It is a known fact that the incidences of PCOS leading to infertility and co-morbidities are on the rise, especially in the young population. Moreover, even doctors have revealed that 40% of teens coming to OPDs suffer from PCOS. And given the fact that numerous hormonal changes occur in the woman during PCOS, it hinders the ability to conceive. So if you are wondering about how to get pregnant if you suffer from POCS or if it is possible to conceive if you have PCOS, then here is what Dr Y S Nandanwar, Professor and Head of Department, Gynaecology, Lokmanya Tilak Medical College and Sion Hospital, Mumbai has to say.

If you suffer from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), it’s hard to get pregnant. This is because, in this condition, there is irregular or no ovulation, which in turn doesn’t cause the release of the egg. Hence, there is no egg, no fertilisation, no embryo formation and no pregnancy. However, this doesn’t mean that a woman suffering from PCOS can’t get pregnant. There are numerous treatment options that can help. Also Read - Estrogen can protect you from the flu: Boost levels of this hormone naturally

One of the common treatment approaches is the use of ovulation drugs or injections. These drugs when monitored along with diet, weight and exercise can help you to conceive. The drugs contain hormones that stimulate the ovaries to release one or more eggs. Hence, if you are not ovulating regularly or at all, with the help of ovulation drugs, you can get pregnant. In some cases, even invitro fertilisation is also used to ensure a successful pregnancy. This is usually seen if there’s difficulty for the sperm and ovum (egg) to meet, thus required assisted approach like IVF.

Also, if you are suffering from any risk factors or conditions like a thyroid problem, diabetes or obesity, then it is wise to control these conditions to help you to sustain the pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby. Hence, if you have a thyroid problem, medications to control the production of thyroid hormones are prescribed. And the same rule applies to diabetes. However, if you are obese, then diet control and exercise are the preferred choice of action to keep your weight under control. Here are 5 ways obesity affects your chances of getting pregnant.

However, it is wise to control a good gynaecologist to know about the condition and the chances of getting pregnant with PCOS. As in some cases, only weight reduction can help while in some use of ovulation drugs or injections is recommended to help you ovulate and conceive.
