Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warrior’s hand
Psalm 127: 3 & 4
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility in women of childbearing age, and I struggled with infertility for over a decade, because of this condition.
The reason my struggle was so long, I believe, was because, at the time, I did not understand much about this condition and did not try to research information in this regard. I really beleive that it if I had the necessary information, then I would have been able to work with my doctor in an effective manner, to get results sooner. I therefore cannot stress too much, how important it is that you know all about your diagnosis. so that precious time wont be loss, because I know you are eager to hold your baby in your arms.
The good news is, there is now a lot of information only a finger tip away, regarding PCOS and there are treatments available to help you get pregnant, if you want to start a family and is finding that infertility caused PCOS is causing you not to conceive.
PCOS causes very irregular periods in women, but many do have regular monthly periods, and do not ovulate (a condition known as annovulation), and so, is still not able to get pregnant. It is recommended that women who fall in this category, do ovulation testing monthly, with ovulation predictor kits, (these can be found in any drug store or pharmacy), to know if they are ovulating or not. If they find that they are not ovulating, there are two drugs that are recommended to help achieve ovulation. These are Clomiphene Citrate and Metformin, ask your doctor about them.
For most women with PCOS, weight is an issue and it is recommended that you lose some weight even before you try the above drugs, because this does make a woman’s chances of conceiving even greater.
