PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is the most common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age in India — and one of the leading causes of infertility. At Akanksha IVF Centre, Janakpuri, New Delhi, Dr. K.D. Nayar has treated thousands of women with PCOS over 40+ years, helping them conceive safely through medically optimised, PCOS-specific IVF protocols.
If you have been diagnosed with PCOS or PCOD and are struggling to get pregnant, you are not alone — and there is an effective, safe path forward.

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance where the ovaries produce excess androgens (male hormones), leading to irregular or absent ovulation, multiple small follicle cysts on the ovaries, and difficulty conceiving. Women with PCOS may also have irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and excess facial hair.
Because ovulation is unpredictable or absent in PCOS, the egg and sperm cannot meet naturally — making pregnancy difficult without medical intervention.
Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can significantly improve ovulation in overweight PCOS patients. Our team guides you on nutrition and exercise as a foundation before starting medical treatment.
Oral medications (letrozole or clomiphene) are used to stimulate ovulation. This is often the first medical step and is combined with timed intercourse or IUI.
If ovulation induction alone is not successful, IUI combined with mild hormonal stimulation improves pregnancy chances significantly.
For women who do not respond to simpler treatments, IVF is highly effective for PCOS. However, PCOS patients are at higher risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) — a potentially serious complication. At Akanksha IVF Centre, Dr. Nayar uses a specially designed low-dose, PCOS-safe stimulation protocol to maximise eggs while minimising OHSS risk.
In PCOS patients at risk of OHSS, we often recommend freezing all embryos after retrieval and doing a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) in a subsequent cycle. This eliminates OHSS risk completely and often gives better implantation results.
Yes, some women with PCOS can conceive naturally, especially with lifestyle changes. However, if you have been trying for more than 6–12 months without success, a fertility evaluation is recommended.
Yes, when done by an experienced specialist with PCOS-adapted protocols. The main risk is OHSS, which we actively prevent using low-dose stimulation and freeze-all strategies at Akanksha IVF Centre.
Most PCOS patients do best with an antagonist protocol (GnRH antagonist) combined with a low starting dose of gonadotropins, careful daily monitoring, and an HCG trigger replacement (agonist trigger) to reduce OHSS. Dr. Nayar will tailor the protocol specifically for you.
PCOS typically produces a large number of eggs, but egg quality can be variable. Our Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging helps identify and select the best quality embryos for transfer, improving success rates.
A complete PCOS IVF cycle (including stimulation, retrieval, freeze-all, and FET) may take 6–10 weeks across two separate cycles.
