I'm just wondering if it is quite a normal thing for other PCOS sufferers to lose a lot of the symptoms during pregnancy and then when they're no longer pregnant for what ever reason, the symptoms come back suddenly in force! ???

I was enjoying feeling less cystic while i was pregnant even for the short time it was, but now today i've noticed loads of new annoying hair growth back in places it shouldn't be! and the mental mood swings are also back in vengeance.

I didnt know pregnancy would make that much of a difference to my symptoms, was it just me ??

What's going on now hormonally that's making it bad again?
I know my HCG levels are still about 400ish but they have halved in a few days so i know it's almost over, but what are the hormones doing now to trigger cystic over stimulation?

Thanks,

Sam

It isn't just you... my symptoms almost went away while I was pregnant and now they are back and it seems like they are worse than before...
The doctor told me to expect them to return but I didn't think they would come on so fast or strong. From everything I have heard it is normal though.

Hi - I just wanted to share that when I was pregnant, the symptoms of my PCOS in terms of hair growth i.e. above my lip pretty much disappeared and I felt great - much better hormonally etc. After the pregnancy, the symptoms creeped back in again.
