PCOS - How to Fall Pregnant Naturally with PCOS

What Is PCOS?

PCOS is a leading cause of lowered fertility in women and is often poorly diagnosed. PCOS refers to multiple cysts on the ovaries. Women suffering from this condition may also have varying degrees of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and an increased incidence of Type II diabetes, high cholesterol and elevated androgen levels.

If you suffer from PCOS and are not treating your condition,
you might never have children

What are the symptoms of PCOS?

You may:

Stop ovulating, or it becomes infrequent
Have trouble falling pregnant
Experience excess hair on the face and body
Suffer from acne
Suffer from high cholesterol for no reason
Gain weight steadily for no real reason
Suffer mood changes & thinning hair
Have irregular or painful periods or they may stop altogether

Why does PCOS occur?

PCOS occurs when you don't ovulate, which causes a disruption in the normal, cyclical interrelationship among female hormones, brain and ovaries.

The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. In the past, it was thought that PCOS was caused entirely by excess production of androgen. More recent research has shown that Metabolic Syndrome associated with insulin resistance and high levels of insulin play key roles in PCOS. This is why it has such a large influence upon fertility and can dramatically lower your chances of falling pregnant naturally.

Metabolic Syndrome may be the condition which best illustrates the long-term effects of our Western lifestyle habits. The usual suspects are responsible: high calorie, high carbohydrate diets, lack of exercise, hormonal imbalances and chronic stress are a few of the major causes of metabolic dysfunction.

Although genetic and environmental factors contribute to PCOS, obesity and physical in-activity are key factors.

Falling pregnant naturally with PCOS

There are many reasons why you will have difficulty falling pregnant naturally with PCOS. A few of these are:

Hormone imbalance
Genetics composition
Biochemical signalling disorder
Glandular weakness affecting fertility e.g. hypothyroidism
High Intake of Trans Fatty Acids
Oestrogen Dominance
Weight Gain
Elevated Insulin
Medications

In fact, fertility problems are a common symptom of PCOS. We have found that naturopathic treatment of these imbalances and weaknesses is very successful and will dramatically increase your odds of falling pregnant naturally.

If you have PCOS and want to fall pregnant, it is overly simplistic to focus only on insulin and rely on a fad diet or single drugs such as metformin or clomid. You need a fertility and pre-conceptive care program to treat the cause ... not just symptoms. You need to prepare your body for pregnancy to give yourself the best chance of carrying a healthy baby to term.

Natascha's Story

I'm 26 years old and I was finally diagnosed last year with PCOS after so many years of wondering what's going on with my body. My husband and I were trying to conceive, but after a year of trying with no result we started looking for answers.

I got my first period at age 14 and to start with it would only come once or twice a year. I was told it was normal and not to worry about it. By the time I finished high school I knew something wasn't right and eventually my doctor put me on birth control.

After about 8 months of taking it I started gaining weight fast. Over 6 months I gained 18 kilos. I started suffering from very bad migraines, bouts of dizziness, blurred vision, depression and mood swings. Something had to be done.

Unfortunately, my doctor didn't think it was a big deal and wanted to keep me on the pill. I refused to take the pills. And I definitely refused to just deal with life like this. I was 20 and felt emotionally and mentally drained.

Over the years I did a lot of research and eventually stumbled on Bump Fertility. I honestly had no idea about what to expect but it sounded like it could help. I filled in my questionnaire and paid my money, thinking all the time in the back of my head, I hope this is going to work!

I have to tell you I was amazed. Narelle suspected PCOS because of my symptoms and referred me for further testing, which came back positive. She explained to me what it was and changed my diet so it wouldn't get worse and would start to get better. I also took the herbs and vitamins that she recommended and I gradually started to feel well again. Over a few weeks I noticed a definite change. No more mood swings, no depression, no headaches and so on. I'm truly amazed with the results. My period became regular, the weight started to drop off and finally I fell pregnant! It's such a relief to know that this can be beaten naturally.

Suzie's Story

I was diagnosed with PCOS in October 2002. I had symptoms for about 3 years before that but they were ignored by my doctor, which was really frustrating and depressing. There is nothing worse than being unwell and being told there is nothing wrong!

When my symptoms became too severe to endure (I was bleeding severely and in so much pain) they had to listen. I landed in an ambulance because I lost consciousness due to massive blood loss. Luckily, I saw a new doctor.

My new OB/GYN knew exactly what it was and started treatment immediately. I had 2 large cysts removed, ovarian drilling, and was put on Metformin. I lost a little weight, which is hard to do with PCOS because of thyroid problems. But after a few months there was little progress and my doctor told me I'd likely never conceive.

One day I came across Bump Fertility on the internet and I had never thought of doing something natural to help my fertility. I didn't even know what a naturopath was but it made sense. Two months after starting the Bump Fertility program I was pregnant! I now thank God every day for my precious gift that I never thought I'd have.

