Thank you all for the comments well I had my ultra scan and the doctor said that my left is doing all the work and my right want looks like I have POCS I have to go to the docs to get a defiant diagnosis. I was finding for years that I would have a period for 3,4 months then I wouldn’t get one for a couple of months the longest I went without one was 6 months.

am just a bit worried about getting pregnant as I have always wanted kids, I am in a single sex relationship I don’t know if there is anything they can do to help me its all in the air the now congrats for jrjend0217 did it take a long time to get pregnant ?

thanks again for commenting

Yes, I have PCOS and my left ovary tends to not want to work much - my right ovary does almost all of the work - I haven't got pregnant yet - but I know that it is possible and I know people who have it and have had pregnancies.
You may need meds if your body doesn't ovulate on it's own - that's a common side effect of PCOS - I have used meds and they helped me - my body would try to skip ovulating every couple of months...  
My dr believes I will be able to get pregnant

hi, I have the same thing also, my right ovary doesn't work and I also have pocs with very irregular periods sometimes my period doesn't come for 3 or 4 months. the only way for me to get pregnant was to have IVF which I did last sept and I am currently 7 months pregnant.  even though we have pocs and one working ovary we are capable of carrying a child, but you will  need IVF. my doctor told me that an IUI won't work and to just go straight to IVF.

Yes it is possible. Many ladies becom pregnant with only one ovary. It only takes 1 egg and 1 sperm to make a baby. Did your doctor say if you had cysts on your right ovary? Do you know if your ovulating?
