PCOS & TTC success stories

Long story cut kind of short... I just got back from DR and have been told that it's likely that I have PCOS.

Myself & my partner are planning for pregnancy and I originally went to the DR for irregular periods after going 4 months without a period (I was never any good at tracking them but that's the longest amount of time i've been without one). I was sent for a full blood test which DR said at the time came back "normal" then coincidently my period made an appearance!

So after going back to the DR she sent me for a 21 day progesterone blood test on day 21 of my cycle. I was worried that day 21 was not the right day to go considering I was still bleeding on day 16 & I don't know when my next period is so how do I know that's the right time to check I ovulated?! But I went anyway and just got back from DR to speak about the results. It was a locum DR not my normal one as she is on holiday and I feel like she didn't break it down to me she just told me what was what but was very vague in-between mumbling. She said my progesterone levels were less than 2 which means I did not ovulate, and testosterone was a little high? She said it was likely to be PCOS but I am being sent for an abdominal and transvaginal scan to confirm and that was that.

The first thing I think of when I hear that I may have PCOS was that I will not be able to have children, when really, I know it's not true. I know it's possible, and thats why the first thing I have done is come on here as I want to hear your success stories.

I was just diagnosed as pco/pcos. I've been ttc for 18 months, but I did manage two chemical pregnancies. Some people have very little trouble conceiving and other with pcos need serious intervention with ivf and everything in between!

Sorry for what you're going through.
