Our first child came before my wife found out that she had this, so he was 100% natural. However, our second child needed the help of fertility drugs. This is when she found out about the PCOS.

Polycystic ovaries. OK. I'd never seen it abbreviated.

What kind of drugs were used to help you get pregnant? Clomid?

I'm certainly not going to condemn someone for trying to get their body to function properly. It's when people hyper stimulate, do in vitro, implant multiples and then selectively reduce them that we are into the realm of going above and beyond nature's normal function.

Follistim.

Clomid, according to her doctor, would have a greater chance of releasing more than 1 or 2 eggs. As it was the Follistim also had the chance of releasing multiple eggs too. If there would've been more than one fertizilized we would've had the chance to remove the number that we chose.

If it would've happened that way, we would've reduced it to just 1 for medical reasons.

If this didn't work, the next step would've been In Vitro.
