Dear friends, just want to share my story and encourage those on your journey trying for your babies.

I married the love of my life in June 2015. Happy and in love, we pretty soon started trying to have a baby as it was something I wanted so much to have with my Husband out of love.

I never had regular periods and so I expected that it might not be the easiest for me to get pregnant. But after trying for months and months, after over reading symptom after symptom, nothing was happening.. I started to worry and fret over what was wrong with me and feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness started to set in.

While I was still trying to get pregnant, My younger sister who got married later than me, got pregnant within 5 months of marriage. I know this sounds selfish, but While I tried hard to be happy for her, I was filled with so much envy and jealousy that she conceived so easily and I am still with no baby.

Out of desperation, I went for a fertility check and was diagnosed with PCOS. I Guess that explains the irregular periods. I was crushed as I knew that it was not going to be easy getting pregnant and that this might never happen for me. But thank goodness for a supportive husband who was there for me and encouraged me and told me that we could just keep trying, I held on to him and to my faith somehow.

With my husband’s support and encouragement, I never stopped looking for ways to raise my chances of getting pregnant. I took supplements and exercised and change my diet. But girls, what finally worked for me was acupuncture. I went for acupuncture treatments weekly and took oral chinese herbs to regulate ovulation. With some consistency and faith, my husband and I finally got pregnant naturally within 2 months ! :)

After 3 years of trying, I have just given birth to a healthy baby boy and I love my little family so so much.

Dear ladies with PCOS, and ladies who are trying to conceive and ladies who are jaded and hopeless on this journey waiting for your baby, pls don’t be.. stay strong, have faith, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.nurture">nurture</a> your relationship with your hubby and never ever give up.. your sweet little baby will come to you soon :)

Lots of love and kisses and best wishes ❤️💕
