Focus on: PCOS Awareness Month
It is estimated that as many as 1 in 10 women in the UK suffer from PCOS, making it one of the most common causes of infertility. According to our consultant Dr Arpita Ray, Regional Lead Consultant, women with PCOS may find it more challenging to conceive, due to an imbalance of sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which may lead to irregular or absent periods. Other symptoms of this increasingly common condition may include ovarian cysts, acne, excess hair and obesity, but also none of these.
September is PCOS Awareness Month, with PCOS charities and organisations, such as Verity in the UK and PCOS Awareness Association in the US, aiming to raise awareness and increase understanding of the condition. If you would like advice on how PCOS may impact fertility do get in touch.

When Abi and husband Scott found they were pregnant naturally, they were ecstatic.
“I felt as though everything had fallen in to place,” recalls Abi. “We both really wanted children and as far as we were concerned that was that. We would be having a baby in a few months time.”
Sadly just a few weeks later Abi miscarried. It was to be the first of eight miscarriages.
Abi found miscarriage was a secret grief for many people and she has recently become a follower & friend of Cradle: Beds & Herts. There is a special service to support anyone affected by baby/child loss & to remember all little stars on Sunday 13th October at 6.30pm St Mary's Church, Potton, SG19 2RP Candles can be lit & messages can be written on stars to hang on a memory tree during the service.
