Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Please note down few facts about P C O D( Poly Cystic Ovarian Disorder) as its name indicates there are cysts over ovary ( one side or both side, single or multiple )
If you will conceive there would not be any effects of P C O D as such.
If you will start treatment ( estrogen for pcod during pregnancy than the fetus may develop side effects ,depending upon the sex of fetus).
Consult your doctor before conceive.
Good luck.
