13 years TTC

Er
Today I decided to share with others my journey with PCOS and TTC for 13 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 20. Gained 100 lbs in one year and hated myself, how I looked my physical appearance, it all changed, with dark patches all over, the hair growth was just amazing to me how I was shaving my face like a man everyday and how physically tired and drained I was. The depression and anxiety that comes over you was overwhelming to comprehend what was happening. 
I tried to fight back. Took metformin and told this was like the cure. Exercised, still trying to get pregnant and nothing. 8 years later after a surgery on an ovary, that was partially removed, due to large dermoid tumor, I was straight up told I would get pregnant, but maybe just every other month cause the surgeon didn't know if my ovary worked or not..... 1 year later I did. I got pregnant and miscarried at 5 weeks after hearing a heartbeat.....Absolute worst experience I could imagine. Had seaweed placed in my vaginal canal for a couple of days to dialate and when that didn't work I had a d&c. WOW!! 
I was told several times that because of my PCOS I had to see a specialist a REI doctor (Reproductive, Endocrinologist, I forgot the I) and there was only one in a 100 mile radius, anyway, I felt I had all these obsticals in my way.  I felt no one truly understood. I would read the forums on different websites and never found a post quite like mine but I still never would give up the hope of becoming a mother.  I was told about a tea and bought it off of amazon and drank that everyday...I was told by my father to pray this prayer everyday "God make my womb fruitful"  I did this and everyday before bed I would ask God this prayer and one day 5 years later totaling 13 years, I slept all day and then woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee so bad almost thought oh great I have a freaking UTI, but the relief was wonderful and not painful. Woke up the next morning drove real fast to the pharmacy and bought the jankiest test and raced back home took it.....boy those pink lines don't realize how powerful they are!!!!! 
I delivered the most beautiful baby girl at the age of 35.  She's perfect in every way!  She is 17 months old and just an amazing little person!  I am so grateful of all the little things.  
Don't give up ever!!! 13 years 😊
