It's a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with cysts along the outer side of the ovaries. It causes higher levels of male hormones called androgens. I recommend seeing a gynecologist as they are typically more versed in pcos than other doctors.

I've had lots of friends that have had children and have PCOS. It sometimes takes more time and the help of an OBGYN. I've also read before that it's suspected that people with PCOS also tend to be able to get pregnant easier during the latter part of the childbirth years and even into their 40s.

I found that an Endocrinologist was much more helpful than my OBGYN with explaining and treating my PCOS.
