Since 80% of the women with PCOS who visit my website also report some kind of mood disorder (mainly anxiety and/or depression, this research abstract caught my eye. For many of you it's challenging enought to get pregnant…once you're there, it's crucial to stay pregnant!
This study reported that in women who have taken a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (a popular category of antidepressant), there was a significant increase in miscarriage. The medications specifically mentioned in the abstract were citalopram/Celexa, fluoxetine/Prozac, fluvoxamine/Luvox, paroxetine/Paxil, sertraline/Zoloft.
If you're having trouble getting and staying pregnant, you may wish to discuss this possible influence with your caregiver.
Here is the reference for anyone who wants to share it.
