What is Management of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome During Pregnancy about?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, independent of high-risk, PCOS-related conditions. The preconception period is the best opportunity to discuss pregnancy-related complications, preventative screening, and safe treatments during pregnancy and to implement nutritional and lifestyle behaviors to improve oocyte quality and potentially pregnancy outcomes. Metformin treatment is not recommended for women with PCOS during pregnancy because it has not been demonstrated to improve perinatal outcomes. It is often recommended for PCOS outside of pregnancy due to its favorable metabolic outcomes in women with PCOS. Therefore, because metformin is not associated with an increased risk for teratogenicity or breastfeeding, it may be continued through the first trimester and immediately resumed postpartum.
