I'm only 18 and a freshman in college and I'm terrified about not having kids! My Dr. told me that it is really going to be a problem for me, but I'm hoping that I still will be able to!

I also am afaid of not being able to have a baby. One of my greatest joys in life has been watching babies. I work in the nursery at my church all the time. I found out I had PCOS when I was 13 (I'm 18 now.) Just knowing I may not be able to have children makes me depressed. I know people talk about adopotion and stuff but I want a biological child, ya know? All I can do is wait to see what happens in the future and if it comes down to me having to adopt at least I'm helping a baby out. If any of you ever need/want to talk feel free to email me. kimby_912_kimby@yahoo.com Hang in there!!!

Hey girls -

I'm not a teen (I'm 38), but I've had PCOS since I was one (just undiagnosed!!) I didn't get my first (.) until I was 17 and then it was only 1 or 2x a year after that. I have a pretty severe case of it and my numbers were off the charts last time they were checked.

However, I now have a beautiful daughter who is 13 mos old and I'm pregnant with #2. My daughter was conceived with fertility treatments (Clomid & IUI). I then nursed her and started met again around 9 mos. My hormones never crashed after having her then starting met right away and I got pg with this baby on my "own". I was always told that I could never have kids, but the doctors never said why (they probably didn't know the name of PCOS). I searched for years and years for a Dr who would listen to me and it wasn't until I was 35 that I found a Dr who actually listened and had a clue (it was an ob, not a RE). Back then all they did was put me on birth control to control the symptoms. In the end, that made things worse for me as I was on a non-friendly PCOS birth control.

So, please don't stress about it now. Yes, it is more difficult for some women and for others all they did was take met and it happened naturally. Life is definetely not fair! There are so many components and unless you are trying, I wouldn't want you to stress about them now. Visit the pg board and you will see that there are lots of women who are pg or visit the mom's board and stop in to say hello. PCOS isn't a curse that says you can't be a mom, you just might have to take a different path to get there!!!

Feel free to pm me if you need any more info.

Good luck.

i am so so scared to not have kids. i just joined the website to find support because i have been so emotionally messed up since i found out i have this disease. the main thing that upsets me is the worry of not having kids. it terrifies me. all my life all ive wanted was children. im 19 about to be 20. the idea of my life goal being taken from me is the most devastating thing i have ever had to try and deal with.

its really freaking meout too! im only 16 and being told now that pregnancy might be an issue is so scary! i cryed when he said that and everything... very depressing.

It is very scarry to think you might have problems conceiving but there is so many other alternatives and ways to help you conceive and its something you must think of everytime you get down about it. That was some great advice from nopey (Thanks!!!)
Me and my other half are starting to look at alternatives and there is alot out there and so many people are on it and get results.
I always said i dont want any help with having a baby but then i think.. once i have our baby in our arms it wont matter and what i went through will be worth it.
