Natural Ways To Get Pregnant With PCOS
If you have
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is commonly known as PCOS – and trying to get
pregnant is a very big challenge for you. Basically, PCOS occurs in as many as
7 to 10% of women during their childbearing age. PCOS affects the production of
hormones essential for becoming pregnant. As a result of egg quality issues and
ovulation, PCOS can make it difficult to conceive a child. But you don’t have
to worry because it can be treated by infertility doctors.
Moreover,
if you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, you have an excess of male hormones,
called androgens. While the ovaries of women produce androgens, an excess of
androgens disturbs the balance of other reproductive hormones. Estrogen and
luteinizing hormone are necessary for the development and maturation of an egg
every month. If you do not produce and release a mature egg from the ovary,
then you cannot
get pregnant. This process called ovulation and a lack of ovulation called
anovulation. It is one of the hallmarks of PCOS. Women who do not ovulate have
absent, over bleeding, or irregular menstrual cycles.
To avoid
all the problems and get pregnant in a natural way, you can follow the upcoming
steps.
Weight Loss
The first
step of therapy for treating PCOS-related infertility problem is weight loss.
Most women with PCOS struggle with weight gain. It is because PCOS negatively
affects how your body develops insulin, and it also causes obesity. If women
with PCOS do not ovulate regularly, they can’t conceive. Many studies have
found that losing weight can help you bring back ovulation. According to the study,
losing 10% to 15% of current weight will be enough to begin menstrual cycles.
Unfortunately, there is not much proof
that proves losing weight can help you get conceive in a natural way. But
still, research has found that women who reduce weight have a great chance of
having fertility
treatment success.
Diet plan
Losing some
weight is one of the positive steps to conceive, and at the same time, changing
your diet plan and eating in a way that keeps your blood glucose stable.
Moreover, it also plays a part in improving PCOS symptoms and regulating your
menstrual cycle. A diet that emphasized carbohydrates with a low glycemic index
may help women with PCOS. Low-GI foods will take longer to digest and keeps
your blood glucose levels stable for longer.
Women with
PCOS should follow a proper diet and eating healthy food helps them in
fertility treatment. Some studies have declared that a low-carb diet is the
best one for PCOS. But at the same time, other few studies have not found
low-carb advantages. You have to make sure your diet is rich, and it includes
nutrient-rich foods, adequate-protein, and low on high-sugar foods. And always
try to avoid junk food, outside food, and oil foods.
Exercise
Exercising regularly
is another positive thing that a woman with PCOS can follow to get pregnant in
a natural way. Proper exercise helps a woman reduce some weight and keep it
off, and it regulates her hormones also increase her chances of ovulation.
Still, we are not sure whether exercise and diet alone can help you conceive a
child. However, a healthy lifestyle and healthy food chain may help your fertility
treatments work better.
