Although fertility is often reduced with PCOS you can still become pregnant.The chance of becoming pregnant depends on how often you ovulate. Some women with PCOS ovulate now and then, others not at all. If you do not ovulate but want to become pregnant, then fertility treatments have a high chance of success. The common treatment is with a drug called clomiphene. This works by causing ovulation. Other fertility treatments may be tried if clomiphene does not work.
Treatments do vary although Dianette is one of the commoner ones. Metformin (an anti-diabetic drug) is another commonly used treatment. Don't be scared there is help there for your condition.
There is an organisation for women who are affected by PCOS and they are a good source of information, support and advice. You can contact them on:
www.verity-pcos.org.uk
Good luck and take care.
