There may be no bearing for the PCOS mom at all, but I thought I would
share.

Could there be a consideration for any retained placenta?  A mother I know
with PCOS for over 20 years conceived without help at age 40. Her milk has
always come in normally with a great supply even with "induced" ovulation
leading to pregnancy for her prior children.  After this spontaneous
pregnancy, she called me with thoughts of low supply as her breasts did not
feel full when her milk came in. She also stated her bleeding was
irregular.  Much lighter than it should be. After asking several questions
and taking immediate postpartum events into consideration I suggested that
retained placenta could be at the root cause. I instructed her to call her
provider, etc.  She wasn't really interested but then that afternoon she
began passing chunks of placenta and membrane.  It took about a week to pass
the remained of retained placenta.

I reminded her to nurse frequently, get enough rest and if needed pump (she
is an RN and has pumped before so no instruction was needed there).

Her supply remained lower than normal but adequate since it was her 4th
child.
