PCOS symptoms during/post pregnancy?
I am 31, and was diagnosed with lean PCOS back in high school (~15 years ago). I’ve always struggled with body / facial acne and hair growth and while they never went away they really did significantly improve while I was on hormonal BC. For me that was a game changer. I went off the pill last February (over a year ago), and since then have really struggled with the symptoms presenting themselves much more prominently than I was used to while on it. To think that we were told acne goes away when we grow up!
After 1.5 years of TTC I finally just got a positive test! While very early, my brain is rushing to many what ifs, and I am curious as to what experience others have had as it relates to their PCOS symptoms during and post pregnancy. With so many hormones in play, I’m worried that things will be far worse than I’m used to. For some folks, I know many symptoms improve post pregnancy as hormones somewhat rebalance. That would be nice!
Would love any input if you can relate. Thanks :)
