How are we feeling about the recent change in name of diagnosis from PCOS to PMOS? Will fertility treatments be approached differently?

Good morning! Not sure if anyone has heard yet of the recent name change from polycystic ovary syndrome to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, but it sounds like it will be making waves in the medical field. It sounds like it is getting approached more as an endocrine function issue than a gynecological one. Do you think that “unexplained infertility” diagnoses will shift towards PMOS? Do you think treatment/medication approaches will change?

Just looking to see where everyone’s heads are at with this. Thanks!

Hi there! I hope everyone is having a nice day. Looking for some feedback. I’m currently on my second medicated cycle (Letrozole 5 mg), as I have anovulatory PCOS. My first medicated cycle I had 2 false starts, but was able to catch my real peak and the LH fall on the 3rd LH rise, ovulation confirmed with robust progesterone reading in bloodwork, but ultimately AF came. This cycle I haven’t seen any false starts, but I have plateaued in consistently positive OPKs since evening of CD 15. I’m getting a blood test for progesterone reading on CD 22, but in the meantime, has anyone else experienced a plateau of positive OPKs after a peak of confirmed ovulation? Success stories after something like this? Any other feedback or similar experiences?

Thanks a bunch, appreciate any and all responses.
