Ok so I realize that pcos makes it hard to conceive because of our less than cooperatitive cycles, but no doc has ever really explained why women with pcos have an extra hard time, and complications when pregnant....
he tested my fertility rate(bloodwork!) and said it was good, and maybe all we would need to do when the time was right is try some meds and boom be ok! Does anyone know more about why ttc is hard for us, and is there a hurry to do it young?
We are also more likely to have problems with the uteris or tubes.
(blockages,unstable uterine lining)
Also cystic ovaries cause several dif problems.
The main one is hormone fluctuations.When the ovarie's hormones are off it causes too much testosterone and/or estrogen/progestin.
Then factor in the IR factor. When a woman has insulin resistance, that can mess up how all the hormones work together.Causing no O'ing among other things.
It is so hard. So many dif things can go wrong.
The reason we have trouble getting treatment is because they can't find exactly what is out of wack.

Have you TTC without meds? I don't mean IR or Diabetes meds, but have you tired without fertility treatments? Some doctors want women to try without that first (my doc), but if your cycles are not right, then dissregard this PCOS women in my family usually don't have messed up cycles.
If/when you DO get pregnant, get to an OB ASAP, have them test your progesterone levels, and have them prescribe progesterone supplementation (usually Prometrium). I'd insist on using the progesterone until the lab results came back.
Amounts may vary - I had to insert 200mg twice a day into my vagina. This makes sure that there's enough progesterone in your uterus to support the pregnancy until the placenta takes over (we're at higher risk of miscarriage). You would have to keep doing it until about 10 weeks, give or take.
Also, keep VERY careful track of how you're feeling. If ANYTHING seems wrong, call/go to the doctor or the ER. We're also at higher risk of preterm labor (I believe that this includes incompetent cervix, since so many of us here have it).
In fact, I'd find an OB/GYN who's familiar with preterm labor and incompetent cervix BEFORE I got pregnant. That way, you won't have to jump for the first doctor you find in the yellow pages.
If you're seeing an RE, they may be able to recommend someone.

The reason some may psh to have kids at a younger age is because the older we get the more can go wrong with cycles,IR,diabeties,massive weight gain, thyroid issues and a few others that my fogged brain can't recall at the moment.
PCOS'ers also stand a higher chance of developing endometreosis due to hormone problems (high estrogen can trigger endo)
