Roughly 1 in 18 of women of childbearing age have polycystic ovarian syndrome in some shape or form. Approximately 85% of women with PCOS get pregnant without too much difficulty and hence are never really diagnosed with the condition. However, for the rest of the women with PCOS who do find it hard to ovulate in most cases CAN conceive if they take the right action.
These women often have unhealthy eggs because their periods are not as close together as they should be. Irregular periods like this can often be easily corrected by herbal medication and a few healthy lifestyle changes. These are all described in a great book which I highly recommend getting and will discuss later. It has helped hundreds of people with PCOS get pregnant.
Why am I not pregnant?
Other clients of mine with PCOS get pregnant by losing weight and trying to maintain low stress levels. Many people are ignorant to just how paramount simple steps like these are to ensuring good health and increasing fertility. It is also worth learning to detect your ovulation period using basal body temperature or cervical mucus. This is all explained in the book I shall recommend.
A lot of women with PCOS get pregnant after using some sort of fertility drug, the most popular of which is Clomid because it is cheap and relatively successful. However, this does not work for everyone and its effectiveness decreases the longer you use it. I would recommend taking herbal medication as opposed to infertility drugs at first since these drugs can have undesirable side effects on the body.
IVF treatment is also an option if all else fails. But this also has risks which are not clearly understood amongst scientists. It does not guarantee success by any means but has been popular and has helped many women with PCOS get pregnant.
All in all, if you are a young woman and are worried about your fertility and PCOS, it is best to act now in improving your lifestyle and chances of conceiving NATURALLY. There has been some great success with
Chinese herbal medication which have little to no side effects and eliminate the need for expensive conventional drugs or even surgery such as IVF.
Herbal medication and employing a healthier more peaceful lifestyle will be even more beneficial for women over 35 since at this age infertility medication and IVF treatment has heightened risks and lower chance of success.
