Does excess facial hair growth have anything to do with me not getting pregnant?

Question

Have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months now, periods are regular. Do you know of have you heard if unwanted facial hair has anything to do with to many male hormones maybe killing off the sperm??

Answer 1

I wouldn't say that the excess facial hair is the problem, but I know that unwanted facial is a sign of possibly PCOS, which I was diagnosed with in my late teens. The doctors have told me that women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) often have a difficult time getting pregnant.

I haven't tried to get pregnant myself, but you may want to do a bit of research on PCOS or talk to your doctor about any recent changes that you have had - such as the onset of unwanted facial hair. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The facial hair growth can be from many things - even heredity. There is a condition called PCOS, which has that as one of its symptoms, because of a hormonal imbalance, but that is often diagnosed for women with irregular periods, and other symptoms such as obesity, etc. You should check with your gynecologist, though, and have some hormone tests done.
It has nothing to do with your question about the sperm.
Six months isn't a very long time to be trying, so don't worry about that.

Answer 3

Male hormones don't kill sperm. But, unwanted facial hair, greasy hair, oily skin and similar signs can be related to an excess of male hormones in your body. That might cause some trouble in trying to conceive, beacuse it can affect your period (even if it seems regular).

Fortunately, it's easy to solve: by taking female hormones, you can solve it.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

please see your doctor and ask to be tested for pcos. excessive hair, obesity, irregualr periods, and insulin resistance are the most common signs. you might want to take a look at soulcysters.com It was YEARS before I was diagnosed-largely in fact to the excessive hair. but having excessive hair does not mean you have too many male hormones which is killing the sperm. with pcos, cysts form on the ovaries which can lead to infertility. however, there are medications to help alleviate pcos and bring the possibility of a baby.

Best of luck

Answer 5

excess facial hair is often a tell tale sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Which can cause some woman to have a bit of trouble getting pregnant. If you are overweight you may want to really look into this because that is usally the cause.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Excess facial hair is a sign of hormone imbalance. You should see your doctor.

Answer 7

It sounds like your body isn't producing enough estrogen and too much testosterone, which could definately be why you aren't getting pregnant. However, I don't think the male hormones necessarily "kill off" the sperm....talk to your doc about it.....
