Jennifer,
I have had pcos symptoms for a very long time and was 29 before I was
diagnosed with it.
let me just tell you it is possible to have kids. I have been pg 4
times and have 3 girls. They are 14, 8, and 4 1/2. Some women do have
a much harder time and don't have kids but there are women with pcos who
have been able to have kids. I only took clomid one month and I
actually got pg that month. I am not sure if it was from the clomid or
not. Write down questions you have for you doc and the meds you are
wondering about. If yoiu don't get satsfaction, dont be afraid to
change docs! I waited soo long but then again i am now glad I did to get
the new endo I have. He just moved here from another state.
GOOD LUCK to you!!
Monica
