Infertility in polycystic ovary disease (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance in women that is thought to be one of the leading causes of female infertility.[1][2][3][4] Polycystic ovary syndrome causes more than 75% of cases of anovulatory infertility.[5] Not all women with PCOS have difficulty becoming pregnant.[citation needed] For those who do, anovulation is a common cause. The mechanism of this anovulation is uncertain, but there is evidence of arrested antral follicle development, which, in turn, may be caused by abnormal interaction of insulin and luteinizing hormone (LH) on granulosa cells.[5] Endocrine disruption may also directly decrease fertility, such as changed levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone,[6] gonadotropins (especially an increase in luteinizing hormone),[6][7] hyperandrogenemia,[8] and hyperinsulinemia.[8] Gonadotropins are released by gonadotroph cells in pituitary gland, and these cells appear to harbor insulin receptors, which are affected by elevated insulin levels.[6] A reason that insulin sensitizers work in increasing fertility is that they lower total insulin levels in body as metabolic tissues regain sensitivity to the hormone. This reduces the overstimulation of gonadotroph cells in pituitary.[6] PCOS usually causes infertility associated with anovulation, and therefore, the presence of ovulation indicates absence of infertility, though it does not rule out infertility by other causes.[citation needed] Ovulation may be predicted by the use of urine tests that detect the preovulatory LH surge, called ovulation predictor kits (OPKs).
