Can Insulin help with fertility?

Insulin is a hormone primarily regulating blood glucose. In fertility contexts, insulin resistance is a key factor, especially in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Improving insulin sensitivity through lifestyle or drugs like metformin can enhance ovulation and fertility. However, administering insulin itself is not a standard fertility treatment and carries risks such as hypoglycemia. Evidence is moderate: observational studies link insulin resistance to anovulation, but direct insulin therapy lacks robust fertility trials. Always consult a specialist before considering any hormonal intervention. Self-administration of insulin for fertility is dangerous and not evidence-based.
