I have PCOS and was able to get pregnant with IVF. I don't think people would criticize you, but maybe caution and advise. 17 IS very young and if you are confident in your relationship and your desire to have a child that is great, but (don't take this the wrong way please) I am a completely different person than I was at 17 with different desires, totally different relationships, and an outlook on life that is changed because of my life experiences up to this point. Having a baby is truly a miracle and a blessing but I honestly believe that I am a better mom because I got to spend time with my husband as a married couple enjoying each other for a few years and got to be young and carefree for a while before the tough times of having a newborn hit. It is really challenging to have a baby and if you are prepared for it that is fantastic but your life completely changes in ways that you can't even imagine. You are solely responsible for that little baby in everything that they do and time is truly not your own ever again, I just hope that you are ready for that and won't regret not getting to enjoy being young for a while. Babies are also very expensive - diapers, formula, daycare, clothing, and things that make life easier like toys and swings all add up and while $2,000 a month is great, you would be shocked at how fast that goes - doctor's appointments alone in the first few months are pretty expensive! That all being said, if you are intent on getting pregnant you may want to talk to your doctor about metformin or clomid - both have helped people with PCOS conceive and may help you. Good luck.
