AB  - Objective: To measure the fertility quality of life (QoL) in Saudis infertile women with Polycystic
Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) using the FertiQoL questionnaire, and establish a reference level of QoL
for clinical applications and future studies. Materials and methods: The FertiQoL tool, a self-report
questionnaire, was completed by 86 women with PCOS in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia who were enrolled
for a randomized clinical trial to study the effect of cinnamon for the treatment of PCOS. Results: A
total of 86 copies of eligible FertiQol questionnaires were collected at baseline. The mean total scaled
FertiQoL score was 59.1 (SD=12.7). An average Core FertiQoL was 66.12 ±11.72, and Treatment
FertiQoL was 63.40 ± 13.10. Conclusion: The results of this study provide a baseline QoL in infertile
women with PCOS, and could potentially be used as a guide for clinical counseling and future works.
