I have just been diagnosed with PCOS.
I’m 26.
I am THIN and NOT insulin resistant.
I have high level of Testosterone – unknown cause.
What are my chances of getting pregnant?
I’m so scared!
Thanks.
Do you have any success stories for women with non IR PCOS who aren’t overweight?

You do not have to have insulin resistance to be diagnosed with PCOS. There are plenty of thin women with PCOS. Insulin resistance is common in PCOS, but not everyone has it.
High levels of testosterone are one of the symptoms/signs of PCOS. Its due to the hormone irregularities we have. We usually have low progesterone, and high levels of testosterone and estrogen — that is why our cycles are all messed up.
Yes, I have spoken with hundreds of women over the years, many were not IR and went to have successful pregnancies.
Your chances are probably better than those with IR. IR causes additonal problems with our cycles and actually hurts our eggs, increasing our chance of miscarriages.
Hormonal irregularities can also increase our risk (PCOS women in general have a 40% chance of m/c during the first trimester) however checking your progesterone level immediately have you get a positive pregnancy test, then supplementing with progesterone if your levels are low will help lower your risk of m/c.
It is possible to get PG with PCOS, read this: http://pcosinfo.com/blog/infertility-treatments-to-help-women-with-pcos-conceive/
Do you ovulate spontaneously? If so you can probably conceive. If not Find an OB?GYN who treats patients with fertility and consult with them about Clomid ( a drug used to induce ovulation). Many women with PCOS have had children with proper treatment.
