My partner and I had been TTC for over a year before a fertility specialist would see us. I have PCOS and endometriosis. Anyway I remember being completely heartbroken when on our first visit they said they wouldn't do anything to help us unless I lost weight (I was around 230).

They put me on metformin to help me loose the weight as I had already been eating healthy and exercising a bit.

Once I'd got down to 200lbs they gave me clomid but after 3 rounds of max dosage and 3 getting to max we still had had no luck.

We got to 2 and half years of trying and I was 3 stone lighter (185lbs) and they finally said they would put us on the weight list for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>.

A week later I was meant to be going on a rare night out so thought I would take a test just so I could drink guilt free. I looked down at what I was certain was going to be yet another negative test and it was finally my BFP!!!

I was in complete shock i had no idea what to do I had completely accepted it wasnt going to happem naturally for us and had resigned myself to the many needles to come.

Im now 22 weeks pregnant and have really packed on the weight (back up to 205) but I am so happy and my bump is finally making an appearance.
