There were a few useful online resources I found while looking into PCOS and its relationship to infertility.
1. Sher Fertility Clinics Summary of what PCOS is.
I found three things especially useful on this page:
The description of the various sub-types of PCOS,
The typical (differing!) reactions to various fertility treatment protocols; and
The relationship of PCOS to egg quality.
2. PCOS: Will I pass it on to my daughter?
In short, most probably. Both males and females can pass down the genes for PCOS, but environmental factors will determine if they "activate" or not. The same genes responsible for male pattern baldness and high cholesterol in males can also be responsible for PCOS. Extrapolate... pick a male sperm donor without baldness or cholestorol problems in his family, and you're less likely to pass on PCOS to your daughter.
3. Don't be Sad, Look at these Baby Ducks
For when all the jargon and possibilities stress you out beyond measure
