Answer 1

I think its meanly because we don't ovulate, the reason why we don't ovulate is because are the imbalance of our hormones, we have more testrones hormones (male hormones) then female hormones that cause ovulation, we do produce eggs but the eggs aren't mature enough so instead of the egg getting mature and ripen and travel threw the fallopian tube to be fertilze by a sperm, its stays a small peas size and turns into cycts filled with fluid causing the ovaries to develope bumpy cycts all over the ovaries, so this is the only reason why it is harder for us ladies with pcos to conceive, once u don't ovulate there isn't any eggs there to get fertilize


diagnois with pcos in April 07
ttc#1 for 4 years
taking Materna vitamins, Metformin 500mg twice a day, Clomid 100mg (3-7) and folic acid

Baby dust to you and wish you the best luck ever

Answer 2

Pcos is one of the easiest disorders to rectify certain problems but no-one woman has exactly the same symptoms. Most have irregular periods because of no ovulation or ovulating sometimes. Some have weight gain because of insulin resistance. then there is excess hair and depression, hormone problems the list goes on.
Sometimes it can be just that they don't ovulate or don't ovulate regularly. Other times it can be a luteal phase problem or hormonal. But insulin plays a big part in putting things right out of whack, and a lot of women report that things work better when on a drug called metformin, which helps the body use insulin better and more effectively so all the other hormones can work like they are supposed too. I have Pcos and have taken metformin and clomid to fall pregnant, but there is an increased rick of miscarriage because of the fertility drugs. I have had 4 pregnancies, two have been miscarriages but two have resulted in my beautiful children.
Msg me if there is any more questions or I have confused you.

Answer 3

The eggs do not mature because there is too much progesterone in the body (its a male hormone but women have it too). So, essentially, you do release an egg, but it doesn't fully develop.

Also, women with PCOS often have low self esteem, either because they think they can't conceive or because PCOS has been known to make women gain weight around the mid section.

But, you can also get fertility drugs for this condition that will help you conceive. I saw a woman on the TLC channel, (A Baby Story), and she had PCOS and she was having her third child. The drugs are inexpensive, even without health insurance, and you might even want to call you Health Department and ask about it.

Answer 4

Apart from the answers here already, such as hormones and the role they play, there are other factors.

In general, the risk factors for PCOS are all inter-linked, and are all risk factors for each other. These include diabetes, being over weight, irregular periods and other such things. Having PCOS may also mean you're at higher risk for these other things, if you don't already have them. The less healthy a person is, the harder is going to be to get pregnant.

PCOS is not a definate 'you will never have kids.' So don't despair, there are plenty of women who have still gotten pregnant despite having PCOS. :)

We're all wishing you luck.

Answer 5

Women with PCOS often have high levels of testosterone, which can be caused by an overproduction of insulin. That is why metformin can help women with PCOS ovulate... it stabilizes the production of insulin. So, the other factors of the condition cause poor or no ovulation which is why they don't conceive.
