I just wanted to say Congratulations Sally! There is an increased risk of
miscarriage with PCOS, so make sure you take care of yourself & your bub. I
wasn't taking any meds before, during/ after my pregnancy so I can't help you
there. I had no complications (besides the actual birth), I was extremely
tired throughout, but once the whole birth was over the docs realised my iron
levels were extremely low. I now have a beautiful baby boy (6 months on Fri),
I'm sure everything will be fine, try not to stress to much. I'm sure the
other girls on here can advise you if there are any extra tests/ things you
can look out for & discuss with your Doc. Good luck & CONGRATS :)
