I have pcos since college and finally conceived after a long struggle. Just wondering does it sometimes get better or vanish after delivery? would love to hear from anyone whose periods got regular post baby.
I just delivered 3 months ago and had severe PCOS before. Honestly, my periods haven't returned yet because I'm breastfeeding, but my skin has cleared up a lot. It doesn't disappear completely, but the hormone reset does help a bit.
I had PCOS before conceiving and now I'm just enjoying my food cravings without worrying about strict low-carb diets for a change! But my doc said PCOS is a lifelong thing, so I'll have to get back to healthy eating once the baby is here.
Having PCOS made my journey very difficult and I even faced a miscarriage before this successful pregnancy. Please be very gentle with your body post-pregnancy, as PCOS is deep-seated. Always consult your doctor for a proper postpartum health plan.
When I was staying at my mom's place, she gave me home-cooked meals and kept me active, which really helped my PCOS symptoms. It doesn't fully go away, but a supportive family environment and healthy routine make a huge difference in managing it.
My mother-in-law told me that pregnancy cures everything, but my doctor cleared the doubt. PCOS doesn't completely go away because it is a lifestyle issue, but symptoms can definitely improve. Trust your doctor's advice on managing it post-delivery.
