I am currently 5 months pregnant and I also conceived with PCOS! It took me about 8 months of trying and tracking my cycle. Did you get your hormone levels checked recently? Getting those in balance first with a doctor's help really makes a big difference.

After going through so much treatment to get pregnant, gender did not cross my mind at all. In India, checking the baby's gender is strictly illegal and no test can tell you. Just pray for a healthy baby, that is the biggest joy.

Coughing won't affect the pregnancy, dear. Drink warm ginger tea, it really helped me when I was pregnant and couldn't take usual medications.

Actually, according to all reproductive health trackers, there is zero connection between the rectum and the uterus, so it won't cause pregnancy. However, if any fluid spills near the vagina, there is a very tiny chance. Using protection is always the best option.

Same here, I had absolutely no symptoms until my belly started showing, and then went on to have a healthy baby via C-section. My recovery was also quite smooth. Keep a positive mind, everything will be fine!
