I have PCOS & 4wks pregnant

[fafadagen]

Has anyone else with pcos found out that they were pregnant at 4 weeks and went full term?

I was pregnant back in 2009 and had a miscarriage before ever finding out that I had PCOS. After my MC, I immediately went through several fertility specialist and endocrinologist. I did everything except invitro. After all of the stress of infertility treatments, I decided that I would take control of my own health by doing a low carb diet and sugar free diet.

Although I only knew about one pregnancy, I have a feeling that I have had multiple MC's. I took two blood pregnancy test, and the second one was the quantitative which showed that I was just over four weeks, and that my progesterone levels had increased from the first blood test I had taken two days prior.

How I found out: last Sunday, I woke up about 1am with what I would consider severe cramps. I woke my husband up and told him that I may have needed to go to the hospital. He gave me ibuprofen and a sleeping pill, but an hour later, I had another round of the cramps. They were located right above my V, so very low abdominal. I believe that was implantation, but I am not positive. At least that's what I hope it was. I thought though, that these cramps came from me not being used to eating carbs (had whole wheat pasta that night) and were associated with my diverticulitis. When I went in to see my PD this last monday she thought I had a uti and had me take a urine test, which came out negative for pregnancy, and then set me up for a hida scan and ultra sound. She called the next day early in the evening telling me I was in fact pregnant. I guess now it's just a wait and see. It's really hard not to be anxious knowing my pcos history, and also finding out so early. I wish I would have found out after two months.

Have any of you found out this early & went full term without fertility treatments? If you have or haven't, what would be your advice to me, and what is your story?

I have PCOS and I am 22 weeks. The only problems (which I wouldn't even call a problem, really) is cramping and tenderness. Obviously that could be normal during all pregnancies (I am a ftm so I am not positive) but it's been constant tenderness and sporadic cramping. Other than that, baby and I are doing wonderful.

I'm 31 weeks with pcos I found out around 5 weeks.  My ob didn't say much about my pcos but inquired to what I took.  When I told him I was just on metformin he had me continue taking it through the first trimester because it can help reduce the chance of miscarriage through first trimester.

I had/have pcos and found out I was pregnant at about 7 weeks with my first. We were trying for a year and a half.when I got pregnant my ob never even thought twice about me having pcos..like it wasn't a big deal to them. My family doctor was the one helping me with the pcos. So thay shocked me but they never told me I was high risk or anything and never worried. I had no complications and carried full term. My doc told me that once you become pregnant and go on to have the child pcos kind of corrects itself in a way. I haven't had any issues and we tried for our second 2 yrs later and we got pregnant within 2 weeks! There is hope! Just try not to stress..i know it's easier said than done. But it is very possible.

I have pcos and I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. Big shock for me because we weren't exactly trying. I am now 25 weeks. The only complication I had was a subchorionic hemorrhage at 6 weeks but I don't believe it was related to the pcos. Hope u have a happy healthy pregnancy.
