Getting Pregnant with PCOS | Fertility Doctor Explains

Accounting for nearly one-third of all infertility diagnoses in women, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common ovulatory disorder in women of reproductive age. PCOS is caused by hormonal imbalances that curtail or prevent ovulation—the body’s process of producing and releasing eggs from the ovary.

Dr. Doyle explains the symptoms of PCOS, the role they play when trying to conceive, and basic treatment options that are available to patients.

not hopeless ladies don't give up! was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago had a three month period and was put on metformin and progesterone only birth control. was on it for a year and got better when I had normal periods and was taken off of it but was told I most likely still wouldn't have kids without medical help. 9 months later got pregnant and am now 37 weeks waiting for my little girl to be born here in 3 or 4 weeks.

Thats my Doctor. Dr J Doyle.. The best ever!!! My IVF was successful. 2 healthy Boys.

[bellabellaheartoffaith]

PCOS here with a clockwork period. This is so frustrating & confusing. Hopefully my fert docs figure this out.

[jessicasmith]

I was diagnosed infertile at 19, told was never gonna have kids never had a regular period, pretty much checked off all the symptoms of PCOS BUT last 2 months we celebrated my daughters first birthday conceived naturally with herbs remedies

[vanessaable]

I have PCOS but have period each month

[londonwalker]

Interesting, because I have PCOS and my cycle comes EVERY month like clock work. No more than 32 days between my cycles.

[melly]

My doctor wants me to get tested, but my cycle is 29 days and my period is typically 4 days. The only symptom I think I have is the hair growth on my chin. I’m not obese, and my periods aren’t painful. I’m not sure why it’s taking me so long to get pregnant after my miscarriage 2 years ago, and I hope it’s not this, but now I’m not sure 😢

[iVanessaRoberts]

really well explained! this gave me the pep talk I needed! Thank you!

[alisalaska]

I have heavy, regular periods and I have pcos. Both ovaries are classic pcos with 20+ little cysts. It’s so different from person to person.

[WajeehaAlam-nm]

I am diagnosed with pcos but I have regular periods like 3 days early or late only. Im confused. Anyone please answer?

[alexandriageniola]

I was told I have pcos but just in one of my ovaries, I had another doctor tell me you can’t have it in just one ovary. Since i first got my period I have not missed my period, I have zero pregnancy scares, never been pregnant and seems impossible to do. I had a Skyla iud, which was a new iud for woman who haven’t had kids yet, well when I got that, I cramped for the first time in my life, and since then have had cramps that get worse each time, I did have the iud removed and still cramped, that Skyla is recalled. I want to get pregnant and seems like the doctors don’t care to help. I’m running out of time 😢

[lifewithodin]

I have pcos and my cycle averages 28 to 30 days... and have been trying to get pregnant for about two years and haven't been able to conceive or if I do I end up having a miscarriage around 8 weeks. Can someone help me and my fiance really want kids

[jessaagregorio]

[emmidoestuff]

Im 18, and I just got diagnosed on the 27th of march, and I am so worried about being able to get pregnant. Im afraid I will be infertile and won't be able to have a kid, will I have a chance? How do I know if im fertile?

[salfra]
