[joanna9758]

Hi everyone im Jo and new to this so here’s a bit about me

I was diagnosed with pcos in feb this year my gyn put me on metformin and clomifene which I took with my march cycle cause I was so irregular I was not sure of when my next bw would be it got to the point where it had been over 4 weeks since the last 1 hadn’t been feeling to bad felt a bit sick sore boobs loss of apatite so I decided to to a test on Monday which was a bfp I couldn’t believe it so done another 1 tues again bfp so I have been to see my doc and have another app next week.

I am 24 and this is my 1st pregnancy it still hasn’t sunk in yet and I don’t think it will till I have had an u/s and see the baby for myself according to my dates my due date is 19th dec

I am very scared and excited at the same time and would be great full of any advice that any of you could give me

Thanks in advance Jo

Welcome to Bubhub, Jo.

I was diagnosed with PCOS almost a year ago. Now 5 months pg. It's wonderful to hear how quickly the meds worked for you. YAY! :yelclap: I didn't have any meds to help me fall pg, so I can't give you advice from that point of view.

I think you should do what you want to confirm the pregnancy(bloods, u/s, ...), then go about enjoying it! :D As far as I am aware there is no difference between a PCOS pregnancy and one without PCOS. Although.... I think I heard there is a slightly higher risk of gestational diabetes as one of the factors of PCOS is insulin resistance - a pre-diabetic condition. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's wrong.

Enjoy! Congratulations!

first of all congrats jo
second of all this may seem like a stupid question but what is pcos

[draught]

poly cystic ovary syndrome.

I have/had it - needed clomid to fall pregnat with DD1. DD2 was a weaning accident and #3 was conceived the night we talked about it happening - so all things are possible in this world!

Good luck. Enjoy your pregnancy. Take some vitamins, talk to your doctor, and relax and enjoy the wonder of becoming a mum!
