I've had 3 kids since my DX. My mother was never diagnosed, because no one had heard of PCOS back then, but she has every single symptom of it that
I have, and more than likely she's got it as well, and besides me she's got my brother.
It's really distressing to me, the amount of cluelessness out there when it comes to PCOS. This is
the most common cause of infertility among women of childbearing age, but it seems you're lucky to find a doctor who knows the first thing about it. When I was first diagnosed, I had a doctor offer me birth control pills.
Fine lot of help in getting pregnant that would have been! The next doctor I saw said I had PCOS because of being overweight, just lose weight and it'd be cured. I walked out of his office crying and determined to treat it myself, and I have.
Of course, my favorite idiotic-doctor comment was the OB who asked me how I had gotten pregnant. "You see, doc, when a man and a woman
really love each other..."
