I saw you have PCOS..

They think I do too..Well actually they have no idea what my deal is but that is one of the guesses the RE's had. I thought maybe this is just what hormones feel like since I havent really had normal hormones before..

Has your doc said PCOS plays a role at all?

    Not directly, but I know it does indirectly just because I deal with the 'fun' side effects like weight gain and pretty bad acne.  But I know there have been studies showing women with hormonal imbalances like PCOS do have a higher risk for PPD.  I know in my case it was 'hidden' for so long (I went on birth control at 15 to control my cycles) that it's hard to know what is 'normal' for me too.

    It would be interesting to see how many other PCOS moms have PPD.
