Polycystic ovary: symptoms and treatments

Trying to conceive
Fertilization

Polycystic ovary syndrome, also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, affects 5-10% of women, mostly young.

  • It is a hormonal disorder in which numerous benign cysts form on the ovaries.
  • The main symptoms are the absence or disturbance of menstrual cycles and ovulation, high secretion of male hormones, weight gain, and even obesity.
  • Usually, an ultrasound is enough to confirm the diagnosis.
  • If you find yourself in this situation, your gynecologist will suggest several treatments, depending on your wishes for a child.
  • The goal will be to restore your hormonal balance and fertility.

Metformin, and my doc put me on letrozole, yes it is used for fertility so yes it will make your cycles regular but without using condoms you will get pregnant!

I personally don’t, but I do know there’s a diet that helps out a lot with pcos symptoms and stuff and should in theory help you conceive. It all looked pretty healthy so I think it would work with your diabetes as well. There’s also a holistic brand called Acetrophypure that is supposed to help a lot with conceiving. But aside from all of that I would work along side an Obgyn to see what might work best for you

Well girls, I haven't been on in a while. I unfortunately had to go on birth control because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. And I have to stay on birth control for 4 months and then go back to see if I have endometriosis 😞. I honestly have no hope of ever having kids, but I'm not going to stop trying .
