Hey there, fellow warriors! I wanted to share a bit about my experience with undergoing IVF while dealing with PCOS. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, doubts, and hope all mixed together. PCOS added an extra layer of challenge to the already intense IVF process. The uncertainty, the waiting, the medications - it all gets overwhelming at times.
I’ve had moments of feeling defeated, wondering if this journey will ever lead to a positive outcome. But then, there are those tiny glimmers of hope that keep me going. It’s essential to find a supportive community during this time, people who understand the unique struggles of dealing with PCOS and undergoing fertility treatments.

I am dealing with PCOS and wondering if the fertility treatment timeline differs for someone with PCOS compared to someone without. PCOS may mean having more eggs, but possibly lower quality. My clinic prescribed supplements like CoQ10 and Melatonin to improve egg quality. They also put me on 2 months of birth control pills for suppression. To avoid OHSS, my clinic carefully plans injections and medications during the stimulation cycle. Despite my first consultation happening in November, I didn’t start a stimulation cycle until August due to batch cycles and necessary testing.
