This article caught my eye, as we all know that women with PCOS have a higher chance of miscarriage once they get pregnant.
May 21/2013 Publish Date:
High levels of Homocysteine and/or Insulin Resistance may play a part in PCOS related first trimester miscarriages.
Summary: High homocysteine can be a significant contributor in the role of first trimester miscarriage in PCOS patients. Other not yet published studies report the role of folic acid, Vit B6, and B12 supplementation to improve pregnancy outcomes in women showing this warning sign. The role of identification and active treatment of women with this abnormality could improve outcomes.
Why We Should Care: This could have new therapy potential for miscarriage prevention.
