TTC and PCOS

Lowri

Miscarriage and TTC problems trigger warning.

I’m looking for some advice really. Me and my fiancé have been TTC for the last 6 years, we had a miracle pregnancy in 2019 but sadly I had a silent miscarriage at 13 weeks, and then at the beginning of lockdown I had a chemical pregnancy, 2/3 weeks.

I’ve got PCOS, I’ve had ovarian drilling, lost weight, taken metformin, every treatment for PCOS there is I’ve had it, the problem is definitely me, we’ve seen a fertility specialist and had all the tests and he’s 100% healthy and all works so the problems are all me.

I’m just wondering if there is any non doctor advice anyone can give me? I’ve had all the doctor advice and the answers are always the same, lose weight ( I’ve lost 8 stone) and just keep trying! I’ve reached the point where I’m considering moving towards more holistic treatments. I’m 27 so every time we speak to doctors we get the old getting older speech! I had one doctor tell me if I hadn’t gotten Pregnant by 25 my chances were slim to none.

Neither of us want to just give up although we have discussed how we’d feel if we aren’t able to have children and we know we’ll have a brilliant life together no matter what happens, but I want to try everything I possibly can.

We want to try and avoid <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, I have a few other medical conditions that wouldn’t cope too well with the stress of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, again doctor advice, my first pregnancy was very very hard on me physically, I was extremely ill with it so I know it isn’t going to be easy at all but it will be worth it in the end.

So please any advice anyone has I’d really appreciate.

Thanks 😊
