Re: Not for the pregnancy sensitive - last update

Kallie, please don't be sorry about posting pregnancy stuff on this
site. We are all women first, PCOS partners second and even if you have
never been pregnant you can still be supportive of others. I, too, got
pregnant unexpectantly in May of this year and miscarried at 8 weeks
(blighted ovum). I am lucky in that I have a 14 month old son but will
forever mourn the loss of my second child. Just remember that there are
treatments available now and getting pregnant is not an impossibility. I
was diagnosed 17 years ago and was told I would never have children of
my own and I proved them wrong. Just be positive and know that if it is
meant to be, it will happen. My thoughts and prayers are with you in
your time of loss.
