Im getting another scan for PCOS (im 15 please help) im so scared!! dont know what to expect?

i was diagnosed with pcos at 18 i know how scary it is thinking you may never have children but you need to relax and keep positive, stress contributes to irregular periods. with pcos cysts are a main part of it so whether you have more scans or not they will always show cysts, another scan isnt necessary. they can give you blood tests to measure certain hormones and may offer you contraception to regulate your periods again such as the pill. as you dont have the side effects of pcos such as being overweight, fertility is on your side. when the time comes for you to have a baby things may be different, your periods can regulate at any time or you may need help with meds to ovulate and get pregnant, its common and nothing to be scared about. i never thought id have kids but im pregnant with my second baby, both concieved naturally without meds and the pcos has never really effected me apart from irregular periods which regulate themself regularly. the best thing you can do is keep it off your mind and keep busy, its not something that will really effect you majorly until the time comes to start a family, i know its hard to block out as you will always think and wonder, but nothing you can do right now will maek a difference. speak to your doctor for some support and your family too, but if i could concieve easily in a similar position to you then im sure you can too. good luck.
