Every month, a woman’s ovary produces one egg for fertilization. The ovary has tiny fluid-filled sacs called follicles or cysts. As the egg grows, the follicle builds up fluid. When the egg matures, the follicle breaks open and the egg is released. It then travels through the Fallopian Tube to the uterus (womb) for fertilization. This process is called ovulation.

Are you fat because you have pcos?

Because of the increased levels of testosterone in the body of a woman with PCOS weight gain is one of the side effects. However, that weight gain is normally fairly low. If you are obese then it will not be because of the PCOS - it will be because of lifestyle. Also, if you are overweight then it will further reduce your abilities to have children as well as the PCOS.
