Can a woman taking medications for PCOS and a retroverted uterus get pregnant from having unprotected sex?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS, and the obstetrician told me I had cysts in both ovaries and a retroverted uterus. I was diagnosed a few months back and started taking pills. I had unprotected intercourse with my boyfriend a few days after the diagnosis, but I am continuously taking medications. Is it possible that I will get pregnant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)/PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is a hormonal imbalance that can cause anovulatory or irregular cycles, abnormal hair growth, and weight gain. Thin, lean patients also can suffer from PCOS.

As you have taken emergency contraceptive pills for every sexual activity (if taken within 72 hours of activity), there would be fewer chances of pregnancy . Do not overtreat or overdose any hormone, as these can cause side effects like irregular periods, breast enlargement, mood variations, clot formation, breast cancer, and endometrial hyperplasia.

Your cycles will be irregular in the coming days as you have taken too many emergency pills.

I suggest following the tips mentioned below.

1. Have a healthy, nutritious diet with low salt, sugar, spice, and oil.

2. Walk and exercise daily. Try to have a normal BMI.

3. Have some recreational activity.

4. To regulate cycles, if not experiencing, then it is better to have combined oral contraceptive pills cyclically for three months.

5. Collect all laboratory results and discuss them with your local gynecologist.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
