'm 9 weeks pregnant so far so good. I feel the same fears however you just got to take it one day at a time for today you are pregnant and allowed to be excited. I learned during my last pregnancy that that fear could easily take away every moment of joy I no easier said than done.

@Justine and that’s something my mom told me. Worrying and obsessing over every little sign of miscarriage isn’t going to make the loss any easier if I do happen to lose this baby. I’ve just been trying to focus on that and my baby rather than worrying about losing him/her. Yesterday I saw their heartbeat the first time and all my worries melted away and I just laid there crying 🥹 I have very high hopes now that I will carry to term. They said this pregnancy was a miracle and miracles don’t get stripped away like that. (My ovaries are COVERED in cysts from lack of ovulation. I’ve only had 2 periods this whole year.)

@Sarah I completely understand, both of these pregnancies have been high risk this one especially as everything awful that happened in my first is already happening early on in pregnancy so I have to be very careful. I definitely hit the crap of the genetic Lottery. My therapist told me a good Mantra is I'm pregnant today and I'm allowed to feel Joy.

@Justine I’m so sorry. Thank you so much for that mantra! I’ll definitely repeat that to myself when I start to feel stressed or anxious.

I have PCOS and got pregnant our first mint trying when I was 31. Had a perfect pregnancy :-)

Diagnosed since 16, have never been on birth control and pregnant and now currently 34 weeks. I vaped and drank up until 5 weeks oregant just due to the fact I had no clue and completely stopped straight away, took vitamins and saw my midwife. It’s ok to be a little nervous, pregnancy can be terrifying at the start I know I was petrified because I was scared she’d pass but if you follow the basic rules and precautions I’m sure your baby will be okay and you’ll be a great mum 🥰
