No-I don't have a seizure disorder. Yes, I am able to have children as far as I know. Somewhere, something goes wrong with our reproductive systems and it starts this process of PCOS. When I tried to conceive, I was put on Clomid.

I know a lot of peole who do just fine on it~~in other words do not develop PCOS. My doctor told me that polycystic ovaries are more common in those with seizure disorders.
