PMOS Symptoms and Fertility Treatment

PMOS Can Influence Your Health in Different Ways.

PMOS can cause irregular periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, thinning hair, insulin resistance, and trouble conceiving. You may have several of these symptoms or only one. Some people do not realize they have the condition until they start trying to get pregnant.
Previously known as PCOS, PMOS more accurately reflects the condition’s hormonal, metabolic, and ovarian features. It also moves away from the misleading idea that ovarian cysts are always present or required for diagnosis. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine explains the reasoning behind the terminology and what it means for patients.

Pregnancy Is Still Possible With PMOS.

Many people with PMOS do not release an egg every month. That can make your periods unpredictable and leave you wondering when, or whether, you are ovulating. It can also make getting pregnant take longer.

That does not mean pregnancy is out of reach.

Brown Fertility can look at your cycles, hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and the other factors that matter when you are trying to conceive. If you were diagnosed with PCOS in the past, that diagnosis is still valid. You do not need to begin again just because the condition has a new name.

Your PMOS Treatment Should Fit the Reason You Are Here.

Maybe you want more predictable periods. Maybe acne or unwanted hair growth has become difficult to manage. Or maybe your main concern is getting pregnant.

If pregnancy is your priority, medication may help you begin ovulating more regularly. Metformin may be useful when insulin resistance is part of the problem. Some patients move forward with monitored ovulation medication and timed intercourse or IUI. Others may need injectable medication or IVF.

There is no standard plan that works for everyone with PMOS. We will look at what is happening in your body, listen to what you want, and talk through the options with you.
