Can you still ovulate with pcos?

I have PCOS, and my doctor explained that it often causes irregular ovulation or no ovulation at all. But I've heard some people with PCOS do ovulate. Is it possible to still ovulate normally even with PCOS?

My wife has PCOS and we consulted a specialist at a top hospital in Hyderabad. They clearly explained that while ovulation is irregular or delayed, it absolutely still happens in many cycles. You should ask your doctor to track your follicular growth through scans to get a clear picture.

Haan beti, bilkul ho sakta hai. PCOS hone par bhi periods aate hain aur kabhi kabhi ande bhi bante hain, bas unka samay thoda aage peeche ho jata hai. Tum thoda gharelu achha khana khao aur doctor ki salah niyamit roop se lo.

Yes, you can still ovulate, but the process is often delayed or inconsistent due to high LH and androgen levels. This is why ovulation prediction kits can sometimes be tricky or show false positives with PCOS. I always suggest tracking basal body temperature or getting an ultrasound for accuracy.

Actually yes, yaar. Many people think PCOS means zero ovulation, but that is a big myth. My colleague got pregnant naturally even with severe PCOS because she was still ovulating occasionally. It is just unpredictable, so you have to track it carefully.

I used to panic thinking I would never be able to conceive because of my PCOS diagnosis. But after making some lifestyle changes, my periods regulated and my doctor confirmed I was ovulating. It might take longer, but it is definitely possible, so please don't lose heart!

I was diagnosed with mild PCOS last month and I am still trying to understand everything. If ovulation is still happening, does that mean my fertility is normal, or are the eggs released of lower quality? I would really appreciate it if anyone could share some light on this.
