All of us with PCOS are different...
One of my clients with PCOS (I'm a massage therapist) was told she would
never be able to become pregnant and she just delivered a healthy baby
boy without drugs. Another friend, with different sypmtoms of PCOS
conceived with the help of clomid. I know it's hard not to worry, but
that worry energy stifles healthy functioning. Lots of women become
pregnany with PCOS. It can be frustrating but you will find what works
for you. I wish there was one answer. I am trying to get pregnant as
well!!
