It's almost a year since I've lost my baby. I still in the process of moving forward, I am not yet okay, but I know in time I will be okay. After her death, I am not the same as me. I know soon we'll have another baby coming, and I hope I can carry him/her until 9months. Because of my Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) I lost our first child. If ever that you are reading this and you are a teenage girl, or young adult have yourself check because PCOS is a serious illness for girls, you maybe infertile or you are prone to miscarriages. As of now, you have to take precautionary measures. Yes, women have PCOS can be pregnant but it is too risky for us.

To lose a child is the worse pain for a mother. I hope your next child may fill the gap left in your heart by your precious baby.

HI @josie_! Yes, we are hoping that too.. losing her is one of my greatest heart breaks. holding her fragile body is so heart breaking. She was too small, I lost her when she was about 20 weeks inside my womb.

I know that treatment can help, but this condition can't be cured. Pregnant women with PCOS have a higher risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.

yes, there are treatments for PCOS, and yes you are right too pregnant women are at high risk for miscarriage and still birth, but some of my friends developed PCOS right after giving birth.

I am 19. I don't know whether I have PCOS yet. But my periods are really irregular. Sometimes I have periods 2 months later.

you should have yourself checked by an OB-GYN, because it is one of those symptoms of PCOS irregular menstrual period.

@Dreamerby yes.. It's better to be checked by the OB-GYN than have regrets afterwards.
