Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham has been reported suffering from a significant source of female infertility called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) while attempting to become pregnant again.


The magazine claims that the English pop singer and her soccer superstar husband have been trying for a fourth child for the last three months. The magazine reports that they are now consulting specialists in both Los Angeles and London.

During a routine checkup at London's exclusive Portman Hospital two weeks ago, the 34-year-old Spice Girl was warned that her fertility rate was lower than at the time of her first baby.


A Now magazine source said, "Victoria is suffering from PCOS and irregular periods, both of which can affect her chances of having a baby. She's trying not to get too nervous as she knows this won't help, but it's becoming more and more of a concern."

In February, Victoria admitted: "I feel that pressure. Every time I go out, someone says to me: 'Are you pregnant?"


According to the magazine Now, the problematic situation of the Beckhams (with Ava, their daughter that they welcomed recently) is made even more complicated by the possible retirement next year when he turns 60 of Dr Malcolm Gillard, who delivered all Victoria's babies.

Emma Thompson

The legendary actress Emma Thompson has proven that you can achieve great things while living with PCOS and clinical depression. After struggling with infertility, Emma underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help her conceive her daughter Gaia. Several additional rounds of IVF later, Emma and her husband ended up adopting a few years later. "For years, I counted people's children in the street and thought I'd never recover," she said in a magazine interview. "But you do, of course."

Lea Michele

The Glee star recently opened up about being diagnosed with PCOS, a hormone disorder that causes acne and weight gain. "The side effects can be brutal — like weight gain and bad skin," Lea shared with Health. "I went to a great doctor, and the minute she looked at me, she was like, 'Oh, you have PCOS.' It explained everything."

She went on to say, "Through diet, I have been able to manage [my symptoms]. But I am very fortunate. There are way more extreme versions of PCOS that women have a lot of difficulty with — mine is not as intense. Which is why I haven't talked about it, because there are women who have it so much more intense."

Jillian Michaels

The fitness queen has never been shy about talking about her Health. She keeps her PCOS in check by exercising and dieting. When asked about her fertility struggles, Jillian opened up to Redbook about the realities of living with PCOS.


"Turns out I had PCOS. But at a young age, I didn't know if I wanted kids, so I didn't care. Then I got older, and I watched friends go through IVF, with years of hormones and devastation and disappointment, and I remember thinking, God wants something different for me," recalled Jillian. "If I choose to pursue this path, I'll adopt. And when I was finally ready to go for it, I thought, this will be so easy. I am such an a-hole. I had no idea."

Daisy Ridley

Star Wars actress: The Last Jedi is a warrior offscreen. In the world of highly filtered social media posts, Daisy Ridley took to Instagram to get honest about her severe acne due to polycystic ovary syndrome.


"My skin was the worst. I've tried everything: products, antibiotics, more products, more antibiotics and all that did was left my body in a bit of a mess. Finally found out I have polycystic ovaries, and that's why it's bad. I can safely say that feeling so self-conscious has left my confidence in tatters. I hate wearing makeup, but I currently don't want to leave the house without it on," shared Daisy. "HOWEVER, PROGRESS IS BEING MADE!"

Simone Ormesher

Ormesher, a contestant on The Bachelor, just revealed that she has Polycystic ovary syndrome. On her Instagram, she wrote:

To cope with my symptoms, I make sure I maintain a well-balanced life, exercise regularly, eat lots of good wholesome foods, and surround myself with supportive people.

Harnaam Kaur

Model, activist, and Guinness Book Record holder Harnaam Kaur rocks a full beard due to polycystic ovarian syndrome. She has promised to let her hair grow out following religious beliefs and is praised as a body-positive heroine. "I had no idea what PCOS was. My doctor said, 'This is what you have,' and that was all I knew," said Harnaam. "At first, I thought I was dying of a sporadic disease because nobody in the media spoke about it! Growing up, I found out that Victoria Beckham has the same condition as me, but there I was feeling like I was suffering from something super rare."


She went on, "My message to other women suffering from the same condition would be doing not suffer in silence. Always speak up about it and talk to a doctor about how to treat your symptoms. The thing with PCOS is that it also affects women emotionally, and again, it's important to talk about your feelings. If you are body-shamed, then do not take it. It would help if you found self-love. You need to change your thought process, and you will flourish both internally and externally."

Jaime King

Jaime King is an actress and entrepreneur who has also been candid about her ongoing struggles with infertility. "The way that it started was I was diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS when I was 20. And I went undiagnosed for a long time," revealed Jamie. "I lost my first baby at that age. And I continued to miscarry and miscarry, and it took many years for me to have my first child, and when I was going through this, I cannot explain what it felt like — that this one thing that we're told as women is that our gift is that we can carry life, and all of a sudden someone says, 'Oh, maybe that might be in question.'"

Sasha Pieterse

The Pretty Little Liars Show star is getting honest about her struggles with PCOS diagnosis and the fears that come along with it. With infertility being a primary symptom of PCOS, she and her husband, Hudson Scheaffer, worried it would be difficult to conceive. Much to their surprise, however, they soon discovered what they were expecting.


Sasha told People Magazine, "Just the fact that we were able to get pregnant was such a blessing because with PCOS, that made me nervous." She continued, "Many women have infertility issues, and so we were expecting more difficulty, so it's been an absolute blessing that we were able to just get pregnant by ourselves."
