Answer 2

I have PCOS so I understand how you are feeling. In the majority of women PCOS is caused by high levels of the hormone insulin, casued by a condition called insulin resistance. Some of the symptoms of PCOS may include excess weight around the waist, excessive hair in the wrong places, acne, unexplained fatigue, low blood glucose after meals, mood swings, irregular periods, no periods or problems getting pregnant. I would suggest that you have a good chat to your Doctor about it as they may be able to prescribe some form of medication such as Metformin which works by reducing symptoms. Your Dr should tell you about it and it's possible side effects. I would also suggest that you get yourself a copy of 'The New Glucose Revolution - Managing PCOS' by Prof Jennie Brand-Miller, Prof Nadir R. Farid & Kate Marsh - a very worthwhile read! Good luck!!

Answer 3

Yes, some women with PCOS have had problems with trying to conceive or sustain a pregnancy. It is not curable but there are ways to manage it. One girl I know took a medicine that is used to help Diabetes because some women with PCOS get Insulin Resistance (one step below full blown Diabetes) and some time after she started to take it she was able to get pregnant. The little girl is now about 5 years old.

Polycystic (pah-lee-SIS-tik) ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. With PCOS, women typically have:

high levels of androgens (AN-druh-junz). These are sometimes called male hormones, although females also make them.
missed or irregular periods
many small cysts (sists) in their ovaries. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs.
