  welcome to the board-  I have no advice for you but I am sure some of the ladies on here can chime in with their opinions/advice.  You might also ask over on the secondary IF board.  Many ladies over there have experience with PCOS.
  
  good luck!

  I think following the advice of your doctor is a good idea but when asking be sure to bring up all your concerns because they are valid! Mine said wait 12 months, we waited 10 but I'm still not pregnant. Every body is different. Good luck!

  I have no idea, but I'd guess you'll get different answers if you asked on a pregnancy board rather than a TTC board. You could ask your doctor next month if there is likely any difference in pregnancy success rate if you wait an extra couple of months in order to get to the >18 month spacing that doctors say is healthiest. Good luck!

  Since my situation is different (over 35 but no KNOWN issues) I have no advice. I wanted to welcome you to the board and just chime in with seeing what your Dr. says.

  My dr said at least a year anything sooner can cause 2nd baby to be low birth weight and or premature. I had my son at 34 weeks and even though I was 39 I still waited a yr to start trying...good luck...

  My nurse practitioner suggested waiting 18 months from the birth to get pregnant in order to let the body get back into its old form, but I imagine that it would depend on how well your body dealt with your first pregnancy. Are you breastfeeding? I am BFing and I don't think that I have ovulated yet at 13 months.

  My doctor gave me the OK at six months, because she said it might take a while.  I don't have any known issues other than a history of irregular periods, but I had DD at 39, so I wanted to get going without too much delay.  I can definitely see a lot of positives to waiting, though; it all depends on your body and your situation.  Good luck!

  No advice but welcome I 2nd asking another board. I lurk so much sometimes that I've probably seen that question pop up elsewhere lol

  ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
  Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

  DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

  I saw my obgyn 7 months after we had our daughter last June and she gave me the green light to start trying again. That being said I had lost all my baby weight and then some, my blood pressure was good and my physical exam was good. I hope all goes well at your doctor visit and you get cleared. I didn't get on birth control after we had our DD either and I breastfed until she was almost 6 months old.
