PCOS & Fertility: Solutions for Ovulation, Supplements, and Natural Conception

Hey, it's Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, the podcast where we provide holistic fertility advice for you and your partner—because fertility takes two!

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Roeland to discuss one of the leading causes of infertility: PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). If you’ve been diagnosed or suspect you have PCOS, this episode is for you! We dive deep into how PCOS affects ovulation, hormones, and fertility, and discuss practical steps you can take to improve your chances of conceiving naturally.

We also explore the misunderstood aspects of PCOS, the role of supplements like inositol and NAC, and why you might want to consider continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to understand your metabolic health. If you’re navigating PCOS, this episode is packed with actionable tips to support your journey.

Key topics covered:

PCOS and its impact on ovulation and fertility
Why many women with PCOS are undiagnosed and how it affects their fertility journey
The relationship between insulin resistance and androgen excess in PCOS
How to break the "vicious cycle" of hormonal imbalance in PCOS
Natural options for managing PCOS and boosting ovulation
The hidden gift of PCOS: understanding your extra follicles
Supplements for PCOS and fertility: inositol, omega-3s, NAC, vitamin D, and more
Using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to understand your body's needs
The importance of preconception health and lab testing for women with PCOS
