What to eat for PCOS to get pregnant?

1 fertility expert(s) answered this question

What should I eat to get pregnant with PCOS?

​Diet is essential when planning for pregnancy. PCOS patients with insulin resistance need to keep in mind that their diet is key to avoid serious conditions like for instance cardiovascular problems. Right BMI also might ​help in getting back ovulation, hence, IVF procedure after all might not be needed.

This is a really good question and again like a PCOS diet there is no one fertility diet. There is some evidence that a mediterranean style diet is better for you for fertility and this would also go in line with PCOS as well because you are getting some healthy fats, low carbohydrates and getting some protein and all good types of fruits and vegetables. Whilst there is no one diet for fertility with PCOS, it is sensible to eat in a very healthy and balanced way. Make sure you are incorporating all the food groups and you are getting lots of green leafy vegetables.
