And also consider your symptoms, do you have acne, facial hair, irregular cycles, no ovulation or not ovulating every month, weight gain, unable to lose weight.... PCOS is a tricky diagnosis to begin with. Most of the time it is based on symptoms, ultrasound, and lab work. Women with PCOS can get preg. on their own. So just because you got preg. before does not exclude you from PCOS. I hope you do not have it!!! Good luck on baby#2!!!

Has your doctor done any of those test on you?
