Tips for women trying to conceive with PCOS

Dr. Beth Taylor

If you are overweight and have PCOS and are trying to conceive we have two considerations for you:

 

  1. Join our Fit for Fertility Study which is a six month diet, exercise and lifestyle program guided by a kinesiologist, nutritionist and nurse. There is no cost. If you are interested please reach out to fff@olivefertility.com
  2. Consider taking daily injections of a medication called Saxenda.  A recent study suggests it can help PCOS women lose about 5-6% of their body weight and kept it off while on therapy.  Discuss this with your doctor if you are interested.

Inclusion of all gender and sexually diverse people is an important value of Olive Fertility Centre. We are continuously striving to create an environment of compassionate belonging where all of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are supported, valued and respected.
