    About this ebook

    1 in every 10 women in the United States are diagnosed with PCOS, yet are still confused with what that even means for their future as a potential mother. Does this sound familiar to you?

    Many women hear the term "PCOS," but may not know exactly what it stands for, nor what it is.

    PCOS is short for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it is a common hormonal disorder among women between the ages of 20 and 45 years.

    Although common, the symptoms that coincide with the condition can be quite bothersome, and may include:

    • Weight gain
    • Excessive hair growth, typically on the face, chest, or back regions
    • Irregular periods, or even absence of periods
    • Hair loss from the scalp
    • Mood swings
    • Difficulties getting pregnant

    According to UChicagoMedicine, PCOS heightens the risk of getting diabetes, endometrial cancer, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular irregularities later on in life if not properly treated and monitored.

    All hope is not lost though, so don't give up just yet! There is always an answer for everything, no matter how many times you feel like you're circling around the same issue.

    In PCOS, you will discover:

    • The 4 types of PCOS to be aware of, along with the best ways to treat them effectively at home
    • The surprising truth behind what to expect with PCOS symptoms
    • The #1 type of food to avoid in order to reduce the intensity of your symptoms
    • How the food you consume can either harm or help your recovery from the disorder, as well as what they are
    • Which natural healing agents are effective for the treatment
    • Why becoming pregnant while having PCOS isn't impossible and how to increase your chances
    • The bad habits damaging your likelihood of fertility
    • The one pill most doctors recommend as the holy grail for treatment

    And much more.

    Even if you have been told by your doctor that you have no chance of getting pregnant because of PCOS, there may still be a possibility for you. Where there is a will, there is a way, and if you have always wanted kids of your own, then you owe it to yourself to seek out all the information out there.

    There are many misconceptions about the condition, often confusing both doctors as well as their patients, but now is the time to put your foot down and demand an explanation.

    It may not even be the pregnancy issue that concerns you the most, but the frustrating weight fluctuations and constant acne.

    You may be thinking, "Why me? I don't want to deal with this right now like you said, the condition in itself is not fatal," and then box it up and shove it onto the subconscious shelf labeled: "I'll do it later."

    Putting off medical conditions for a later time often has a way of creeping back into your life, usually having evolved into something much more significant than when it had just started out.

    Do yourself a favor: get down to the bottom of your troublesome condition, and finally, let go of your persistent worry and aggravation.

    If you want to discover how you can break free from the grasp of PCOS and its burdens, and open up the option of starting a family of your own, then you need this book today!

      Introduction: Getting to Know More About PCOS

      PCOS means polycystic ovary syndrome. It is a type of disorder of the hormones and is very common in women who are in the ages of reproduction. This could start as early as twenty years old and go up to 45 years old. Women have even been diagnosed with it while they were still in puberty. This disorder does affect quite a few women. In fact, one in ten women are affected by it.

      PCOS is very common, as you can see. It is treatable and can be a cause of infertility and painful periods. The hormonal imbalance of PCOS can create major problems in the ovaries. The ovaries help to produce the eggs that women need in order to conceive a baby. When women have PCOS, the egg could not develop as it should during ovulation and this can begin to cause problems for women.

      There are four different types of PCOS. They all have different effects on women, but most of them do have the same treatments and symptoms. The first type of PCOS is called Insulin-resistant PCOS. This is a type of PCOS that is generally caused by sugar, trans fat, smoking cigarettes, and pollution. This type of PCOS triggers the ovaries to produce more testosterone instead of estrogen. The best way to get rid of this type of PCOS is to stop eating and drinking sugar altogether. There are small amounts of sugar that can be healthy for the body, but too much will cause this type of PCOS. Doctors can also recommend taking inositol for about six to nine months.

      Another type of PCOS is called Pill-induced PCOS. This is one of the most common types of PCOS and it will generally develop when women take birth control. The birth control pills can inhibit ovulation in women. These effects can last much longer after women stop using birth control in order to become pregnant. Many women will not begin to ovulate normally for many years after they have stopped using the pill. When women have periods that are happening before their normal cycle, they may have Pill-induced PCOS. When doctors run blood tests on these women, they tend to have a higher level of LH.

      Inflammatory PCOS is caused by inflammation of the body. This inflammation could begin in the ovaries but can also occur in other places internally. When a woman has unbalanced hormones, androgens get produced and PCOS can begin. This inflammation can be caused by quite a few factors. Stress, inflammatory diets, and toxins can cause the inflammation that causes this type of PCOS. Generally, women who have a gluten intolerance can be diagnosed with this type of PCOS. There are multiple symptoms of this type of PCOS such as headaches, skin allergies, and infections. When blood tests are taken, a vitamin D deficiency can be picked up. Doctors will suggest taking supplements of magnesium and vitamin D when this is diagnosed.

      Hidden PCOS is the fourth type of PCOS. This type of PCOS is fairly easy to get rid of. It takes about three to five months for it to be treated and it is usually caused by thyroid disease, lack of iodine (the ovaries do need iodine), a vegetarian diet, and using artificial sweeteners and sugars. Vegetarian diets can cause this type of PCOS because of the lack of zinc in this type of diet and the ovaries function best when they have heavier amounts of zinc. This type of PCOS is one that many doctors will suggest natural treatments for. A diet change is one of the easiest ways to resolve this type of PCOS.

      In this book, we will explain the causes and symptoms of PCOS, how to treat it, how it can cause infertility, and how you can still get pregnant even though you have PCOS. This is not a disorder that should keep you from trying to get pregnant, but it should help to inspire you to seek the treatments and talk to your doctor about safe ways to get pregnant with PCOS. This book will also share a lot of important information about what women can expect when they are diagnosed with PCOS. There are a lot of things that doctors will not tell women when they have been diagnosed. For example, not many doctors will dwell on the fact that women with PCOS may develop depression and may start to feel less than adequate. This is a completely natural way to feel and we will explain how to combat these feelings as well.

      Chapter 1: What Causes PCOS and What Are the Symptoms

      PCOS has recently been shown to occur in many more women than ever before. Doctors are concerned about this heavy rate of women being exposed to it and how it changes their entire body. The causes of it are clear, although, some women never know they have it until it is too late. There are a few causes that have been found, but in some cases, doctors are not sure what causes PCOS.

      Having heightened levels of androgens can cause it. These hormones are sometimes referred to as male hormones. Women do have smaller amounts of androgens in their bodies already, but when the amount of these hormones increases, PCOS can occur. These androgens control many things in the bodies of men, such as baldness. When women have too many androgens, they may start to hold in the eggs that should be released during the menstrual cycle. These androgens can also cause acne and extra hair growth. These are two of the signs that a woman may have PCOS.

      A higher number of androgens can also intervene with the communication from the brain during ovulation. This can cause the body to produce eggs, but not to release them as ovulation generally occurs. If a woman is trying to get pregnant during this time, it can change up the whole process. This can also cause cysts to form in the ovaries that can mature and grow. This can cause types of ovarian cancer and infertility.

      Another cause of PCOS is having higher levels of insulin. Insulin is a hormone in the body that controls how our food is turned into energy. Some people have insulin resistance and that is when the cells in our bodies do not respond commonly to insulin. This is what causes the amount
