How Does PCOS Affect Fertility & Pregnancy?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) can cause delays or absence of ovulation, making it harder to conceive without support.

Dr Rachael Knight, Clinical Director at Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne, explains that fertility treatments and particularly medication may be needed to assist ovulation.

It’s also important to monitor pregnancy closely, as PCOS can increase the risk of gestational diabetes.

If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS or are struggling to conceive, our team is here to support and guide you every step of the way. 💙

Painful periods are not normal 🩸

If your period pain regularly stops you from working, socialising or sleeping, it’s not “just part of being a woman.”

Severe menstrual pain could be a sign of endometriosis, fibroids or another condition, all of which can affect fertility in addition to the quality of your life.

Early diagnosis and proper treatment can make a real difference.

Call us on 📞 (02) 9057 9888 to understand and treat what is going on in your body.

Recognising the Symptoms of PCOS

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) can show up in different ways and many people don’t realise they have it until they start trying to conceive.

Some common symptoms include:
⚠️ Irregular or missed periods
💧 Weight changes or difficulty losing weight
⚡ Acne or excess facial/body hair
🌀 O***y cysts

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone and there is support available. At Life Fertility Melbourne, we take the time to understand your symptoms and create a personalised care plan that supports both your health and fertility goals.

Knowledge is power and the first step is understanding your body.

Get in touch today at (03) 9123 8200 or email admin@lifefertility.com.au to book a consultation.

Faith meets fertility at Life Melbourne 🕊️

Dr Rebecca Mackenzie Proctor shares how our clinic weaves cultural respect into medical excellence. Inclusive care is not a tagline for us; it is a practical framework built into our daily protocols.

What that looks like in real life:
• Jewish patients can request rabbinical oversight at key stages such as sample collection, lab witnessing and embryo transfer. Our team is trained in the halachic guidelines that protect lineage and sanctity.
• We are finalising similar step-by-step pathways for Muslim, Hindu, Catholic and Buddhist families, covering issues like modesty, consent, fasting periods and embryo handling.
• Staff receive regular education on sensitive language, cultural customs and religious holidays, so appointments feel welcoming rather than clinical.
• Flexibility is baked into our scheduling, allowing rituals or prayers to sit comfortably alongside medical timelines.

Our aim is simple: everyone deserves fertility treatment that aligns with their beliefs and feels genuinely safe. If you have specific spiritual or cultural needs, talk to us and we will build a plan that honours them.

You don’t need to “try for a year” to seek help ⏱️

That old rule, "try for 12 months before seeking help", doesn’t apply to everyone.

If you’re 35 or older and have been trying for six months, or if you have irregular cycles, known conditions, or any concerns. It is okay (and encouraged) to check in earlier.

You deserve answers and the peace of mind that comes with them.

Age matters but so does knowledge. 🧬⏳

This graph shows how IVF success rates decline with age, particularly after 35 and more steeply after 40. That’s because both egg quantity and quality naturally decrease over time.

But age is just one piece of the puzzle. Your overall health, medical history and even how your body responds to treatment all play a role. That’s why personalised care and early conversations are so important.

Whether you're planning ahead or already trying, understanding your fertility now can create more options for later.

At Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne, we’re dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming and patient centred experience in a calm and supportive environment.

Our clinic is equipped with comfortable waiting areas, private consult rooms, refreshments and ready access to supportive counselling.
