On march 3 2010 I was told I have pcos and my periods were irregular but I started taking YAZ well I took it for a little while and then about April stopped and now my periods are regular. Can I get pregnant now easier or will it still be hard for me?

How many of you have pcos and have gotten pregnant without taking drugs? I need someone to tell me its possible to get pregnant help me

My friend has PCOS and she has three kids, one conceived while she was on the pill.

Yes, pregnancy is possible. :)

OK thank you so much that makes me feel so much better :}

It stands to reason that if your periods are regular, you will be able to track the days when you are most fertile. I have an article for you to look over from EzineArticles.com that will explain how to find your most fertile days. Every woman is different, so not saying its going to be easy and foolproof but this method has been used for countless years so I guess you might say it is time-proven.

.The Calendar Method

If you have regular periods, you can use an every day calendar to track your cycle. The first day to be marked is the day you actually begin your period. The next cycle starts when you begin your period again and is not included in the last cycle's numbers. After numerous months (some recommend seven to eight) you:

1.Find your shortest cycle.
2.Subtract 18 from the total number of days. (So if your shortest cycle is 29 days, subtract 18 from 29, which is 11).
3.Go to your current cycle and count 11 days in and circle that second date. That is when ovulation begins.

Good luck

Thank you sooooo much I really appreciate it :]

OK so today I'm 11 days late on my period I was supposed to start on the 8th but I didn't I took two pregnancy tests and they both said no. I have pcos and was taking birth control for my period to start again regular in jan or feb but I stopped because my periods were normal and have been till I barley missed this one. My back has been hurting and my tummy feels tight kind of, lots of headaches, I've been using the bathroom a little more but not a whole lot I'm sleepy and just tired all day o you and always hungry lol could I be pregnant and just tested to early? If anyone can help id appreciate it thanks

It's possible... maybe give it another week and try another test at that time if still no period. Could be your cycle is just off, which is not uncommon with PCOS.
If still no period, and still a negative result, see what happens when your next period would be due... or you could see your doctor before that time and ask if they will do a blood test for you.

Thank you so much

well I posted yesterday I was 11 days late now 12 today. Yesterday I when I went to the bathroom and wiped I had brown discharge is this bad? It has no odor but its brown and today I'm having cramps in my lower abdomen felt a little queezy this morning. Ive already taken two hpt but they said negative. Help me??

ok well i was supposed to start my period the 8th of this month but i didn't i took 2 hpts and they were negative then went to birthright and it said negative but they said i could be testing to early so i haven't tested anymore.i had brown discharge for a couple days and it stoppedthen saturday i went to the restroom wiped and there was blood?? Then not even joking 10 min later it stopped and haven't bled since? O ya i have pcos but my periods have been regular since about march then this month nothing? What's wrong with me am i pregnant? Help me!! :)

Please don't type in caps. That means you're shouting at us.

Well, since we are here and you are there, it's a bit hard for us to know if you are pregnant. You either have to wait a bit longer and then retest yourself, or go to your doctor for an exam. If there is some else wrong, he will determine that or order some tests to be done.

Thank yu and srry it's a bad habbit :)

When is the earliest you can tell your pregnant on a hpt? Which is better a hpt or a blood test?

Some women will get a positive result with a urine test about 8-10 days after ovulation, but the tests are more accurate once you have actually missed a period.

The urine tests you can buy are usually just as sensitive as the urine tests in the doctor's office.

There are two types of blood tests:
Qualitative: shows positive or negative
Quantitative: shows an actual level of hcg... the hormone that is associated with pregnancy and what pregnancy tests are measuring

With the sensitivity of many urine tests, some will pick up a positive as soon as a blood test, however a blood test, particularly a qualitative one, will be more accurate.

OK usually in my family there are 2 people who dream when someone is pregnant and 95% of the time someone is! Well any way my gma told me about 2 weeks ago her sis (one of the ones who dreams about people being pregnant) that she had a "dream" of someone pregnant then today my gma said she had a dream that I was pregnant?! What do you think this dream means

Dreams of pregnancy usually mean a change or new beginning.

My advice,unless your trying for a baby,make sure you use contraception every time!

