Hi Monica,

PCOS means that your body is responding to high insulin and your monthly ovulation is producing an egg which is not able to escape the ovary. It grows right there on the surface instead of being flushed down the fallopian tube toward the uterus.

It continues to grow and becomes a cyst (on the ovary) which can eventually burst. An ultrasound can show these fluid filled cysts. Not all those with PCOS develop cysts or some of the other symptoms.

Once you can reduce your insulin response through diet and glucophage your chances of eggs going where they should will be much better.
