Re: Please don't take this the wrong way...

There is nothing in this world as wonderful as a child. It really should not matter if that child is biologically yours or not, as long as you provide the love that is all that matters. Mary I am sorry that you feel this way. I am one of the "lucky ones", I did not have problems getting pregnant. I am very happy to have a daughter and I think that from reading this you are too. Do not put blame yourself for "passing" PCOS on, if that happens. It is a MEDICAL condition. Ask yourself, if I had known that this child had a genetic defect such as Downs Syndrome would I feel any different about my daughter? You have the power and the ablity to educate your daughter and to help her much sooner than you have gotten help. I know many PCOS mothers who are watching for symptoms in their daughters, as I am, we know what it is like to have the problem, but CONTROL is the key. Make sure if you see symptoms you get her to a Doctor who understands PCOS, and reinforce her self esteem. My daughter has a saying that she has taken from a book, it is " I am unique!!" I make sure that she knows that this is true. Her primary care doctor already knows about my PCOS and she is only 4, they are also watching and educating themselves so that if there is a need to treat her in the future, they can do that. Instead of focusing on what you feel you have done to your daughter, try to focus on educating yourself and getting your PCOS under control, depression is one of the problems we PCOS ladies have. Keep posting and finding our what the rest of us are doing to get control and know that once you have educated yourself you will be your daughters best resource and help. -- Connie I have to say to all of you who are trying to get pregnant...I wish you >luck but please think of this....I have been just diagnosed (age 37) >after suffering for many years.
