Hi there
I am depereately looking for help,
I have pcos, am overweight and underactive thyroid as well as high blood presure. I know WOW! I fell pregnant on my own and am 4 weeks. I am having INCREDIBLE back pain and my doc says it has nothing to do with pregnancy!! I am very worried as I dont know what the chances are that I carry to term, what are the misscariage rates in my condition??? My doc is from the government hospital here in South Africa and he is very negative I always come home crying after seing him as he 1st told me I would not conceive now that I have on my own he has told me not to get too excited as the chances of misscariage are very high for me!  I know there is always a chance of misscariage but I am so devistated I just need some possitive words. Please help!
Does anyone know of someone else who has a similar contion tomine and has carried to term?
Please im so devistated and trying not to worry!
Thank you.

Are you taking medication for your medical conditions? I have PCOS and I take Metformin (also known as Glucophage). Metformin is safe to use in pregnancy and has been shown to reduce the risk of miscarriage. Your thyroid medication, though, I'm not sure if it is safe during pregnancy (if you take anything).

If you can find a new doctor, then do it! You don't deserve to be treated that way.

Many women with PCOS or thyroid problems carry to term. Don't be scared! I think because your doctor is so rude and negative it just makes you worry more. Get a second opinion!
