Hi. If you are menstruating again, there is a chance you are ovulating which means you can get pregnant (if period returns but still no ovulation there are other medications the doctor can put you on). There are many woman suffering from PCOS who have successful pregnancies

I have been diagnosed with pcos since I was about 18. Actually went 2 full years without a period before I saw the doctor. Anyway, The doctor started me out on PROVERA to start menstrating, then on birth control to keep it regular. But I dont always follow the rules. I get funny after being on bc to long. So it was time to take provera again. Yes, you can get pregnant. I did, about 11-15 days after starting it. So I do have one kid now. In fact my doctor told me the menses pill (a drug to make you menstrate) can make you more fertile. So now, 5 years later I am trying to have another. So far no luck. only been about 6 mos. The doctors told me it was a mirical I even had my first. So I hope this helps. The answer is yes it is possible.

i am now pregnant with baby number 4, and was diagnosed with pcos years ago. the only difference for me in "time of conception" was that i had a harder time conceiving me first 2 kids with my first husband. got remarried last yr, had an iud removed and within 1 week, i was pregnant. baby is 9 mos. old, and i am due again in March. so yes, it is possible, patience is very important

This is so awesome to hear. I have PCOS and my husband and I have been trying for several years to conceive. Last spring my dr put me on metformin and clomid. 4 months later we did conceive, two months later I miscarried. I was devastated but on a positive note we know we can conceive! We had started to give up hope and had thought that because of the PCOS I was not going to be able to conceive. I love hearing stories of women with PCOS having babies, it gives me a lot of hope:)

I am a 29 years old and I had irregular periods since I was 15. Later at 18 I was diagnosed with PCO problem. I was prescribed to take birth control pills. I am not obese and donot have any abnormal hair growth. I am a student and I require 2 more years to graduate after which I plan to get pregnant. Please let me know if I would be taking up too much of risk by having first pregnancy at 31?
