Pcos and Getting Pregnant - What You Need to Know

PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome known as PCOS has some very important ramifications for women who are trying to become pregnant. If you are one of the estimated 10% of women who suffer from this condition you may have serious problems when trying to conceive because of the odd hormonal imbalance in your body. This means PCOS and getting pregnant are not a good mix and even if you do become pregnant the chance of miscarriage is much higher than other women!

The problem with PCOS is the increased levels of male hormones such as testosterone that defective ovaries produce. While all women have some testosterone it is only about one seventh of what a man has and the female body is not built to have so much of this hormone. This condition seriously affects a woman's menstrual cycle as it interferes with the hormone signals that tell the various parts of the body when they need to release the egg and build up the womb to be ready for a possible baby. Women may suffer from irregular menstrual cycles that are too far apart or too close together or sometimes not at all! Picking the right time to become pregnant through all of this and a confused body is very hard and is risky for the baby as well.

So how do you know if you have PCOS? Obviously if your menstrual cycle is irregular you may have PCOS but it also causes other problems such as weight gain, acne, facial hair and mood swings. You can only be sure if you check up with your health care professional but with PCOS being such a widespread condition with an estimated 10% of all women suffering from it to some extent this should be a cause for concern for many.

So if you want a family and are worried about PCOS and getting pregnant you need to be sure you have the condition. IF you do suffer from PCOS then there is some good news, you have options. Recently though modern medicine has only harsh drugs and hormone injections, natural homeopathic treatments have become popular and successful with a great many women who have gone onto to give birth and overcome PCOS by adjusting their lifestyle so the body regulates its hormones better despite the condition.
