Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is quite common among women of reproductive age and can cause infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Current studies on PCOS mainly focus on the effect of PCOS on pregnancy. So far, it remains unelucidated whether a history of infertility or early pregnancy loss (EPL) has differential effects on obstetric outcomes for PCOS women.
