11:08 pm	Can a Woman With PCOS Get Pregnant? PCOS Pregnancy One of the most popular questions I get from women who are newly diagnosed with polycystic ovarian issue is "Will I ever have a baby? " I have not had time to find specific experiments regarding fertility and PCOS-likely since the device is so hard to track those people who are successful in getting expecting a baby without medical intervention. One source said that ladies with PCOS have an 80-90 percent chance of expecting, but I was helpless to find any research studies to back this up. While some women using polycystic ovarian syndrome will not be able to get pregnant, I believe that almost all can and do ultimately have healthy babies. Primary, 5-10% of women associated with childbearing age have PCOS. If their symptoms are mild they usually are undiagnosed. If they have even one child, many physicians will say they can not have PCOS. This is ridiculous if you look at the diagnostic criteria. The most common criteria for diagnosis add a failure to ovulate on a regular basis. However, for many women what this means is they have long menstrual cycles (35 days or longer on most occasions) but they COMPLETE ovulate. Some women with PCOS get unhealthy eggs because their periods are too far apart, in many cases it's correctable with herbs, diet or drugs. Many women with PCOS also have a thyroid condition. Frequently, if this is treated they understand ovulate. Many women with PCOS have frequent miscarriages, but they eventually possess a healthy baby-often thanks to progesterone cream or suppositories. Some women discover that losing weight, taking vitex or even other herbs, or reducing stress lead them to begin ovulating (for me it was all three!). Some learn to detect ovulation through cervical mucus together with basal body temperatures (BBT or even temperature charting). All over again, these women often have healthy babies without medical intervention. It is hard to learn how many women with PCOS get pregnant without help since rather than weight lifting are first diagnosed with PCOS because they're having trouble getting pregnant. Often metformin or other insulin-sensitizing drugs work wonders and they are able to get pregnant and carry a newborn to term. The facts are, only a small amount of women with PCOS ever make it to the condition of trying fertility meds. Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is often the first drug of choice since it is cheap and easy to take. I did get studies indicating that Clomid alone works for 70% of women with PCOS. Other women find that they need Clomid together with metformin or stronger sperm count drugs. The success rate tends to drop a bit after a while and stronger methods are tried, but the bottom line is that most women with PCOS and want children keep these things. Even for those who are told they will for no reason succeed at getting together with staying pregnant, there is notably reason to hope. Several pals of mine have shocked themselves and their doctors by conceiving after years of infertility. "Lisa" adopted three children and found herself pregnant with her late 30's. It seems that for many women their own PCOS symptoms mellow out as they get older. "Anne" went to the doctor to find out why she was infertile after a long time of marriage-she was 3 already months pregnant and young man number two followed just 15 months later. "Susan" had three miscarriages and was told she would never carry a infant to term. Four months later your lady was pregnant with the woman's daughter and her son is eighteen months younger. "Barb" got pregnant when she hasn't been even thinking of fertility now counts herself extremely blessed to have two healthy boys. Actually, i know many women who have done everything possible to get pregnant, even IVF, and have not succeeded. But the majority of women with PCOS DO get pregnant. There is even more reason to expect the young women who are just now learning they have PCOS. First, they are more likely to be diagnosed at all. This means many women are going to be diagnosed who would are overlooked ten or fifteen years ago when my generation was initially beginning the march from doctor to doctor looking for answers. We know so much more than we did then. Treatments, both natural together with medical, are much, greater than ever. In addition, being diagnosed now means they have the opportunity to prevent much of your physical and emotional trauma older women experienced because our doctors just didn't recognize how to help us. My advice to any particular woman may be to do all you can to extend your fertility (see my other articles and my books to acquire more information about this). Then do your best to relax and let your system work. The odds are with you ultimately. PCOS Pregnancy (Comment on this)
