If you are struggling with PCOS, being overweight or obese, or infertility, you are no doubt on a very hard road.
These challenges can be a very isolating and desperately painful experience. Many people around you won’t understand. In fact, they can’t because they are not wearing your shoes. I know women who have tried almost everything to shed unwanted pounds, often unsuccessfully. This was me for many years. I also know women who have tried and tried to become pregnant, and can’t achieve what seems so very easy to many of their friends.
But it is possible to turn your infertility, your excessive weight and your Polycystic Ovary Syndrome around, and these things have considerable effects on the other.
“Today I found out I am pregnant!”
“I wanted to send you a private email to personally thank you for all the help and information. I have PCOS. I have known if I had it since I was 16, I’m now 24. My partner and I have been trying to fall pregnant for the past 3.5 years with no luck. I decided to read and follow your tips and advice. I have had a much better understanding of PCOS and why I had all these horrible symptoms. I’ve lost 10kgs.
I’m getting married in 3 weeks, and I wanted to look good. My acne cleared up, and my facial hair is not as bad. But what I really wanted to thank you for is that today, three weeks from our wedding, I found out I am pregnant. Never thought it would happen especially naturally, we had planned to get fertility treatment as soon as we got back from honeymoon. So thank you again, you have helped another PCOS sufferer achieve a miracle.“

Losing weight can help boost ovulation, reduce inflammation, balance your hormones, and positively impact your fertility. In fact, I have observed this in practice, repeatedly.
If you are struggling with PCOS, weight loss needs to be correctly addressed. The “calories in, calories out” theory is ever so simple, and doesn’t do much to help you if you have this syndrome. In fact, it can leave you feeling depressed and hopeless. Even when you’ve followed a diet to the letter, you don’t drop weight, or the weight re-finds you quickly and with a vengeance.
18 PCOS success tips: for increased weight loss, improved fertility & a healthier life gives you a list of actionable PCOS weight loss strategies.
And if you would love to become a mum?
Start by learning whether you are ovulating and how to induce ovulation if not.
There are evidence-based strategies to enhance PCOS-related fertility and weight loss.

No one deserves infertility. I’m praying for everyone on this painful road.Most of us find out we have PCOS in 20s and 30s, when we have problems getting pregnant and see a doctor. That’s frustrating, but PCOS can happen at any age after puberty! It’s also known the risk of PCOS may be higher if you have obesity or if you have a mother, sister, or aunt with PCOS. Having PCOS does not mean you can’t get pregnant. PCOS is one of the most common, but treatable!! causes of infertility in women. I myself turned to IVF to conceive my baby.
You are absolutely right, Linny. PCOS does not mean it’s impossible to have babies. For some women, this is very easy. For others, like yourself, it can be a challenge. I’m glad to hear that you had success with IVF!
