Don't give up!
Been with OH 10 years this year! TTC for almost 7 years went to gp sent for blood tests nothing to report. With very little help from Drs and years and yrs of upset and heartache we (as if by miracle) conceived our beautiful baby girl completely natural! Healthy pregnancy natural birth born weighing 7lb 9oz ❤️ happiest day of our lives! It wasn't until I was in labour that a midwife told me I had pcos (ovarian cysts) and that I was lucky to have conceived (as if I didn't know that already!) please ladies don't lose hope and even though it's easier said than done dont obsess about getting pregnant! Try as much as you can to have a positive but yet relaxed attitude about getting pregnant! We tried almost everything we could to improve our chances naturally and nothing worked pills, gels, sexual positions, laying upside down afterwards, ovulation tests, cycle tracking you name it we tried it at times it even put a strain on our relationship. It wasn't until we stopped obsessing and stopped testing every time we thought I was late. When I got a positive pregnancy test I was in disbelief even when we went to our first scan I just couldn't get my head around it id convinced myself I'd never carry my own baby. Now our daughter is 2 I still can't believe how blessed we are i have to pinch myself. I never had symptoms of pcos only since I've had my daughter i have started to get symptoms periods were always regular (even though I wasnt ovulating every cycle) now periods are starting to differ I had a 4 month gap between my last period. I am reluctant to seek medical advice as they wasn't much help before we would love to extend our family but we are taking each day as it comes for now we will have to see what the future holds. I hope this help someone! I've never shared my story before and haven't met anyone in a similar situation. Sending all the hopes and wishes for everyone TTC in 2019 and beyond! X
