For women experiencing PCOS-related infertility, a Vitamin D deficiency significantly decreases chances of pregnancy.
Affecting 5 to 10 per cent of women of reproductive age, PCOS is a hormonal disorder which may make achieving pregnancy problematic.

This result held regardless of age, body mass index, race, metabolic functioning markers, or the nature of fertility treatment.
