Women who have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) often feel discouraged before they even begin trying to conceive a child. PCOS can negatively affect fertility, but there are many fertility doctors in Hawaii who offer therapeutic medical treatments that make it possible for women with this common endocrine disorder to create the families they’ve always wanted.

The infertility specialists from Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute have been helping women and men in Hawaii create beautiful families for over 30 years. They have helped thousands of women with PCOS. Medical experts have been studying the causes and effects of PCOS for years, so fortunately a great deal is known about how it works and how it can be treated. 

PCOS can cause infertility because it alters the body's natural ovulation cycle. Many women with PCOS have irregular periods, and some women don’t ovulate at all. Of course, to conceive a child there must be a mature egg that can be fertilized, and without ovulation, eggs simply don’t mature. Many women with PCOS undergo an induction of ovulation to increase their chances of getting pregnant. In general, women with PCOS who are under 35 years old are successful at getting pregnant and carrying a child to term when they take advantage of modern fertility treatments.

There’s no reason to give up the hope of having children just because you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Even women over the age 35 with PCOS have successfully conceived and gone on to have happy and healthy children.
