Little/no milk flow

I don't know why I'm worrying now as I'm not even pregnant yet but......

When I had DS, I discovered after his weight kept plummeting that I had very little milk. Even the HV suggested I start giving him formula I was not prepared for this and found it incredibly upsetting.

I still think about it all the time and of course DS is a lovely, very healthy little boy and I have nothing against formula but I feel like my chance to BF was taken away from me .
Anyway, I've since found out, through desperately TTC again for 10 months now that I have PCOS which apparently can affect milk production. You can either have too much or too little. I'm now really worried in case this happens again with the next baby. I'm desperate to BF properly. Is there something I'll be able to take to help? Please tell me all is not lost!
