PCOS Thin and pregnancy

by Powers555, Jun 10, 2008 07:42AM
I recently found out that I have PCOS, but not the typical symptoms with regard to weight. I am very thin-115lbs. I have been told that it is more difficult for people with my type of PCOS to conceive. Is this true?

i've been reading up on PCOS as i'm newly diagnosed and while i may be wrong, i haven't come across anything like this. In fact, the opposite should be true since most of the doctors (from what i've read) will actualy tell their patients with PCOS to lose at least 5% of their body weight to HELP with fertility!
While you're not the apparent PCOS norm....i think this may benefit your fertility! Again...i may be way off but this is what i know from MY research on the subjet.

Also...try www.soulcysters.com
They have a lot of helpful informaton about pcos!

I agree  I have PCOS and mainly caused by weight I am obese... so for a thin person to get it.. thats unreal.. I would get a 2ed look..from another doctor...

Thanks! I hope you are right. Several friends in the medical field along with my doctors believe that PCOS thin is a "hard nut to crack". Believe me, I do have PCOS because they have done ultrasounds to prove it and I ruptured a cyst back in April 2008....I thought I was going to die. It was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life!!  I hope you are right and it will be easier than I expect to get pregnant. Good luck to you if you are trying as well!!! :-)
