PCOS and high risk

Hi girls, has anyone managed to be moved from high risk to low risk with PCOS?? I found out today whilst doing my birth plan that I’m down as high risk, even though I’ve been told the whole time I’m low 😪 gutted as I can’t give birth on the midwifery led unit as it stands. She’s said I can have a consultant phone call to see if they are happy to “release me” to the midwives so crossing my fingers for that. Has anybody experienced this?? 🥲

With my first pregnancy I was high risk because of a spinal issue but the consultant immediately released me back to midwives because it made no difference to baby/birth. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't release you if they've effectively been treating you as low risk this whole time 🤔

What makes PCOS a high risk condition for birthing? What are the risks?

I have PCOS and was low risk until I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes xx

makes sense it is not pcos per se it is the insulin resistance that can results from pcos

I honestly have no idea, the whole time they’ve told me I’ve been low risk?!! I’ll have to call back and question it?

I’ve got PCOS and have had it with both pregnancies and never been labeled as high risk, I’d pick up with your consultant or midwife to understand the reasoning x

They love to put everyone as high risk. You can decline consultant led care and say ‘I am making an informed decision to be midwife led’, all care is optional and they can’t tell you what to do

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

Ovulation

If I had sex yesterday (Saturday) n my ovulation date is on Tuesday is it possible I could get pregnant?

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise

Could this be like my ovulation is about to start from this ovulation test

I had my period on the 15 of march and my cycle is 23 days from the picture will be that I’m ovulating

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.
