How to Get Pregnant With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Getting pregnant can be complicated by many factors, and for women with Polycycstic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS for short, the complications can vary. From having irregular periods or cycles to repeated miscarriages, there are problems that some women with PCOS have to face.

Instructions

1. Use an ovulation kit. These can be purchased at most large stores, and they can help you determine your bodies natural ovulation cycle. When trying to get pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome, you need to know as much about your natural cycle as possible before talking to your doctor.

2. Take your temperature. By using the Basal Body Temperature gauge, you can detect at home when and if you are ovulating each month. Every morning take your temperature with a BBT thermometer. It will read your temperature to one-tenth of a degree. Chart your temperature every day and compare your temperature to the Basal Chart. 96.5 to 97.5 is normal the first two weeks of your cycle and 97.6 to 98.6 after you ovulate.

3. Treat infertility with Clomid. This can be prescribed by your doctor, and it will stimulate your ovaries and cause you to ovulate.

4. Try hormone therapy to produce more eggs. Again, this should be monitored by your doctor, and it will increase your production of eggs. This can lead to multiples or twins, but it does help many women conceive with PCOS.

5. Go in for IVF. Otherwise known as in vitro fertilization, this is the process of taking a viable egg from the mother and attempting to fertilize the egg with the father's sperm. There are risks to this type of conception, as with any other, and the success rates vary with age and health.

6. Remain healthy. Taking prenatal vitamins daily, maintaining healthy diet and exercise and refraining from consuming too much caffeine and nicotine increases your chances of getting pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome.
