I have PCOD. What are my chances of conceiving?

I have been suffering from PCOD from the time I got my periods for the first time. I have tried various treatments, but my periods still continue to be irregular. What are my chances of conceiving?

A lot of factors play into this including weight and age. If you are overweight I suggest lossing at least 5% of your body weight. Adipose tissue increases testosterone which can affect pregnancy rates. By lowering the fat content in your body you may help balance your hormones.

Also you may consider supplements containing inositol. Pregnitude is a good one. Your body naturally makes this but this hormone has been shown to support ovulation.

I never say never regarding pregnancy with any woman.

Also remember there are other possible factors. Make sure your tubes are open via HSG etc.... In otherwise you have a diagnosis but let's make sure there
Is nothing else going in
I think you have a fighting change.

I hope this helps
After one year of trial, get a basic infertility test for both of you.

You are correct in your assumption that it may take you more time to conceive than friends that have regular cycles. The good news is that when you are ready to get pregnant, there are many medications that can regulate your periods and help you to conceive.
With the proper diagnosis and treatment regime set up by your doctor and his/her recommendations for the use of possibility drugs, you should have an excellent chance for a pregnancy. If weight is a complicating factor also, find someone to help you with a strict weight loss program.
It can be a challenge, but it's possible. Continue to see your gynecologist for management of your periodic menstrual flow and to help you conceive. You may need the help of a reproductive endocrinologist (Infertility Subspecialist!)
