I've not had any luck so far. It took my Mom 5 years and my sister 6. My other sister got pregnant fast. I'm 38 right now. I believe I have been ovulating but I'm not for sure. I'm not on anything and I've had a normal period for over a year. I skipped December of last year and June. I've been regular other than that!! Anything is possible!!!

DEFINITELY a myth. I have a friend with a very healthy baby who never considered she was pregnant because of PCOS. Most of the women on "I didn't know I was pregnant" say that they have PCOS.

Women with PCOS can absolutely conceive! But it can be a long hard road. I was diagnosed at 29 while trying to conceive our first. I was put on Metformin, Clomid. I went on a strict Mediterranean diet and worked out four times a week (2 cardio/2 yoga) and conceived two months later!! However, we have had no luck trying to conceive a second time. Other issues (retrograde uterus and husbands low morphology) added to the mix. Don't give up a hope. Children are possible for PCOS sufferers! Some women with PCOS (my sister in law) have no trouble conceiving at all. It's a multi-faceted disease with many different factors.
