I hate you PCOS

Iv been living with PCOS for 9/10 years I was diagnosed aged 20/21 I suffer from all kind of symptoms, painful periods, infertility, depression, tiredness, fluctuating weight & Thinning hair. When I was first diagnosed my periods were all over the place sometimes I could go 6 months without a single period. Over the years Iv done so much research and started taking vitamins that helped me get my periods back, I now have periods monthly and usually have a cycle of around 28-30 days.

Myself and my husband have been trying for a baby for quite a few years now we lost our son in 2022 (still born) then miscarried a year later
I recently found out I was pregnant and 2 days later started bleeding very heavily with pain, pregnancy tests then became negative.

Recently Iv found some of my notes and found doctors mentioned I have low quality eggs? I’m wondering if this might be the reasoning behind my miscarriages? Is there anything I can do to improve egg quality? Have you tried anything for yourself? Did it work?

I just want to be a mum 😭

I would argue PCOS doesn’t necessarily affect a pregnancy outcome once you are pregnant? I was first diagnosed at 17, did nothing to monitor/control it other than taking the pill. I would say I don’t have the healthiest diet and have had periods where I’ve been quite inactive.

I had 3 live births in 2020, 2022, and 2024.

I would think you would need to take this information re: egg quality to a fertility specialist and see what they have to say. IVF route?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
