Previous studies have provided indirect evidence for impaired decidual trophoblast invasion in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Defects in decidual trophoblast invasion in pregnant patients with PCOS have been suggested by studies showing that there is decreased secretion of markers of insulin resistance and that uterine artery Doppler indices are more commonly altered in pregnant PCOS patients than in control subjects. There are no specific and direct data in the literature evaluating decidual trophoblast invasion in women with PCOS.
