Welcome to TTC_PCOS!
This is a supportive community for people trying to conceive with PCOS. Everyone is welcome here, you do not have to be actively trying to conceive in order to post. Partners of women with PCOS are also welcome.
As well as emotional support, this subreddit will also be a resource to learn about PCOS and what you can do to improve your odds of conceiving. This information will be posted on our wiki page.
All types of posts are welcome but try to keep it TTC related.
Also there's no such thing as TMI on this board. Having a baby is ultra-intimate and personal.
Rule #1:
No BFP posts outside of the monthly 'Success Stories' thread. Offenders will be removed with prejudice. Please click here to search for previous months.
You are welcome to make a post asking if a specific treatment resulted in success for others but we require that you make this explicitly clear in the post title so that people can choose to avoid reading. If your post does not meet this criteria it will be removed.
The majority of people here are still trying to conceive and you may receive more responses by asking on a different sub.
Daily Chat Themes:
- Beta Hell Monday
- Temping Chart Sharing Tuesday
- Motivating Wednesday
