Polycystic Ovarion Symptoms During Pregnancy
You are pregnant! Congratulations! You may have PCOS (polycystic ovarion syndrome) but you beat the odds and are now pregnant. But what symptons may you have during your pregnancy?
Unfortunately even PCOS sufferers who get pregnant should know that a pregnancy does not always progress without complications. There are several factors which should be monitored by your doctor and/or gynecologist – the key is to stay in touch with your doctor! Ensure that you do have regular check-ups and if things feel funny or something does not feel right SEE THEM RIGHT AWAY! Of course we don’t want to alarm you, or anyone for that matter – but that baby growing inside you is precious and we want to ensure that both you and baby are safe.
So What Are The Risks?
Medical experts say women with PCOS are at an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), pre-eclampsia and blood clotting disorders during pregnancy.
Pregnant PCOS sufferers are also more likely to experience miscarriage, pre-term birth or have over-size babies.
Studies have placed the miscarriage rate among pregnant women with PCOS at between 45 and 50%, compared to 15 to 25% among the normal female population. While this figure may seem scary and intimidating, it’s important to remember that steps can be taken to prevent and treat these disorders.
Now these are the worst case scenarios – speaking from experience (I have several friends who have PCOS and who had children) it may not happen to everyone – but the more information you are armed with the better choices you can make. One women I know suffered with PCOS for years and gave birth to a healthy baby boy that was just the right weight and was born one day later than the expected due date. She had absolutely no complications at all. Their son is healthy, and vibrant!
What Can You Do?
First and foremost ensure that you get adeqate medical care. You should see your doctor and/or gynecologist or OBGYN regularly and follow the schedule that they provide you. If they want to see you weekly – go weekly. If they say monthly is OK, then they are giving you their expert opinion. Listen to them. They care about you, and your baby.
Most treatment for PCOS is aimed at stabilizing your hormones to increase your chances of achieving and maintaining pregnancy. Your doctor will also monitor your blood pressure at regular intervals and look for early-warning signs of diabetes and (later in the pregnancy) pre-eclampisa. Certain drugs may also be used to prevent blood clotting.
In my friends case (her name is Sabrina) she was told that she had preeclampsia but because she had to have a c-section it wasn’t an issue.
Next and perhaps even as important as regular medical care – THINK POSITIVE!
It is a well known fact that stress affects our bodies in many ways. It can alter our moods and play havoc with our hormones. Being anxious about a PCOS pregnancy is very understandable, but by staying calm you could be increasing the chances of a successful outcome for you and your baby.
Remember that high stress levels are associated with hypertension.
Do what you can to be well-informed, communicate with your doctor frequently and follow his or her instructions. Apart from that, the most important thing you can do is try not to worry. Some gentle and relaxing activity to get you out and about, like swimming or yoga, could be what you need to take your mind off things. Ask your doctor if it is OK for you to go swimming, do yoga or any other type of exercise. Most doctors agree that exercise during pregnancy is good – but since you are already at a heightened risk ensure you get their professional opinion.

I was diagnosed with PCOS without two major symptoms: irregular periods and ovarian cysts.
I have hirsutism controlled by saw palmetto, a blend of testosterone reducing herbs and laser removal (which works best on pale-skinned, dark-haired women).
I started losing my hair three years ago when my dad died and have had ups and downs with it since – stress related and bereavement related each time.
Taking biotin and prenatals to help there along with a biotin-enhanced shampoo.
Acne has increased in the last two years when we first started to get pregnant but it’s still only during ovulation or my period. I use goldenseal root and a natural clarifier for that.
I have gained weight over the past three years but again, stress and grief have played a huge part in that causing depression and lack of desire to exercise. I do crave carbohydrates but not sugar.
I’ve been on medications for three plus years to get all my chemical levels in line: Vitamin D and B12/folic acid were so low they wouldn’t register, testosterone so high it wouldn’t come down, progesterone not maintaining.
I feel my naturopath has me on the right types of meds based on all the research and even what is recommended on this site.
However, I now have a mass (noncancerous) in my breast most likely caused by the progesterone and added fatty’s in my diet! I’d like to have a child without causing long-lasting damage to my breasts. All my chemical levels are in normal range with the exception of testosterone which fluctuates between low 70’s and mid 80’s naturally. Bloodwork is done every three months, sometimes three months in a row.
I had a transvaginal done earlier this year which resulted in nothing the first time and enlarged follicles the second time, which was on day 21, when I normally ovulate (so they should be enlarged). But due to the enlargement, high testosterone, hirsutism, hair loss and acne I was diagnosed with PCOS.
I have missed maybe two periods in my entire life (in addition to two pregnancies). One February just due to having a 35 day cycle, and this past March due to bereavement (my niece’s baby died and I just couldn’t take it).
I’ve been pregnant twice only to lose it around week 8 (three weeks to the day after having implantation spotting both times). Each time I was under a huge amount of stress in my job.
Like clockwork I ovulate day 21, start my period day 35. In March I had a period and did not have another until the middle of May when we received my niece’s baby’s autopsy report. The next month I ovulated on day 14 and then on day 21, then day 14. Because I am using a donor who overnight ships his swimmers to me (my best friend), I really need to know when I am going to ovulate so I was recently put on a trial of clomid to regulate my cycle again.
I’ve seen two specialists who say I’m doing everything I can be doing (with the exception of using fresh sperm), and feel I don’t really have PCOS.
Can I really have it without the irregular periods and cysts? Should I be treated instead for syndrome x and put on metformin or something?
Does anyone else out there relate to the regular periods/no cysts aspect who has suggestions?
