You know you can’t get pregnant on your own, but still you hesitate about moving forward with in vitro fertilization (IVF). You worry, especially, about the process of transferring an embryo to your womb. Will it be painful?
PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, is a condition that often consists of menstrual irregularities (typically absent or sporadic menses), signs of increased androgens (hair growth, acne or hair loss) and the presence of multiple ‘cysts’ on an ovary.
Most cases of female infertility are due to your ovaries not producing or not releasing eggs on a regular basis. Your cycle could be out of sync because you have a hormonal condition, such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), but you are not alone.
You’re young and you either need extra money or you wish to help people who can’t get pregnant by themselves. Either reason for donating eggs is perfectly acceptable. However, not every woman can donate her eggs. How do you find out if you can?
