PCOS stands for to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome have problems with ovaries since they produce increased amount of androgens, which is simplified “not good”.
Even slightly higher levels of androgens can prevent ovaries to produce mature developed eggs. And then each month follicles try to grow in an egg, but they become trapped in their growth since they are exposed to abnormal amount of androgens. This happens every month and over longer period of time and follicles that do not develop build up in ovaries which later leads to PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

Stop smoking
Do a favor to yourself, your partner and your baby: I am not talking just about the lungs or the money you spent on cigarettes or the fact there you can’t hide the cigarette smell from your hair and skin. Cigarettes lower your possibility of getting pregnant by increasing the mucus around your cervix, and this is the main reason for decreased fertility.
Weight and trying to conceive
Yes, this is true: if you are super (model) skinny or if you are even slightly overweight (not to mention obese) your chances of healthy conception dramatically decrease. In fact, several studies suggest that there is a connection between being overweight/underweight and fertility and this connection is expressed in U curve: if your body mass index is normal (18-24), you shouldn’t have any problems with fertility (looking from the perspective of weight), while if your BMI is under 18 or above 25, your chances of healthy conception decrease dramatically.
