Yup, I've worried since I was 13, got diagnosed at 18 and am fretting like crazy. Doctors won't do anymore testing on me until my husband comes home and gets a sperm count done, so I am left sitting pretty until June wondering if it's me that's broken, or him. RAWR!

When I was younger I always said I wanted 5 kids. I havent been diagnosed yet with PCOS but I'm almost positive I have it. After reading about it, I'm so worried about being infertile because I really want to be a mom when I'm older.
same here. Except that I've always wanted 4 lol. But like the person that posted below you that I now cannot remember the username (sorry!), adoption is an option. I've always wanted to adopt too so I guess it kinda works out for me, but there are plenty of kids already brought into this world that don't have the loving mothers they deserve. So maybe if you can't conceive, you could give one of those children your love.
Don't give up though, pcos sucks and it makes lots of things difficult, but not impossible.
i whole heartedly agree with the article. When i found out I was devistated and it kinda ...in a way made me grow up faster because a realization of some of my dreams being shattered took a toll on me. That and being misinformed by my DR. I agree thank for posting.
i am 20 now and just got diagnosed, i knew something was wrong al along but i though maybe that is just me... i am worried too but my mom got diagnosed after she had 3 healthy kids soo i see hope in that... i worry more about the diabetes heartdecise cancer and all that stuff...
and all the facts that make life hard with PCOS... but i feel with you... got practically nobody to talk to about it... since i got diagnosed here in america but i am from germany... so i don´t know how that will all work out when i go back..
It is nice to know I'm not one of the few worried. I was diagnosed when I was 17 when I was admitted to the hospital in tears because of pain. I have a rare case where, instead of diabetes, I have Hypoglycemia, and my ovaries "torque" (twist themselves, not allowing fluid to release and causing major swelling). It causes so much pain I can't move, and I was told I probably wont be able to have kids because of the issues I have. Now I'm 19, and have a couple days each year when I'm in so much pain, I can't even move. No painkillers seem to help at all, and birth control has done nothing for me.
But it's great to know I'm not the only one worried about not being able to have kids when I'm older and ready.
It's so unfair that anyone ever have PCOS. Nobody deserves this pain.
I too have worried about not being able have kids (if I should want them someday). I'm more worried if I should be married and my husband wants kids and then I can't give him that.
When I found out that PCOS could affect fertility later in life, I was so bummed. I've always wanted kids and I can't imagine not being able to have one. I have maternal instinct coming out my ears! Hopefully catching my PCOS early will help me have kids later. Thanks for posting!
I never really put much thought into having kids until I got PCOS, and when I found out that I could have trouble conceiving, I cried myself to sleep that night. I've been told if I can't, then it's ok because I can adopt, but to me, there's nothing like having your own kid.
I completely agree. I totally respect those that do adopt, I'm just not sure that it is right for me. Like I said, I have always wanted at least one child, and it is hard to imagine not being able to have that.
Thanks so much for this post! I was diagnosed when I was 17 years old. The day I heard the words Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome was the day my life completely turned upside down. It was the summer after my junior year, I was going to be a senior and go off to college and start my life as an adult. That December my grandmother died and I was extremely close to her. Soon after that my boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me and I became so depressed. I started having anxiety attacks and was just really sick for a long time.
After I got to college however things started getting better. I was put on birth control pills the summer after my senior year because be and my mom were still trying to consider all of our options for treatment. All I could think about was that I was probably never going to have kids someday. Being young and vulnerable to emotional pain at the time all I could think of was the bad side of things. I met my current boyfriend in October of my first semester at college. Kyle made my like 100% better. We plan on getting married and having kids someday. He took the news so well when I told him. He was way more optimistic about having children than I was. So girls even tho I am still a teen I wanna give you some advice. PCOS is not the end of the world for you. I hope you all find the one for you someday and he is as understanding about you wanting children as Kyle is with me. God Bless all of you.

Im terrified about if I will be able to have children. My boyfriend and I are very serious about wanting children. He is very concerned about it having two cousins who have PCOS, one is bed ridden with 3 kids and the other never married and he is worried I will end up like one of them. I don't even know if there is anyway to tell if I can have children right now. I asked my doctor but he somewhat skirted the question. I lied and told him the doctor thinks I will be fine when really he told me not to worry since I am not currently trying to concive. Im only 20 I hate having to worry about this at this age, we can't even enjoy each other because we know deep down his family is very against me and him since I have PCOS. Its terrible.

It's true. At least for me it is. I was diagnosed when I was 10, but I only now started talking and letting out what I've been holding back. I was too young then, but now I do worry about having children, especially as I watch friends and family members go through it all. Their love and joy in that little baby is something I definately don't want to miss out on in my life.
