For many women, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) feels like a constant battle. From irregular periods to weight gain and unwanted hair growth, PCOS brings physical, hormonal, and emotional challenges. But one of the toughest struggles women face with PCOS is infertility.
The good news? IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) has transformed the way women with PCOS can achieve pregnancy. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, we specialize in advanced fertility care and provide new hope to women facing hormonal imbalances. With 14+ years of expertise and 5000+ successful procedures, Dr. Neha Goyal and her team ensure that PCOS does not stand in the way of parenthood.
This blog explores the real connection between PCOS and IVF success, how hormonal imbalance affects fertility, and what women can do to maximize their chances of a healthy pregnancy
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones). This imbalance affects ovulation, making it difficult for women to conceive naturally.
Common symptoms of PCOS include:
PCOS affects 1 in 10 women worldwide and is one of the most common causes of infertility. But thanks to medical advancements, IVF has become a reliable treatment for women struggling with PCOS.
Women with PCOS often produce more follicles in the ovaries, but many of them do not mature properly. This means ovulation does not happen regularly, making natural conception difficult. IVF overcomes this by using controlled ovarian stimulation with fertility medicines. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, eggs are carefully monitored with ultrasound and hormone testing. Mature eggs are retrieved at the right time, ensuring the best possible quality for fertilization. This gives women with PCOS a much higher chance of pregnancy than relying on natural cycles.
PCOS disrupts the body’s natural hormonal balance, particularly with excess androgens (male hormones) and insulin resistance. This leads to irregular ovulation or even absence of ovulation (anovulation). IVF bypasses this challenge by fertilizing eggs in the laboratory and then transferring the healthiest embryo into the uterus. With expert monitoring at Neev Women Hospital, women with PCOS don’t have to wait for irregular cycles—IVF provides a more predictable and reliable path to conception.
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of miscarriage, often linked to poor egg quality, hormonal imbalance, or underlying genetic issues. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, we use Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to identify healthy embryos before transfer. This reduces the chances of early pregnancy loss and gives couples greater confidence in achieving a full-term pregnancy. By combining IVF with genetic testing, PCOS patients have a much stronger chance of carrying a healthy baby.
Contrary to what many believe, PCOS does not mean poor IVF success. In fact, with the right treatment plan, women with PCOS often respond well to IVF because their ovaries can produce multiple eggs. With techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) for fertilization and AI-powered embryo selection, IVF success rates in PCOS patients can be equal to or even higher than women without PCOS. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, our team ensures careful stimulation, safe retrieval, and advanced embryo monitoring to maximize success.
Medical treatment alone is not enough—lifestyle plays a huge role in fertility. PCOS is often linked with insulin resistance, obesity, and stress, which can negatively impact IVF outcomes. At Neev Women Hospital, we guide women with PCOS on practical lifestyle changes:
Stress management: Yoga, meditation, and counseling help reduce stress hormones that interfere with fertility.
By combining IVF with lifestyle modifications, we greatly improve the success rate for PCOS patients.
Weight management: Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can improve ovulation and egg quality.
Balanced diet: Foods rich in antioxidants, lean proteins, and low glycemic index carbs support fertility.
Women with PCOS are more sensitive to fertility medicines, which can sometimes lead to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and, in rare cases, fluid build-up. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, Dr. Neha Goyal and her team use individualized low-dose stimulation protocols and advanced monitoring to minimize this risk. With careful management, IVF remains a safe and effective treatment for women with PCOS.
Many women think IVF is only for “last chance” cases. But in reality, for women with PCOS, IVF is often the best and most effective treatment to achieve pregnancy. It directly addresses the core problem—irregular ovulation and poor egg maturation. At Neev Women Hospital, we encourage women not to delay IVF out of fear. With today’s advanced technologies, IVF provides a strong, hopeful, and proven solution for couples struggling with PCOS-related infertility.
PCOS causes a chain reaction in the body:
At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, we focus on correcting these imbalances through medications, lifestyle support, and advanced IVF techniques so that women can achieve safe pregnancies.
At Neev Women Hospital, our goal is not just pregnancy but a healthy mother and a healthy baby.
Yes, many women with PCOS can get pregnant naturally, especially with lifestyle changes such as weight management, balanced diet, and exercise. However, irregular ovulation often makes conception unpredictable. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, we encourage natural methods first but also provide treatments like ovulation induction, IUI, and IVF for women who need medical help.
PCOS does not necessarily lower IVF success rates—in fact, with proper protocols, women with PCOS can achieve similar or even higher success rates compared to women without PCOS. The key is expert care. At Neev Women Hospital, our team carefully adjusts ovarian stimulation medicines to reduce risks and optimize egg quality, improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, IVF success rates for PCOS patients are above 50–60% in women under 35, which is higher than the average. Success depends on factors like age, egg quality, sperm quality, and uterine health. Advanced techniques such as genetic testing (PGT), AI embryo selection, and ICSI further increase chances of success for PCOS patients.

At Neev Women Hospital, we provide diet plans, lifestyle counseling, and fertility-focused care that help women with PCOS prepare their bodies for IVF success.
