August 3, 2008 | By Share In Trying To Conceive |

Infertility is a very real problem today. CDC estimates indicate that as many as six million women of child bearing age are having trouble conceiving a child. In married couples this amounts to about two million of all couples. Nine million women have used infertility services at some point in their lives. One condition that causes some of these cases of infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS. Between six and ten percent of all women have PCOS to some extent. While many women are able to conceive and bear children naturally in spite of this condition, it can make getting pregnant difficult for some.
