You never know what someones story is...

I'm 23

I was told I'd never have kids.

I want 6

Everyday I cry because of the infertility problems I have.

When I was in high school I started the depo shot 9th grade to 2017 (graduated in 2013) I got off of the shot to prepare to try and have a baby with my boyfriend of 7 years. I didn't get my period afterwards for months, when I went to the Dr they told me it was normal and not to worry until after a year of waiting for AF. SO, with that knowledge I waited. A year and 3 weeks went by and I finally started to have my period! I thought to myself thank god!

The next thing I know I'm bleeding for months. I thought maybe this is just what happens from missing it for so long. I went back to the Dr and it took them 3 months of appointments, blood draws, ultrasounds, and other tests to finally tell me that I had aggressive PCOS type (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and my body was creating extra lining for me to shed, and was still actively happening. They told me I had some tissue growing outside of where it should be and I'd probably need surgery to fix it, they also said I most likely wouldn't be able to have babies, and if I did get pregnant it would most likely end up in miscarriage.

I was destroyed, feeling like I would never be able to do what a woman is put here to do (But I always get told the view from other peoples eyes "I don't have to have kids.." Like I WANT KIDS, DON'T TELL ME THAT)

anyways, then they said I needed to come in regularly to get checked because my risk or cancer is higher and they want to monitor it. I asked if there was anything I could do to fix or help any of the things that were happening to me. I was told lose weight and maybe it can help.

I'm 5ft 2 and at 230lbs

So yes, I'm overweight.

They put me on the pill to stop my excessive bleeding, after about 4 months taking the pill I found a supplement online that says it has been found to help with symptoms of PCOS and actually regulate the period and hormones. I called my Dr and told her I was going to try it. She said I don't think it will help, but you can see. I thought that was rude and insensitive to my situation, but I did it anyway. 2 more months of being on the pill while taking the supplement (called pcositol, which is a blend of myo inositol, d chiro inositol and folic acid used to support fertility and hormones, among other things) I decided to test the waters and stop the pill.

My period stopped on its own for the first time in over a year. I haven't been taking my BC for over a month now (just the supplement) and I have less acne, no more facial hair, my hair stopped falling out, I'm losing weight now at 189, and I feel overall better)

I guess I'm saying never lose hope! And don't always trust the Dr when they tell you certain things. I just went in for another check up, I told then I stopped taking the BC and at first they were concerned but after some blood work they told me my hormone levels were evening out, and I don't have any regular tissue growth on the inside anymore, they are unable to figure out what happened or where it went and are calling it a miracle.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I know it's long, please no negative comments as I am finally out of my depression and long seeded stress from all of this!
