So I found out at a very young age of 14 that I have PCOS, I'm now 21 and my partner and I have decided to start trying to concieve. I have spoken to my doctor's and I need to have some blood tests done once my next period comes and again 21 days later, after which I will be referred to a fertility clinic. I am very scared of what my results may be and what will follow. I was wondering if anyone would kindly share stories with me they may have on getting pregnant with PCOS and their journey ? Or any advice that I could use.
I would very much appreciate it. I have looked into medication such as metformin and chlomid which I am hoping my doctor's will prescribe me if necessary.
I have started taking vitamin E, D and folic acid aswell in hopes to help my body to be in a better state to concieve.
Thank you in advance for anything you may share with me :)

@kate_smith i do hope I can, thank you for sharing. I have never had a regular cycle since I started at 10 years old. I just bought 100 of them and started testing two days ago, cause I have no way of actually knowing when and if i ovulate without them. I am just finishing my period, but has been my first proper one in about a year as I have been on the implant x

Most likely you will be able yo conceive naturally :)
I have PCOS, both systs and the syndrome, long story short: it took 1.5 years and 1 round of clomid to conceive our daughter, and she is perfect :) pregnancy was good and breastfeeding is going well :)
Still no period though and I will have to wait until I finish breastfeeding until I can take clomid again...

I think bad in the day people thought pcos meant not being able to conceive but technology and research has advanced so much that I don't think it effects it much nowadays . If anything might just take you a little bit more time to conceive xx

@unimummy thank you, I have family that are too, only my mum, my partner's mum and one of my friends know so I don't have many people to talk with about my worries so ofcourse i make it worse in my head. Xx
