PCOS - How to Fall Pregnant Naturally with PCOS
How do you increase your fertility and fall pregnant with PCOS?
PCOS is a leading cause of lowered fertility in women and is often poorly diagnosed. If you experience irregular periods, weight gain (despite diet and exercise), and sugar cravings, acne, and excess facial hair you may have PCOS. This means that you may find it difficult to fall pregnant naturally. Natural treatments for PCOS and improving your fertility do work and can dramatically increase your odds of falling pregnant naturally.
Diagnosed with PCOS and worried about your fertility?
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, affects approximately 7% of women. Often poorly diagnosed, it can leave you feeling frustrated and helpless at successfully maintaining a healthy weight and frustrated with years of trying for a baby with no success.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS refers to multiple cysts on the ovaries and a host of other problems that go along with them, including lack of ovulation, lowered fertility, menstrual abnormalities, facial hair, male pattern baldness, acne, and obesity. 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 & elevated androgen levels.
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
- And last but not least: your periods stop, become irregular or become painful
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 the most important.
Naturopathic treatment of hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS such as:
- Oestrogen imbalance
- Testosterone Imbalance
- Androgen Imbalance
- DHEA Imbalance
|
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Histamine Imbalance
- CCK Imbalance
- Insulin Imbalance

... is successful and will dramatically increase your odds of falling pregnant naturally with PCOS.
Falling pregnant naturally with PCOS
Fertility problems are a common symptom of polycystic ovarian syndrome due to hormones and a complex web of interacting factors. This is why for women with PCOS, falling pregnant naturally can be challenging.
To fall pregnant with PCOS naturally and have a healthy pregnancy, you need to commence a natural fertility program specifically tailored to your hormones.
Here's why...
Firstly, it's overly simplistic to focus only on insulin and rely on a fad diet or single drugs such as metformin or clomid to fall pregnant naturally with PCOS.
To fall pregnant naturally with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, (PCOS) you need a fertility and pre conceptive care program to treat the cause ... not just symptoms.

Secondly, lowered fertility with PCOS is caused by a complex web of factors that sabotage your efforts at falling pregnant naturally.
Why Can't I Fall Pregnant Naturally with PCOS?
There are many reasons why you can’t fall 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
I work with women everyday who suffer from PCOS and can't fall pregnant no matter how hard they try.
Not sure if hormones and PCOS are making falling pregnant difficult?
I'm Over Weight due to PCOS - will it affect my fertility
Hormones play a large role in PCOS.
- Oestrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Androgens
- Insulin
... All contribute to PCOS and they all affect your metabolism leading to subsequent weight gain. Weight gain decreases your fertility and lowers your chances of falling pregnant naturally.
So 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.
So 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.
So 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.
So 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.
So 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. It is important to realize that it is possible to treat PCOS naturally without surgery or drugs and fall pregnant naturally.
