FAQ: What are the chances of pregnancy with pcos? (links to LOTS of research)
There is no one answer that anyone can give you since it will vary from woman to woman. Mainly because there are so many factors 'beyond' a pcos diagnosis that affect fertility.
Even without 'medical' intervention there is a LOT a woman can do to increase her chances of a) conception, and b) carrying to term.
Lifestyle changes are at the top of the list for increasing the likelihood of healthy pregnancy. Note: I do not necessarily mean 'weight loss'. In many cases, making significant changes in overall 'lifestyle' can restore reproductive healthy - even before significant (or any) 'weight' loss has occurred.
Below are several research studies on chance of pregnancy, chance of carrying to term, and the importance of lifestyle changes. Hopefully this will give you a good start to discuss all the options with your doctor. Happy reading To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.

Wow - thanks for all the info, Kat! I just had a miscarriage July 6th and have been preparing for a FU with my RE to discuss the possible reasons why. I want to be well-armed with all the available information on recent studies and this will certainly help!