Samantha's Story

I am 32 years old and married. I have PCOS but we decided to try for a baby. I went off the pill and in the first 2 years I would say I had 2 periods (needless to say no pregnancy). My GP suggested Clomid, but I wasn't ready for that yet.

I read about Chasteberry (Vitex) so started taking 1000mg a day in the hope that it would help bring back my periods. I also started eating a healthy diet. I did this for about 2 months and I found that although I felt different around my womb area, nothing happened.

A friend told me about Bump Fertility and how it was great for PCOS, so I decided to give it a go. Narelle took me off the Vitex and said that it was not the best choice and can make things worse in my situation. She made me a personalized tonic that was really amazing. She changed my diet and I was shocked at how many things I was eating that made my PCOS worse.

Within one cycle I had my period which was really yucky. Narelle said it was because of all the congestive build up. I began ovulating after the second cycle. By the third cycle I was pregnant.

Not sure if PCOS is making falling pregnant difficult?

How does Insulin affect PCOS?

Insulin resistance and excessive insulin production appears to cause the overproduction of androgens associated with PCOS, dramatically decreasing your fertility. Natural treatments of PCOS can assist in re balancing these hormones, so you can fall pregnant naturally!

Insulin transports sugar (in the form of glucose) out of the blood and into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it is converted into energy or stored as fat. Women with PCOS produce excess insulin, because their cells are "resistant" to insulin.

The body then compensates by producing more insulin. Insulin Resistance means that the process of removing sugar from the blood and into the cells is defective and the cells do not respond to insulin. The pancreas senses high levels of glucose and continues secreting insulin to remove sugar from the blood and into the cells.

Insulin resistance appears to lead to high levels of androgens, resulting in menstrual irregularities and ovulation problems associated with lowered fertility.

Implementing a natural fertility program specifically designed for PCOS can reverse this influence and dramatically improve the odds of you falling pregnant naturally.

How does Oestrogen affect my PCOS?

Oestrogen Dominance or high levels of estrogens caused by environmental toxins is associated with PCOS and can lower fertility.

Oestrogen dominance is associated with other hormonal imbalances that sabotage fertility such as:

Oestrogen causes insulin resistance, which results in impaired glucose tolerance or a rise in glucose levels, as it's not entering the cells where it's needed. This has a direct affect upon your fertility and sabotages your chances of falling pregnant naturally. A targeted natural fertility program for PCOS is a great place to start in balancing excess oestrogen levels.

Your genes and falling pregnant naturally with PCOS

Research has found that polycystic ovary syndrome is at least partly caused by genes. Genetically you may be predisposed to PCOS, but although you can't change your genes, you can change how your genes react to their environment. This is a key aspect of staying fertile longer and preserving your fertility for when you're ready to have a baby.

Biochemical signalling disorder and falling pregnant naturally

In addition to numerous hormones such as insulin, there are dozens of other signalling proteins in your tissues and blood that communicate information to your cells. A number of studies have shown that the complex interplay of signalling proteins in PCOS is disrupted causing lowered fertility and difficulties in falling pregnant naturally.

How does Leptin cause lowered fertility with PCOS?

Leptin, is a hormone produced by your fat cells and women with PCOS are prone to low leptin levels. It's involved in weight and appetite regulation. Leptin signals your brain when fat cells are full. This means that low levels of leptin can result in food cravings and cause weight gain and elevated insulin levels. Two major causes of infertility in women. Naturopathic treatment is successful in treating PCOS and dramatically improving your chances of falling pregnant naturally with PCOS.

How does Ghrelin lower your fertility and cause weight gain with PCOS?

Women with PCOS are prone to elevated ghrelin levels. Ghrelin is a "hunger hormone" and regulates how much food you eat, and feelings of hunger - directly influencing your weight and fertility.

How does Cholecystokinin (CCK) affect your fertility and cause weight gain with PCOS?

Women with PCOS have reduced Cholecystokinin (CCK) levels. CCK is a hormone released in the gastrointestinal tract when you eat a meal that slows down the digestive process and provides "Satiety" - Impaired CCK secretion causes greater frequency of binge eating leading to elevated insulin and resulting lowered fertility.

Glandular weakness eg Hypothyroidism and fertility

Thyroid imbalance and PCOS go hand in hand resulting in a weight gain and difficulties in falling pregnant naturally.

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can lead to a reduction of sex hormone binding globulin and an increase in free testosterone - one of the contributing factors to PCOS and lowered fertility in women.

If you have PCOS or think you do, take heart in realizing there are many things you can do naturally, without drugs to dramatically improve your odds of falling pregnant naturally.

Like any condition related to hormone imbalance, improving your lifestyle and with the right dietary changes; you can restore your health and fall pregnant naturally.

Commencing a natural fertility program designed for PCOS and tailored to your hormonal profile is a great place to start.

If you are looking for a natural treatment for Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)and want to fall pregnant now or dramatically improve your odds of falling pregnant in the future, then you have come to the right place.
