I am 20 (sounds young but keep reading), Ive had PCOS since I was 15. I found out when I was screaming in pain at the Dr's and they told me Ive got a cyst about the size of a small orange.

I had another ultrasound and had a camera internaly to look at my ovaries a couple of weeks ago. My Dr said i need to refere you to your Gino asap and to concieve later in life will be very slim...

So I have been with my partner for 5 years we have lived together for nearly 4 years, he is 25 and would love to have children. Both of us work.

So Im torn whether to have a chat with my Gino and ask for fertility aids and TTC or wait and see what happens?

At the moment I ovulate once a year if that and have periods 4-5 monthly.

Any advice is good, thanks.

" i swear ive seen this question on this post before. anyways its honestly up to you. if your financially stable, in a stable relationship, NOT recently married(worse thing you can do is start right after getting married) and both ready emotionally and every other possilbe way then go for it. but its up to you and only you. NONE of us know you and your boyfriends relationship or sitution. if you cant get pregnant in a year then go for the meds. many women think it will be hard and actually find out its pretty for them.
