Our bodies don't always produce enough progesterone or other hormones to

support the attachment and proper formation of the embryo (my understanding,

anyway).

I got this off of www.inciid.org :

There does appear to be a higher miscarriage rate in women with PCOS,

but the exact reason is still under investigation. According to some

studies, the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS is 45 percent or

more. One possibility is that early loss is associated with elevated

levels of luteinizing hormone - and women with PCOS often have elevated

LH levels - but the reason why it relates to miscarriage is not

understood. Another possibility is that elevated levels of insulin or

glucose may impede implantation or cause problems with the embryonic

development. There is a clear association between uncontrolled blood

sugar and pregnancy loss, but the issue of insulin resistance and

elevated insulin levels is relatively new and in need of further study.

There is a possibility that insulin resistance reduces egg quality. That

leads to another possibility - that late ovulation (after cycle day 16)

may be associated with poor follicle development and decreased egg

quality.
