i dont want to take drugs, to get pregnant, i may end up with octuplets, and i wouldnt be able to handle that.
and the thing is... im having trouble with my treatments, because im very forgetful. i keep forgetting my medicines, or i will eat something im not supposed to anymore, because i dont think about it til its too late. i have no one to help me, so i dont have much hope for myself at all.

You don't have to worry about that. I don't think there has been 8 babies born at once anymore than three times. It is very rare.
Besides - if you did - you get free diapers, food and everything for life. LOL I think the families were even given new homes.

But really - don't worry about it.
And please - do not give up hope on yourself.
If you ever need to talk pm me.

I was so worried about not being able to have kids! i love babies and children and really want to have kids when i'm older.

I act like a mum to my neice and other kids when i'm around them. i feel like i'm meant to be a mother at some stage.

When the doctor said to me some people get worried about not being able to have kids I said that i was and then she looked at me like i was crazy! she hadn't finished her sentence, the end of it was Older people that is.

I think that more counselling would be good because as we all know depression is a side effect to pcos. I get depressed a lot and it's really unbelievable that people don't notice. I actually get angry when no one notices i'm depressed. I think of all those other teenagers who are depressed and so close to suicide and no one even notices!

I better stop i'm getting angry now thinking about it!

Thanks for posting that Kat!
Talk to everyone soon,

Whenever I hold my new little cousins everyone says that to me. I always sit with them for hours and dream that they are mine. LOL

Thats really sweet! I know exactly what you mean! when i hold her i think about what it would be like if she was mine! I love kids. I'm minding her for the day next monday and i can't wait to take her out and show her off!

I really think it's great that we can all share our experiences and thoughts on this site. It makes everything so much easier to handle!

JEN 312 - dont listen to your doc she/he is just trying to put the problem off until it comes back again, one less thing for them to worry about, think about it in 4/5 yrs when you go back and do have troubles TTC it could take yrs for them to poss sort it IF they can as it may be to late, act now, like i am, i may be young but i am doing everything in my power at the moment to get all my fertility issues sorted out...i spent to much time worrying about it when really i should have been acting on it!

i never had any child hood at all from age 11 all this hair started growing etc was a horrible experience....never mind that im going to go into a rant

will stop myself though....please just go ASAP n dont let them put you off

i have not read through all of this post, but just reading the first few replies i was amazed at how similar my feelings are to many of those shared. for so long i have felt wrong and kinda weird for wanting children so much and being so worried about it. ever since my periods began i have had problems and by the age of 13 i was on the pill to control them. i have now been off it for eight months and have not had a period since. i worry all the time that when the time comes for me to have children i will not be able to. i love kids and like many of u i also feel like it was my purpose in life to be a mum. of course a career is important to me but having children is my most important goal in life and if i couldnt have them i would be devastated. doctors dont seem to take my concerns seriously, and they go around telling me i will find it hard to become pregnant and may need to undergo fertility treatments like its some common cold. its nice to find people who can finally understand and share the same concerns that i have felt so alone with for years.

I was diagnosed at 15, but had irregular periods since I started my period. At one point my doctor wanted me to have a hysterectomy. Thank goodness I refused. While my friends dreamed of becomeing vets, doctors, lawyers, etc. I dreamed of being a mom. I dreamed of PTA meetings, making beds, and little ones crawling in bed with me after a bad dream. How could it be that I would be denied my dream. All my early doctors told me that my chances to have a baby were quite slim. I went through most of my teenage years without much purpose b/c I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life if my only real ambition was squashed.

To my teen cysters who are worried about future infertility, there's hope and treatment. More and more doctors are becoming aware of PCOS and treatment options for it. You guys have Soul Cysters, too. Thare is a wealth of knowlege here that put you ahead of the game. Some of our cysters know more than the doctors who treat them. Knowledge is an advantage, one I wish I had years sooner. Keep yourselves educated and spend your time thinking about the probability that you can have children based on the advances that are being made.

My doctor keeps telling me not to worry that if I can't have kids I can adopt or another sugestion was just have pets.... I tought he was really iconsiderate saying that, adopting in my view is nothing like having your own kid

LaurAnnHere · 07-21-2005, 11:22 PM

I was happy to have a child any way I could. Adoption is not as easy as that. It's also very expensive. I know that the way I would love my child would be the same. I would just wish that I could experience pregnancy and giving birth. I wanted to know what it was like to feel my baby kick inside of me. I even wanted to know what it felt like to be in labor and push your baby out into the world. I'm so glad I got to do it.

Leany · 07-21-2005, 11:33 PM

I would consider adoption but that was if I couldn't be able to have a kid of my own

_xSamix_ · 08-11-2005, 07:59 AM

i dont want to say i want kids in case i cant have them.
so i guess when the time comes (if it does) i'll consider all options, i dont think theres one i would rule out.
but i would really like to foster one day, its something i've always wanted to do

Cc Solitaire · 10-08-2005, 02:34 PM

I am 13 and I have just found out that I have PCOS. and now after having a scan to confirm it, they found a lump outside my uterus and... Well, it's proberbly endometriosis. So i have no chance of having kids and it is all i've dreamed of since i was about 2 years old. so that dream is out the window.

sucks!!!!!

philp87 · 03-16-2006, 05:55 PM

i have been with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years, when i found out i had pcos i stopped using contraception because why prevent something that might never happen anyway. i am in a stable relationship and a brillliant job and have my own house so if i did fall pregnant i would be over joyed, but its been 8 months now since i stopped contraception so i have pretty much accepted that i wont concieve naturally, as i dont have irregular periods i get them on the same date every month

Princess_Phoenix21 · 07-26-2006, 04:37 AM

Hello. My name is Jessica.
