PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is one of the most common hormonal conditions in women and a major reason behind irregular cycles and fertility struggles. While it can make conception challenging, the good news is that with the right care, most women with PCOS can achieve a healthy pregnancy. At Aadhya9 Multispeciality Hospital, fertility specialists create personalised treatment plans to restore ovulation, balance hormones, and improve natural conception chances.

How PCOS Affects Ovulation and Fertility

PCOS occurs when the ovaries don’t function the way they should. Instead of maturing and releasing an egg every month, multiple small follicles remain underdeveloped. This leads to unpredictable or absent ovulation—the main reason women with PCOS face difficulties conceiving.

Hormonal imbalance plays a major role. PCOS disrupts normal levels of LH, FSH, estrogen, progesterone, and androgens. Many women also have insulin resistance, which increases insulin levels and pushes androgen production higher. This chain reaction affects egg growth, menstrual regularity, and overall fertility.

Even though ovulation becomes irregular, women with PCOS often have a high number of eggs—making PCOS one of the most treatable fertility conditions.

Ways to Improve Natural Pregnancy Chances With PCOS

Many women look for “PCOS how to get pregnant naturally,” and the answer often starts with simple, effective lifestyle changes.

1. Healthy Lifestyle Adjustments
A small weight reduction of 5–10% can greatly improve ovulation. A low-GI diet, strength training, yoga, better sleep, and stress control can significantly restore cycle regularity.

2. Supplements That Support Hormones
With medical advice, supplements like myo-inositol, folic acid, vitamin D, and omega-3 can help improve hormonal balance and support ovulation.

3. Tracking Ovulation
Using ovulation kits, monitoring basal temperature, or doing follicular scans helps predict the fertile window and increases the chance of natural conception.

When natural methods don’t restore ovulation, fertility treatments become the next step.

Treatment Options for PCOS-Related Infertility

At Aadhya9 Multispeciality Hospital, doctors use a step-by-step approach, starting with the simplest treatments first.

1. Ovulation-Inducing Medicines
Letrozole is currently the most effective medication for inducing ovulation in PCOS. Clomiphene and metformin are also used—especially when insulin resistance is present.

2. Follicular Monitoring
Regular ultrasound scans help track follicle growth and ensure ovulation happens safely.

3. IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
IUI may be recommended when you are ovulating but still not conceiving, or when sperm motility needs support. During IUI, processed sperm is placed directly into the uterus to improve fertilisation chances.

If multiple cycles don’t lead to pregnancy, the next step is IVF.

IVF for PCOS: Highly Successful With Proper Care

Women with PCOS often respond very well to IVF because they usually have a high egg reserve. The IVF process includes controlled ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, and embryo transfer.

At Aadhya9, specialists use customised medication doses and safe protocols to prevent OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome). Techniques such as low-dose stimulation, antagonist protocols, GnRH-agonist triggers, and freeze-all cycles ensure safe and effective treatment.

Final Thoughts

PCOS may delay pregnancy, but it doesn’t have to stop it. With the right lifestyle changes, medical guidance, and advanced fertility treatments at Aadhya9 Multispeciality Hospital, women with PCOS can achieve excellent fertility outcomes. Early diagnosis and personalised care make all the difference in your journey toward parenthood.
