My BFP story... hope it might help first timers...!!!

Hi ladies..

I started TTC exactly one year back. I joined Glow also just then. I was tested with PCOS six months before I started trying. So that itself was a stressful start. Fortunately my periods were regular and it hadn't gone out of control then.

So when we started TTC, during the first few months I used to go crazy during the TWW and buy a bunch of tests and keep testing early with disappointing results. I used to think everything as a symptom and get so anxious. Maybe due to this or PCO my periods also got delayed which made me excited but I was crushed when it finally came.

This went on for six, seven months. Then I decided I'm not gonna lose my mind over this. I thought I will concentrate on my health because I had to lose weight anyway. So I started eating healthy. That's when I started paleo diet because one major enemy for PCO is carbs. So this diet really helped me to cut out carbs and eat lot of fresh veggies and fruits. I joined a gym too.

We weren't actively TTC during this time. Just did the deed once!!!! And because I was so sure it's a rare chance I didn't worry much. I was travelling a lot, and was doing all kind of physical activity which I didn't do earlier. I didn't even realise I missed my period. But once I found out it got delayed by one day I just stopped gymming and ate healthy and drank lot of water. And didn't test till I was a week late. And I couldn't believe my eyes when I got my BFP!!!

Previously I interpreted everything as a symptom. But this time I just had sore boobs which is always the case before my periods. Other than that I had no symptom at all. It started only a week after missed periods.

I'm not gonna tell u to stop worrying or be anxious because its unavoidable. Just divert your mind with something else. My suggestion for PCOS is just forget carbs and sugar for sometime. Eat healthy and drink loads of water. Other than that be yourself. Lot of baby dust to u ladies!!!! Hope u all get your BFP s soon... lots of love 😘😘😘
