Hi!
I just read this post. Belle, you said that it is "highly likely" that
she will be able to become pregnant if she has PCOS. Did you mean
"highly likely" or "highly unlikely"? Just curious as to your reasoning
if you meant "highly likely". Did you say that because of her age since
the chances of getting pregnant with PCOS are probably greater the
younger you are when you try? I enjoy reading your posts by the way.
Always informative.
To the young lady who is trying to become pregnant. I agree with Belle.
Now that you know that something is up (enlarged ovaries, infection)
focus on getting well. You mentioned that you have had a few STDs. STDs
can in themselves have effects on fertility in some cases. Make sure
that your current doctor has your medical records so that he/she has all
of the information in order to treat you properly. If you weren't
tested at your last appt. for STDs you may want to be tested again. I
have read that sometimes antibiotics don't knock STDs out completely the
first time. If you were treated at different clinics have your records
sent to your current doctor. Hope it works out, dear. God bless! Tera
