PCOS after pregnancy?

Hello.... Im new to the forum but I have a very serious question that I cant seem to get answers to :( My daughter is 13 months old, shes my first and only. Before I had her I had problems with TOM's and I have had a cyst on my ovary but it was never bad enough to be considered PCOS. It seems unlikely that I might have had it, seeing as I got pregnant. Anyways, Suddenly over the past 2 months I have suddenly grown facial hair, broke out with severe acne and I have severe abdominal pain in my lower stomach. I can tell its the ovary area when I remember back to my prior expeirence with a cyst. I was wondering if it was possible to develop PCOS after pregnancy?

By the way, I had a mirena put in when I was 6 weeks post partum, so i no longer have periods. I havent had one since before I got pregnant. 

Thanks for any adivce or thoughts :D

Please read my post Hope for those with fertility issues...and a suggestion...

You are describing much of what I initially dealt with after the birth of my daughter. She was born in 2002. My OB/GYN said my PCOS was "irritated" by the gestational process.

I didn't have a Mirena placed until after my son was born in October 2009. I did have some abdominal pain with it at first, but it was more a cramping feeling and was not severe. I did lose about half the hair on my head in the first 3 months after placing the Mirena, but I was warned there were possible side effects due to the body's need to acclimate to the new hormonal levels. I guess for me that was how it manifested. I have also noticed an increase in acne but, again, mine was not severe. I had my Mirena placed in December 2009 and as of today most of the issues have resolved themselves.

If you are experiencing anything you can call severe you may want to see your doctor ASAP if you already haven't.

That's exactly what happened to me a few months after the birth of my twin girls.  I gained 75 pounds since they were born in 2006 and can't get it off.
