PCOS Support Group - Caribbean believes that a healthy lifestyle has greater benefits to women with PCOS. When we say healthy lifestyle we mean proper eating habits (not dieting and starving), continuous exercise regime inclusive of recreation/leisure activities.
The number of women with PCOS is not as low as you may think. Many women with PCOS are undiagnosed; this is because they have never had to seek fertility treatment (which is when a lot of women get their diagnosis). So, we don't hear about those.
Verity website conducted a poll of almost 600 women, and almost half of those women conceived naturally
How did you conceive your first child?
Clomid: 17.82%
Ovarian drilling: 2.69%
Weight loss / diet: 6.55%
Fell naturally: 45.88%
IVF: 3.19%
IUI: 1.51%
Alternative therapy: 1.85%
Metformin: 7.56%
Combination of above: 4.03%
Other: 8.91%
PCOS Support Group Caribbean is advocating for, a close as possible, natural conception.
