PCOS and Fertility: Myths vs Facts Every Woman Should Know
Can women with PCOS get pregnant? We debunk common myths about PCOS and fertility and share how TelMD supports women through their journey.
For many women, a PCOS diagnosis comes with fear and uncertainty, especially around fertility. Unfortunately, misinformation often makes this fear worse.
Here’s the truth: Having PCOS doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant.
With the right treatment and lifestyle changes, many women successfully conceive and have healthy pregnancies.
At TelMD, we believe in empowering women with facts and accessible care, so let’s bust some of the most common myths about PCOS and fertility.
Myth 1: PCOS Means You’ll Never Get Pregnant
❌ Myth: PCOS automatically causes infertility.
✅ Fact: Many women with PCOS conceive naturally or with medical support.
PCOS affects ovulation, but with medications, hormone therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, it’s possible to regulate cycles and improve fertility outcomes.
Myth 2: Only Overweight Women Have PCOS
❌ Myth: If you’re slim, you can’t have PCOS.
✅ Fact: PCOS affects women of all body types.
Weight can influence symptoms, but even women at a healthy weight can experience irregular cycles, hormonal imbalances, and fertility challenges due to PCOS.
Myth 3: Birth Control Cures PCOS
❌ Myth: Taking birth control pills will “fix” PCOS.
✅ Fact: Birth control can help regulate periods, but does not treat the root cause.
True PCOS management requires comprehensive care, including lifestyle changes, ongoing monitoring, and sometimes fertility-focused treatments.
