PCOS can make conceiving harder because ovulation is irregular, but most women with PCOS can become pregnant, often with relatively simple steps and good medical guidance.
Steps that improve the chance of ovulation
- Weight: if you are overweight, losing even 5–10% of body weight can restore regular cycles and ovulation in many women.
- Diet: favour whole grains, pulses, vegetables, protein and healthy fats, and cut back on sugary drinks, sweets and refined flour to keep insulin levels steady.
- Exercise: aim for regular moderate activity, such as brisk walking, most days of the week.
- Sleep and stress: poor sleep and chronic stress can worsen hormonal balance.
- Stop smoking and limit alcohol and caffeine.
Medical options
Doctors may prescribe medicines to improve insulin sensitivity or to induce ovulation, and in some cases suggest assisted reproduction. Your partner’s semen analysis and a check of your tubes are part of a complete evaluation.
Folic acid and check-ups
Start folic acid before trying to conceive, and have blood sugar, thyroid and blood pressure checked. Women with PCOS are at higher risk of gestational diabetes, so early antenatal care is important.
