Thank You So Much Fluffy Chick this might explain why I had 2 babies post 30 after trying to add to my family for so many years! Such a gap that one of my obstetricians asked, if by chance was This Baby's Father my Second Husband? Nope they all had the same Daddy!

Thanks for this @FluffyChix. Really interesting!

As someone who had two boys, one at age 22 , with medical help, and another at age 32 without help - a wonderful surprise- this might make some sense. Hmmmm....

I had one baby at 29 without help with PCOS and a second one finally at 35 on femara. We are done having children but always interesting to read more about PCOS developments

So all those doctors who told me again and again, when I was in my early 20s, that I caused my PCOS by being overweight were full of s... Not only did the doctors say it, but it was believed by the general public too. I'm glad that the latest generation of young women hopefully won't face that kind of prejudice.
