PCOS and pregnant

Posted By GiGi on March 06, 1999 at 16:17:15:







Hi -
I asked a week ago about BBT and possible pregnancy, and I
first wanted to thank you for responding - it turns out I am
Pregnant, and I'm thrilled!!
My question revolves around a condition I was diagnosed with
(and it was confirmed)last fall. I have polycycstic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS) and I hadn't been ovulating. Well, without meds I did ovulate and got
pregnant. I see my Doc on March 18 for my first ob appt., but I'm
wondering if there's anything I should/should not be doing to
aid this pregnancy since I have PCOS also?
I'm just nervous about this much-wanted, much-hoped for
pregnancy - I want to do everything right!
I don't smoke/drink/anything - I'm eating what the books recommend
for pregnancy, I am taking a prenatal and getting lots of rest.
I feel fine, too. Should I be concerned about my progesterone level?
(it tested low last fall, but so far my temps are still high and I'm still
pregnant) SHould I supplement progesterone with cream, just to be safe
and keep my levels high?
I guess I should call my Doc, but any help you might give in the meantime
would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
GiGi
