Irregular or absent ovulation
Ovaries aren't releasing eggs as frequently as normal. Irregular periods are often a sign of this.
A PMOS diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to conceive. Béa is an at-home fertility treatment with expert guidance designed to support you through irregular cycles, ovulation challenges, and everything in between.
PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), formerly known as PCOS, is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting fertility, impacting up to 1 in 8 women. Despite how common it is, many people feel under-informed and unsupported after a diagnosis.
PMOS disrupts how your ovaries work and affects your hormone balance. It can cause irregular or absent periods, elevated levels of androgens (like testosterone), and small follicles on the ovaries that never fully develop. But the experience varies widely. Some people have mild symptoms, while others find it significantly impacts their cycle and ability to conceive.
One of the key ways PMOS affects fertility is through irregular ovulation. In a typical cycle, a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation. With PMOS, elevated LH levels often caused by insulin resistance — can disrupt this process, making ovulation unpredictable or infrequent.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Our fertility nurses specialize in complex diagnoses and are here to help you think through your options.
Yes. Many people with PMOS conceive, though it may take longer or require support depending on whether ovulation is occurring. If you are ovulating — even irregularly — pregnancy is possible. Working with a clinician to understand your cycle and identify your fertile window is usually the first step.
PMOS is a common hormonal condition affecting approximately 1 in 8 women .¹ It can disrupt ovulation, which can make cycles irregular or unpredictable — or stop ovulation altogether. Insulin resistance and hormone imbalances are often behind this, and carrying excess weight and stress can also affect ovulation patterns.
Options range from at-home approaches to clinical support. Nutrition and exercise can meaningfully improve ovulation for many people with PMOS. If you're ovulating, Béa can help by delivering more sperm to the cervix at the right time. If ovulation is irregular or absent, letrozole or clomiphene can help stimulate it, while metformin may help by lowering insulin resistance. IUI and IVF are further options if needed. A doctor can help build the right plan for you.
Yes — if you are ovulating. Béa is not a treatment for PMOS itself, but if you know you are ovulating — whether regularly or confirmed by ovulation testing — Béa can improve the mechanics of conception by delivering more sperm to the cervix at the right time. Béa is not suitable if you have absent ovulation. In that case, a medical approach to restore ovulation (such as letrozole or clomiphene) should come first.
Béa is an FDA-cleared applicator that places a soft silicone cervical cap at the cervix and holds semen in place for up to 5 hours. This increases exposure to cervical mucus and delivers 3.23x more sperm to the cervix compared to intercourse alone.² No clinic visits, injections, or hormones are required.
Yes. The Béa Treatment is compatible with metformin and medications used to stimulate ovulation. It is not compatible with hormonal contraception (such as the pill), which cannot be used when trying to conceive.
Béa exists to make the fertility journey feel more supported, more informed, and more human — whatever your diagnosis.