I do want a baby :)

I think that since you really want to be pregnant, any possible "sign" gives you high hopes... :)

Ya but i was also just asking :)

There's nothing wrong with wanting to pg is there?

OK well my gma told me today that when someone is pregnant they can just feel it something just tells them they are? Is this true? Has anyone pregnant with twins felt they were before they actually knew? Please let me know something? Thanks :)

No, it's an old wives tale. Don't you sometimes "feel" something? This is in the same category.

Pregnant? How old are you?


This is your 11th post in about 6 weeks about pregnancy - maybe they should all be combined for ease in understanding and responding to you. You seem to be obsessing.

Are you married? Can you afford this baby PLUS living expenses PLUS you won't be able to work for a while - have you taken these factors into consideration?

If you can support a child, no, there is no problem - however, I would rely less on messages and signs and more on Physicians.

Why is your Grandmother having these dreams, visions, experiences, feelings?

Not being rude but does it really matter how old I am? I'm 18 by the way & there is nothing wrong with saying pregnant my GRANDMOTHER says pregnant!

Lots of people say a lot of things - when you say "prego" I think you sound like a child, unfamiliar with the real word, which is pregnant. This is like a "cute" name for a medical term.

It obviously matters to me or I wouldn't have asked. AMHD does not answer adult questions for children and I wanted to make certain of your age. That's all.

I noticed that when asked NOT to type all in caps you continued to type in caps, responding that it's a bad "habbit," so I assumed you were very young.

Where is the prospective father in all of this? 18 is VERY young to have enough education and experience to raise a child.

I don't know? My grandma always has dreams when someone is pregnant I can't ask her why she does she just does just like if she dreams of her father (who passed away) something bad ALWAYS happens last time she had a dream of him my father passed away :(

Well I don't think it should matter my age. & so are you saying my grandma sounds childish? That's your opinion I was just asking a question

I was seven when my baby brother was born my mom was in nursing school and my dad was working so I was always around helping my mom and gma take care of him! I know how to take care of a baby!

If you have anything more to say to me, post it here. Stop sending me PM's.

Just stop! Please

You are not even answering my questions your insulting me because of my age

Anastazia... please try to understand that in order to help provide you will accurate and supportive information, age is often a factor. Information is often dispensed along with some wisdom gained from experience in order to help the poster make sound decisions. Like it or not, it is a fact that how you perceive things and think about things at this stage in your life, will likely be quite different in several years time. What is suggested for some older, or even younger, can be quite different at times.

Someone very young may do just fine having and raising a baby, but most are unaware of the 24/7 responsibilities and have to struggle financially. Sure family may step in and help out, but would that really be fair to expect them to? Very rare for a young person to be able to do the job well on their own.

Your grandmother dreamed of you being pregnant does not mean you are or that you will be soon. At some point you probably will be pregnant... so I guess you could say that eventually your grandmother's dream will be correct. But what is the time limit on her dreams?

Some women may feel they just know when they are pregnant, but most have no idea until they miss that first period or perhaps start experiencing morning sickness.

In response to your comment on an earlier post on this thread, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be pregnant... the point was that many, many times women, of any age, who would like to be pregnant will look for any possible symptom that might suggest they could be. I have done this myself!. :)

JudyKayTee has good points... one being where is the potential father in all of this? Is he wanting a child as well? Would the two of you be able to provide a child with everything you would like to be able to? Or would you have to scrape by to make ends meet? Do you have insurance? Do you know the coverage for pregnancy and a baby? What about any college and career plans? Living arrangements? Do you have your own place? What if your relationship didn't last... could you care for a child on your own or would you expect your family to take over? If so, does your family know that you are hoping to become pregnant?

These are just a few of the questions you need to seriously consider. Yes, babies can be wonderful, cute, and fun... but they are also noisy, time consuming, exhausting, impatient, demanding, get ill, need constant attention, and messy. Your time will not be your own for a very, very long time.

Everyone here just hopes that you will consider meeting all of your own education and career goals first. Make sure you are in the best possible position you can be in in order to provide a child with the sort of life you would truly like to be able to provide.
