One of the most challenging aspects of PCOS is its potential to interfere with fertility. Women with PCOS often face difficulties when trying to have a baby, which can be emotionally and physically tough.
To help you understand this issue better, let's explore seven common symptoms of PCOS that may make it harder to get pregnant.
1. Irregular Periods
Irregular periods are a typical sign of PCOS. Women with PCOS often have periods that don't come regularly or even skip months altogether. This can make it really tricky to know when you're ovulating—the time when you're most likely to conceive.
2. Lack of Ovulation
Another common issue for women with PCOS is not ovulating, which means your ovaries aren't releasing eggs regularly. Without ovulation, you can't get pregnant naturally.
3. Hormone Imbalance
PCOS messes with your hormones, causing imbalances. High levels of male hormones (androgens) and problems with insulin can throw off your body's hormonal harmony, which is crucial for getting pregnant.
4. Trouble with Insulin
Many women with PCOS have trouble with insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. High insulin levels can lead to more androgens and worsen the hormonal imbalance, affecting fertility.
5. Being Overweight
Lots of women with PCOS struggle with being overweight, and this can lower your chances of getting pregnant. Extra body fat can cause hormonal changes that affect ovulation and make it harder to conceive.
6. Ovarian Cysts
Small cysts on your ovaries are a common feature of PCOS. These cysts can mess with how your ovaries work and affect fertility.
7. Problems with the Uterine Lining
Women with PCOS may have issues with their uterine lining (called the endometrium), which can make it tough for a fertilized egg to stick around. This can result in difficulty maintaining a pregnancy, even if fertilization happens.
