One of the biggest struggles I see with PCOS is dealing with infertility.
The desire to have ones own children is strong. But unfortunately, PCOS is the leading cause of infertility in women.
But I do hear about misinformation that is shared from doctors about PCOS.
I recently talked with a woman in her mid 40’s who found out she had PCOS as a teenager. When she was diagnosed, she was told she’d never be able to have children.
But how did this doctor know this? They based everything off the fact she had PCOS, nothing more than that.
Because of what this doctor said, she never tried having children even though her body may have been very capable of pregnancy and carrying a baby full term.
Here’s the deal, having PCOS does not guarantee that someone will struggle with infertility. The majority of women with PCOS can and do have children. Researchers tell us that only about 20% of women with PCOS actually struggle with infertility.
But if you were to jump into a PCOS forum it would seem like EVERYONE has this struggle. Why is that? Well, it has to do with the fact that the majority of women who get diagnosed with PCOS get that confirmation because they are struggling to have children.
Most people with PCOS are walking around without knowing why they have the symptoms they do.
Last week a lady told me that she has all the symptoms, but her doctor won’t test her because, “it wouldn’t change how I help you.”
That tells me the doctor doesn’t understand the condition and she needs to move on to a new doctor.
One of the reasons I love working with PCOS is because I can be a small part in helping someone grow their family.
Like Devan…
Devan and I first talked about 6 months ago. She had one goal in mind… growing her family.
She and her husband had been trying to have children for a couple years with no success.
Now, I want to make myself VERY clear. I CANNOT guarantee that what I’m about to say will result in your pregnancy. But what we did for Devan, and dozens of other woman WILL improve your chances.
After Devan and I talked we got to work. I don’t have enough space and time to tell you each and every step, but I want to outline two things we did.
First, we focused on fat loss. I’ve said this over and over again, and will continue to say this until research shows me otherwise.
For someone with PCOS, fat is toxic. Fat cells release hormones that impact PCOS in a negative way. The only way to improve these hormones is to lose the fat.
I know that you are told this over and over again, and it has been difficult to lose the fat. That’s why I’ve created the Fat Extraction Method to make this process easier. I’ve explained this method in the past and will continue to talk about this method in the future.
Fat loss doesn’t need to be difficult. Along with that, to see the improvements that we want to see in our health doesn’t require a lot of weight to be lost.
A lady I worked with named Cami only lost 15 pounds before she found out she was pregnant and now has a health little boy.
Devan didn’t actually lose any weight. But she sure did lose a lot of fat.
Now, the second thing we did to help Devan was to get her taking carnitine.
I’ve talked about the benefits of carnitine for PCOS a lot. I’m still surprised that it hasn’t become a mainstream conversation in the PCOS community.
Several studies have shown that PCOS causes a deficiency in carnitine. And fertility research has several studies showing that carnitine improves the chances of getting pregnant as well as improves the health of the baby when it is in the embryo state.
So, here’s the thing, if you have PCOS and you want to have children, start taking carnitine as soon as you can and work to burn the fat.
And if you’d like some help in reaching your fat loss goals go to FatExtractionMethod.com
