Struggling with PCOS and fertility? Learn how Dr Rachael Knight at Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne offers expert, personalised care to help women with PCOS get pregnant.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition affecting up to 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It causes a cluster of problem including irregular menstrual cycles, elevated androgen and polycystic appearing ovaries on ultrasound.
Common symptoms of PCOS include:
Irregular or missed periods
Acne or oily skin
Excess facial or body hair
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Trouble getting pregnant
PCOS can range in severity and often goes undiagnosed for years.
How is PCOS Diagnosed?
A diagnosis of PCOS typically requires at least two of the following three criteria, known as the Rotterdam Criteria:
Irregular or absent ovulation
Elevated androgen levels (via blood tests or physical signs like acne or hirsutism)
Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
Additional tests may be done to rule out other hormonal disorders, like thyroid issues or hyperprolactinemia.
How PCOS Affects Fertility
PCOS is a leading cause of female infertility. It interferes with ovulation, making it harder to conceive. Even if ovulation occurs, hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance can make implantation and early pregnancy more difficult.
The good news? PCOS is manageable – and many women go on to have healthy pregnancies with the right support.
