Getting Pregnant

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2010, I've had symptoms for more than a decade, but haven't thought about it much until recently. I haven't had any cysts, but I have several other symptoms, elevated hormone levels, painful acne, hirsutism, and heavy, long, frequent periods (21 day cycle with heavy periods lasting 8-10 days). Most of my symptoms are controled fairly well on the pill, but I get really anemic after 3-4 cycles when I'm not on the pill.

PCOS, what does this mean for me?
Hi, new to this board, H and I have not started TTC, but we've talked about that being part of our 2-3 year plan, and I'm beginning to wonder what Polycystic Ovary Syndrome could mean for us.
I could be worried for nothing, but I wonder if we should start trying sooner rather than later.

Re: PCOS, what does this mean for me?
PCOS is a funny beast. It can make it difficult to get pregnant, but not always. I've never heard of the symptom you are describing about short cycles, heavy bleeding, because I fell/fall on the other side of the spectrum in terms of long cycles. I would talk to my doctor if I were you and talk to her about starting ferratin supplementation to prevent anemia and if there is anything other than the pill you can do to help controle your symptoms.
There is a weekly PCOS check-in on this board. You can post there for support and read others experiences. Good luck. Hopefully you have nothing to worry about
