I think it is wonderful that some women with PCOS are having success with pregnancy. It never happened for me (which turned out to be a great blessing) but I am happy to see others find success with treatments etc.
Congrats!

Pamela, Your story is so reassuring. My husband and I are finally 8 weeks pregnant after nearly 6 six years of TTC. I have been extremely anxious about my PCOS causing a miscarriage or other health risks. Are there any suggestions that you may have for me?

I've found all of those to be true in the women I've spoken to, and also from the studies I've read. Fortunately, you can prevent a lot of those issues naturally…I've been blessed with 5 babies (5 pregnancies) and only had high blood pressure during one – it and my insulin resistance was controlled naturally. Last 2 pregnancies were PERFECT

Given that PCOS causes obesity in many women I feel it’s unfair to say “It is unclear at this point whether these outcomes are the result of the PCOS or the weight”. For many women, obesity is caused by PCOS so any complications related to their obesity can be attributed to the PCOS. Otherwise it’s like saying someone with a seizure disorder with a headache can’t rule out if it’s the disorder that’s causing it or the seizure they just had. It’s part of the same problem. Separating it out just leads to fat shaming which is incredibly mean when you’re talking about a population who has even less control over their weight than the general population.
