Fertility issues - PCOS Tips For Conception.

 



When I was 14, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and to be honest, I wasn't aware of the impact it might have in a woman's health overall, but my sypmtoms were: bloating, hormonal unabalance, weight gain, liquid retention, hair growth in the face and legs (even in my neck), constant yeast infections but I found out that nutriton played an important part in treating my PCOS. I recommend  visiting a OBGYN to get diagnosed and treated but what helped a lot wasn't birth control pills or anything like that. These are the things that helped me in my case:

  • Reducing ultrapocessed foods, refined sugars and carbs (temporarily because I love to eat) I adapted my life to eat healthier and in a more oganic way, but that didn't prevent me to keep eating the things I liked, I just reduce the amount of times I ate junk food in general.
  • Antioxidants are your best friend, foods like pomegranates, blueberries, pecans, walnuts, green tea, red beans and dark chocolate, they are high in antioxidants and magnesium.
  • Resting when your body ask you to, it's recommended to sleep at least 8hrs a day but if you feel you need more, listen to your body.

  • Moving your body,  YES, excercising can have a direct impact in your health overall, including hormonal balance.

  • Stress Levels (Cortisol) High stress pushes your adrenal glands to produce more androgens (male hormones), which worsen PCOS symptoms like acne, hair loss, and missed periods. Chronic stress also spikes blood sugar, feeding into insulin resistance.

  • Environmental Toxins (Endocrine Disruptors): Daily exposure to certain chemicals found in plastics (BPA), some skincare products (parabens and phthalates), and strong household cleaners can mimic hormones in the body, confusing your endocrine system and flaring up PCOS.

I tried this for 3 months and after more than 5 years of infertility, that marked the difference, and also keep in mind that your couple should keep healthy habits as well as this directly affects sperm quality. Another important factor in order to get pregnant is always tracking your ovulation and avoid warm baths as they affect the sperm life directly. and if you suspect your husband might be the issue, consult a doctor to do a sperm count test. 

I wish you the best of lucks on your conception journey!
