23 May 2009If your doctor told you that getting pregnant with PCOS was impossible, he was wrong. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition that affects the fertility, but its root cause is a hormone imbalance.
PCOS is characterized by: irregular, excessive or no menstrual period, a lack of ovulation, poor quality eggs, and sometimes miscarriages. There are other symptoms that dont directly affect the fertility, but are a sign that the hormones are out of balance. These include: high blood sugar, adult acne, excess body and facial hair, excessive hair loss, and obesity with a more masculine body shape.
Unlike most women who have their estrogen and progesterone level high, Women who have PCOS have increased levels of androgens also. Androgens, which are male hormones, do not have any important role in female fertility or in the menstrual cycle. These increased androgens also cause irregular menstruation and ovulation and does not give a healthy environment for egg formation.
The dosage of oral contraceptive pills are increased by most medical treatments to bring back the progesterone and oestrogen hormone balance. But there are many associated side effects using contraceptive pills. These are not prescribed for women who want to become pregnant as the main role of these contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy.
There is a natural approach which not only helps to conceive with PCOS but improves the overall health of the patient. The first step to be taken is to reduce weight with proper diet, eat lot of fresh organic wholefoods and do not take food with high glycemic index. Herbal remedies like Wulong-Oolong tea, which helps to lose your weight fast and Crave-Ex, which are carbohydrate blockers can be taken.
The next important step is detoxification. For this you should not take the most common chemicals like nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and refined sugar, which worsens your condition. Body cleanses can be used to increase the detoxification rate and improve your fertility and to bring balance between your hormones.
There are herbs that help ovarian cysts, and help to balance the hormones and stimulate ovulation. I have been using CystClear for about 18 months in my clinic, and I am getting some very good results. My clients with PCOS have started to menstruate more regularly, they have lost weight, regained their feminine figures, and some have now become pregnant.
The herbal blend for getting pregnant with PCOS should not be mixed with allopathic medical treatments, as they are very powerful.
