How to Get Pregnant Fast

One of the leading causes of infertility and conception problems in women is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. The over production of insulin is a major reason why PCOS occurs. This can result in women’s bodies trying to counteract the insulin by beginning to produce androgens or male hormones. This induces different response and effects in a woman’s body, and one such effect can be infertility which makes getting pregnant with PCOS a difficulty.

There are also other effects which are a result of PCOS. Every woman will suffer from different symptoms, and no two women’s experience is exactly the same, however there are some similarities. There are some symptoms which are commonly experienced by PCOS sufferers, and these include the development of type two diabetes, weight gain or obesity, pain in the pelvis, acne and an increase in hair on the chest back or face as well as thinning head hair. For many women these other symptoms become insignificant when compared with infertility.

PCOS generally interrupts the normal menstrual functions. In the first stages of the cycle the ovaries develop tiny follicles inside of which are the eggs. As the cycle continues, only one follicle will develop fully and it is from this follicle that the egg comes out of during ovulation. There is a hormone called LH which is responsible for setting this all in motion, and the body responds in the menstrual cycle to rising levels of LH. Sufferers of PCOS don’t normally release enough of the hormone to actually bring on ovulation. What this means is that many of the follicles that usually mature into eggs, turn into cysts instead. These cysts are the ones which are visible when women get ultrasound testing. “String of pearls” is the name many attribute to the look of these cysts on the ovary. On top of this, the menstrual cycle can become very irregular or cease outright in women with PCOS.
