Welcome to our deep dive into Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common condition that affects millions of women worldwide. If you've been grappling with irregular menstrual cycles, unexpected weight gain, or sudden hair loss, you might be dealing with more than just everyday health woes. PCOS, a hormonal imbalance often marked by these symptoms, could be the culprit.

Some 70%-80% of women with PCOS experience infertility – an inability to conceive after at least 12 months of regular unprotected sex. It’s very common and extremely distressing but, thankfully, doesn’t mean that pregnancy is an impossibility (in fact, research has found that the majority of people with PCOS trying to conceive will fall pregnant and give birth without any fertility treatment at least once).

Let's say it like it is – PCOS can cause major distress whether it’s a recent diagnosis, or you’ve been living with – and trying your best to manage – symptoms for years. Make no mistake, it *can* get easier, but it’s by no means a linear journey, and everyone will need PCOS support of some kind from time to time.

In this blog, we’re diving deep into the connection between PCOS and mental health, unpacking the latest research in a way that actually makes sense for your day-to-day life.
