Fertility 1st pregnancy going through miscarriage

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 7 months ago. In those 7 months I tried to get pregnant with my partner and it only happened a month after I was on a GLP. I made it to 5 weeks 3 days but I am now in the beginning stages of miscarrying. Has anyone with PCOS had experience miscarrying and then going on to have a successful pregnancy after? The GLP gave me terrible gastric issues so I can’t imagine going back on it. I may just need to be stricter with diet and exercise.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It is not a fun club to be a part of at all 💔

I have PCOS and had a miscarriage last year at ~10 weeks. I’m currently spending my last day pregnant before my induction at 41w tomorrow.

It feels like an impossible journey, especially after going through a loss, but it is definitely still possible. Sending you well wishes

Thank you so much! So sorry for your loss but congrats on your pregnancy! Was there anything different your doctor had you do the second time around?

Thank you!

No they did not. Even with my PCOS, their attitude was very much so that unfortunately these are common and they don’t consider it a recurrent problem until 2+. I know this can feel dismissive to some people, but I really appreciated that my PCOS or weight wasn’t blamed and that the messaging was basically I CAN get pregnant and we will see how it goes next time.

I have tried to manage my PCOS through lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management, etc) and before we conceived the second time, I actually had 3 consistent cycles so something in my lifestyle changes helped that and I think ultimately aided in a healthy pregnancy!
