If I Get Pregnant With A Girl, Is It Pretty Much A Guarantee That She Will Have PCOS Too? :(

Cases have shown that there is a high chance of an offspring having it. They also say that chances are your mother and siblings have it even if they don’t show signs. I have a book written by a doctor called PCOS The Hidden Epidemic, by Samuel Thatcher. It’s a very good book that helped me understand a lot more than anything.

I've read somewhere that the statistics show a high chance possibility , but you know that's not always the case.... I was diagnosed with PCOS , but my grandma , mom , or sister never were (even though they had irregular periods) ....I have a soon to be 8 year old daughter and I'm praying she doesn't get it ....plus the only other person in my family that's been diagnosed with PCOS is one of my close cousins/best friend who's around my age....

Thank you both for your perspective/input I really appreciate it!! @A myPCOSteam Member and @A myPCOSteam Member
There’s obviously no where else to find input on these things that is as good as what everyone on here has to say…so I’m very grateful for all of you!
And thanks for the book recommendation as well I’ll def check that out! 🫶
