pregnancy,pcos and obesityFrom: Trista (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 27 Nov 2000 17:13:40 -0600 (CST)
Hello all!! For anyone not familiar with my story, in a nutshell, I have suffered from PCOS for about 7 years now. I have an 8-year-old son, and I was not diagnosed with PCOS until my son was 1 and my husband and I were trying to conceive again. I am 5'2" tall and currently weigh 240 lbs. I have a total cholesterol of 240, my triglycerides are high and I just recently was told by my doctor to start a low-sodium diet as my blood pressure readings have been high.(I also have periods that don't come for months at a time and then are heavy from 2-4 weeks at a time, abnormal hair growth, skin tags,etc.) I really want to have another baby if I could, and my doctor has mention Clomid to me before; however, I am afraid of what being pregnant along with all my other health problems would mean. I have seen other postings on here from PCOS women who are "obese" by medical standards and I was wondering if they are considered "high risk" pregnancies and what complications could arise. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. I have not asked my doctor about this, I just figured that I would turn down the option of trying Clomid because of my PCOS-related weight/cholesterol/blood pressure problems.
