No, it's far from deadly. As far as I know
'Syndrome' means that it's a condition
that you will have for the rest of your
life, but it's not fatal, eg
Down-syndrome. I was diagnosed with PCOS
syndrome at age 20, and I'm still alive
and well at 34. And yes, I am a mother of
the most beautiful 3 year old girl you can
imagine. And to top it all - I never took
ANY medication to fall pregnant. I just
changed my diet.

No no no. It's really, well, just
annoying. As far as I know, it doesn't
have ANY side effects that are threatening
to your fertility, it just might be harder
to get pregnant in the first place because
your cycle isn't normal. Diet and exercise
are best for PCOS. Seriously, google it,
look it up on web md. It sucks, but it's
not that bad.

Hello! i am 20 and i found out several
months ago that i have PCOS!
Its not deadly in any way! and it dosent
mean you cant have children,its just
harder and to be honest its best to see
your doctor as and when you want to start
trying for a baby! my friend also has PCOS
and she has 4 weeks left before she gives
birth to her first baby! the baby is fine
and shes had a great pregnancy! she took
clomed to help conceive and with a month
of taking that she fell pregnant!!
It can be uncomfortable and painful at
times but really you dont know you have
it! eating well and regular excersize
helps!
With it though you are just more at riskn
with certain things like heart
problems,ovarian problems and that!!! its
best to look it up on the web! son many
women have it these days,i really wouldnt
worry!
Hello. I am just curious. I have
polycystic ovarian syndrome (ovarian
cysts) and am also waiting for a heart
transplant. I have never heard of it
causing heart problems. Could you please
explain that theory in detail? I would
like to learn more about that. Thank You

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17
years of age and i'm turning 20. When I
found out that I had PCOS I was pretty
worried too until I looked it up. From
what I know it means that you have a
higher chance of certain unwanted things
like more hair growth in areas that women
shouldn't, high risk of becoming over
weight and you could have a higher change
of high blood pressure. It sounds worse
than what it is! It's nothing to be
worried about in my family every woman has
a chance of getting cancer just like alot
of other families do and PCOS will cause a
minor higher chance of that as well. From
my experience it's more of a pain with the
weight and hair unfortuantly. I
can't really have kids on my own just
because I've had very bad luck with my
organs but the doctors just say i'm odd!!
But its nothing to be worried about just
keep on a good and healthy diet because if
your a tiny bit over-weight it's just a
pain to keep you cycle under control and
we all know thats not fun.. well hope this
helps I've been reading alot into PCOS so
I know tons more!!
