Can someone with PCOS get pregnant??

I have a sibling that is suffering from PCOS. She has been married for awhile and she has been told that she will never concieve a child. She has been taking hormone pills to balance her hormones but now has been off of it for over 6 months. She prehaps has more testosterone hormones than estrogen. She has no cyst in her ovaries. She has irregular periods but now have been regular. She has very heavy bones because she is Samoan/Hawaiian so she weighs about 280 and she is 26 yrs old. What are her possibilities of having a child?? and is CLOMID a good medication for her to start off with if physician allows?? What are her other opitions beside ADOPT or IVF???

Yes it is possible.  I am non cystic PCOS  and I have 5 kids.  But keep in mind that each case is different.  The one thing I would recommend is that she needs to make sure her Dr is a reproductive endocrinologist.  They are the ones who know best how to deal with PCOS and its many different symptoms and peculiarities.

Godd luck to her.

I am 55 years old now and had a hysterectomy when I was 38 years old due to PCOS.  However, I did have 2 children.  Both of them were unexpected, and after years of trying.  So don't give up hope!

I was told January 2006 that I have PCOS "Lite" (the metabolic version w/o the actual cysts on the ovaries).  I was told that it would be extremely difficult for me to get pregnant, if at all possible.  I was a little heavier than I am now (I was 312 then), completely irregular, almost non-existant cycles.  I did, however, get pregnant in November 2007 naturally.  It was a complete surprise.  I'd lost around 20 lbs, and I know that is why it happened.  I lost that baby just 7 weeks into the pregnancy.  I spent a year mourning the loss and decided that I was OK with not having kids since it was obviously not meant to be.  I started focusing on me and again lost weight...around 35 lbs.  In August 2009 at 271 lbs (a month before my 31st birthday), I got pregnant with my daughter who is now a happy healthy 15 month old.  After the miscarriage, I went to a fertility specialist on the advise of my then Gyn.  They told me the process they would follow...it involved clomid or a similar alternative, shots, tests upon tests, and IVF.  I wanted no part in any of it.  If it wasn't going to happen on it's own, it wasn't going to happen.

I guess what I'm trying to say, when they doctors push weight loss down our throats, sometimes, it really is the solution.  Even as simple as 20lbs can make a world of difference in your hormones and start moving things back where they should be.

I wish her the best of luck!

Thank you all for your stories and advice...I shared your stories with her and she is determine to lose some weight and try this for a yr or two. If this doesn't work she will turn to clomid. She will see a repoduction endocrinologist. I will be by her side every step of the way.
