hello,

I just got diagnosed with PCOS today and the only thing i'm really worried about is fertility.

I'm only 20 but i have dreams of having several children one day in the not so near future and it's upsetting me that this might be dificult and stressful.

I was just wondering how big a problem fertility is and what other peoples experiences are?

Hi Fairofface: There are many treatments that a good GYN or fertility specialist can provide. Ther is no 100% guarantee as every person's body and every person's PCOS can differ.

I would make sure you see your GYN regularly for annual check-ups/paps. And when the time comes he/she will surely be able to put you on the right path.

Many women with PCOS have been able to conceive and have healthy pregnancies and babies. I wouldn't worry now too much. Who knows, by the time you are ready to become a mom, there may be even more ways for the medical community to help.

Hang in there and don't neglect your overall health. I wish you the very best now and in the future. cmpgirl
