This is Infertility is a bi-weekly podcast where we fuse narrative storytelling with experience and science to give you a new perspective on what it’s really like to go through a family building journey. Each episode dives into the emotional, physical, and financial burdens carried by those who experience infertility on their path to parenthood. Be it IVF, IUI, egg freezing, surrogacy, adoption, etc., the path is never the same and it can be long, painful, and lonely. It’s our mission to give those struggling a platform to be heard, a community connection, and an opportunity to raise awareness of the 1 in 6 who, for many reasons, struggle with infertility.

Episode 114: Fertility 101: PCOS

The Fertility 101 Series, because there’s no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert.

In today’s episode, we discuss PCOS and the challenges that come with it. Dr. Todd Deutch from Advanced Reproductive Center educates us on the causes of PCOS, treatment options, and how PCOS impacts fertility and family building.

Guest: Dr. Todd Deutch, Advanced Reproductive Center 

Host: Dan Bulger

Here are some highlights from this episode: 

The two biggest misconceptions with PCOS
15:40 – 16:46 

Dr. Todd Deutch: One is that everyone who has irregular cycles has PCOS. Obviously, that’s not true. It’s the most common cause of irregular menstrual cycles but it doesn’t mean that it’s the cause because anybody can have irregular menstrual cycles. So, anyone who has irregular menstrual cycles, really needs a workup to understand why their cycles are irregular, and make sure that we’re treating the right underlying etiology. The other thing that I would say is that with PCOS, it comes in many different forms. There’s not one specific package that people fall into, from a phenotypic situation. There are women from all different body types that can fall into the PCOS category. So just because someone has a normal BMI or an elevated BMI, that doesn’t mean that they do or do not have PCOS; we have to look at these other factors. 

Normalizing the diagnosis
16:56 – 17:49 

Dr. Todd Deutch: People with PCOS are not alone. I think with any medical condition, it’s tempting to feel like you’re the only one experiencing those symptoms and sometimes people can get ashamed or upset by the fact that they’re dealing with these issues. But obviously, we all have different medical conditions, no one’s perfect. I think it’s important to keep in mind that not only does everyone have things that they’re dealing with, but that this is a fairly common disorder. So, there are really good ways to get help that are out there, whether it’s someone who’s trying to get pregnant or whether it’s someone who’s not getting pregnant. We also need to be aware of the psychological aspects, such as depression and anxiety that come along with this and that we have resources to treat that as well.
