Need help or advice..

Hi mums, I was recently told I may have PCOS and I am worried about how it might affect my chances of getting pregnant. Has anyone here conceived after being diagnosed with PCOS? Would love to hear your experiences.

I haven't been through PCOS myself, but I know a few mums who got their diagnosis and still managed to conceive, so it's definitely not a closed door. That said, it's quite individual depending on how it's affecting your body, so I'd really encourage you to sit down with your gynae or PD to understand your specific situation and what the next steps might be for you. Many women do go on to have babies even with PCOS, but getting personalised advice from a doctor who knows your full picture will give you the clearest sense of what to expect and what options are available.

Yes, I conceived following a PCOS diagnosis. Having irregular periods and unpredictable ovulation made it tough, but Dr Wei-Wei Wee-Stekly guided me through the next steps and monitored my ovulation. If you're looking to get pregnant, I highly suggest consulting her—she really is the best. Having that support gave me so much peace of mind, and I’m so excited to be 3 months pregnant today!
