PCOS is not a constant thing... one ovary may have a bunch of cysts one
month, and not so many the next. Another month, both ovaries may have a
few
cysts or a lot. There's no way to predict it. In general, though, every
woman's chances of conceiving decrease with age (particularly after 30,
then
drastically in the mid- to late-30s). PCOS can definitely have a negative
effect on your fertility, especially since it is usually accompanied by
irregular ovulation (fewer chances to conceive) and often by insulin
resistance, which can definitely affect things. Part of it depends on how
severe your PCOS is, which is a question for your gyn or a reproductive
endocrinologist (RE), the doc who is a specialist in such things.
There are natural ways to resolve or at least improve the symptoms of
PCOS.
One friend I know said her issues resolved when she became vegan and lost
weight. I, personally, regulated my cycles with a combo of acupuncture
and
Chinese herbs (prescribed and formulated by my acupuncturist). I still
have
PCOS, but it definitely helped me have more regular ovulatory cycles.
There
are other options, so you'll have to do some research and talk to a doc to
figure out what's best for your particular situation.
It's definitely good that you're asking yourself these questions now,
rather
than waiting until you're ready to conceive to find out that you might
have
some difficulties.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
