Does PCOS make you infertile?

Does PCOS make you infertile?  How is this treated - is the ovary/ovaries generally removed?

I just wanted to share my story... I have pcos and in 1997 I stopped having a period.  I was also very overweight,... started with a size 18 and went up by 2000 I was a size 26... Well I was trying to become pg but without a period of course I couldn't.  So I went on clomid... iui... no luck finally with injectables I got pg during the third round...  Well,  I had her in 2002.  By 2004 I decided I needed to do something about my weight... I was a size 28. I didn't feel like I ate a WHOLE lot more than others but what I did was cut out the carbs almost completely in the beginning and rode my bike outside...  I lost 45lbs in 3 months... and by 9 months was down 90lbs...  I finally a little over 100lbs and went to a size 12 during this period I got a divorce and was single...  my period came back I recently got married and got pg 22 days after the wedding using nothing to help!  I really think the key to PCOS and not only having a baby but loosing weight is carbs...  I think we just can't eat as many.  I now eat some carbs but I keep them down to like under 80 a day...  good luck ladies just wanted to share my story

Absolutely not! I have 3 kids and many women get pregnant. Removing the ovaries are not recommended. Its a treatable disease. Go to soulcysters.com for information and support.
Best of luck!
