Im 16 and about a month my doctor told me I have PCOS and after she told me what it was and all that and said the chances of me having kids are okay to slim really crushed me:confused: I really want kids so bad. From what I understand from her telling me was that my body is producing male hormones insted of female...I dont know what to do...I go to the doctors on Friday the 20th to see if I can have kids or to see if anything can help. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

Just because you have PCOS doesn't automatically mean you can't have kids. I've had PCOS symptoms since I was 15, I'm 28 now and was just officially diagnosed. I have 2 children that I was able to conceive after taking Provera to induce a period.
Good luck!

Hi, I have pcos since, well from the start of my periods at age 16. I'm now 34 and have 3 children all concieved without any help. I only have 2, 3 periods a year. So don't panic as with you I was told I couldn't have children without hormone treatment. I proved them all wrong.

i just wanted to say i'm almost in the same situation...
i was diagnosed at age 12 and the doctors never explained it to me...
they just put me on birth control to regulate my cycle because i would get a period every three months or so
now at 16 i just recently i looked up what it actually was and i'm completely freaking out
i feel like i'm not a woman and looking at all these symptoms all the stuff i've gone through growing up makes so much sense and i'm so scared of not being able to have kids
i also how no idea who to discuss all of this with cause it's just very overwelming.

So sorry you have to go through this, but at least you have found a place to chat with others who suffer the same things you do.
I am 28, and was 25 when I was officially diagnosed with PCOS. I finally found a doctor who didn't just think my weight gain was all my fault because
I ate too much and excercized too little, he asked me questions about other things my periods and stuff, and when I revealed that I sometimes went a year or longer without a period, and had abnormal hair growth on my body, or sometimes bled for a length of time when I did have a period, he looked into PCOS and offered me some help. I was getting married soon thereafter, and he wanted to make sure that I would be able to have children when I wanted so I was put on metformin, and BC. A year later I came off the BC, and haven't been able to get pregnant yet, but now I am seeing a reproductive Endocriniologist, and he has offered some hope for me. I have just started clomid for the 1st time, and there are other options out there for you and me if this doesn't work. Don't give up hope. And make sure when you find a man to spend the rest of your life with that he loves you as you are on your worst days with PCOS and all it carries with it, and that he is supportive though what it may take to conceive a baby. My husband is a wonderful man and the greatest joy in my life. Good luck, and God bless.
