More evidence that women with PCOS may have higher ovarian reserve, which can translate to prolonged ovarian function and potentially later menopause.

This tracks with many of my PCOS patients who don't achieve fully regular ovulatory cycles until their mid to late 30s.

Through an evolutionary lens, a genetic tendency to PCOS (higher androgens, more follicles, longer cycles) could be (at least in part) a survivor adaptation for later reproduction in a harsh environment.

Essentially, a somewhat delayed reproductive timeline. (Of course, there are lots of other factors in PCOS, and improvement is possible at any age!)
