Is it possible for a woman diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome to become pregnant?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a condition associated with anovulation and was first described in 1935 by Drs. Stein and Leventhal. Thus, the condition is also known as Stein Leventhal Syndrome. As originally described, the condition was associated with decreased menstrual flow, hirsutism, and obesity. However, we now know that the condition is much more complex than originally described. The cause or the event that precipitates the problem is unknown. Because you are not ovulating on a regular basis, you are less likely to conceive. As a result, many women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome require medication in order to precipitate ovulation. In general, if you have no other problems that would contribute to infertility, the majority of women are pregnant within three to five cycles. As they say, ‘individual results may vary’ since everyone is a bit different. With this said, you should feel encouraged.
