Women suffering with PCOS produce too much of a typically male hormone called Androgen. When it is too abundant, the Androgen prohibits the body from allowing a healthy egg to be released from the ovary into the fallopian tubes. Leaving the woman unable to conceive a child. Instead, the immature eggs turn into small cysts, and are retained inside of the ovaries. These retained cysts will continue to contribute to steadily elevated levels of Androgen in the body. Serving only to fuel the cycle of PCOS further. For women living with a PCOS diagnosis, the answers to their fertility can run the line from very hopeful to very grim. While some women may need minor hormone therapy to regulate their cycles and work to correct the abundance of Androgen. Others may be left considering reproductive technologies and even surrogacy as the best way to create their families.
