In this episode we dive head first into PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and how it relates to infertility. We chat through the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria and treatment options. I also tie in my history of PCOS and how it's been a challenge in our fertility journey. But, we're still hopeful and so grateful for this episode for the chance to learn more! Hope you enjoy this style episode - if you do, let me know in the reviews! *Disclaimer: this episode is an educational review and personal experience; no medical advice.
