PCOS Pregnancy

DON’T GIVE UP!🌺 This post is just for anyone out there who’s currently struggling with PCOS or simply just wishing for a BFP. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was around 13/14 my cycle was always an issue it would either be right on track for 3/4 months or i simply just wouldn’t get a period for 3/4 months I was put on birth control at an early age to “regulate” my cycle (it would just make it worst) so honestly I was never be on birth control for more then a month in a row. Fast forward - I got married (2013) and my husband and I decided to start trying within our first year we knew it wasn’t going to be easy due to my cycle being all over the place. After a couple months of no luck naturally i tried going to drs and was automatically given birth control for 90 days to “regulate”my cycle AGAIN my body would go nuts with it so that would be a problem. I tried everything you think of (clomid included) and it got to a point where I just gave up, after months of being on treatments I was just over it I felt like I had failed as a women. April 2016 I experienced my first miscarriage (I had no idea I was expecting) I ended up in the ER because of what I thought was a really bad period came to find out I was actually going through a miscarriage. I was shattered I didn’t understand why, again I felt like I failed at my job being a woman/wife but a tiny part of me was relieved that my body was actually able to “function” as a woman and get pregnant. After this I thought it would be easy to start trying again. I was WRONG. Months passed by TWO years and nothing, I GAVE UP once again I was over it. I just couldn’t keep putting my body through so much stress. I gave up in the sense that I was over the treatments the doctor visits. It was to a point where I wouldn’t even share with my husband if I had any “symptoms” because I didn’t want to end up breaking his heart with negative tests. I “gave up” but in all honesty there was still a little ray of hope every month. AUGUST I made myself a deal I decided to work on me for my child! I was over weight and I decided to work on being a better person over all. I made myself promise that if I lost 30 pounds I would start treatment again (that would be my reward for shedding my first 30 pounds). I started my journey and dedicated myself to eating healthy working out (i cut out any alcohol dairy and red meats) I started doing this for ME to become a better person for my future child and I would always remind myself that and trust me that was my motivation. 3 1/2 months went by I was 27 pounds down I was so close to my goal and I felt proud of myself I felt like such a different person my attitude changed everything did. December 31st I woke up and randomly found a pregnancy test keep in mind

I had almost 4 months with out testing..... I GOT MY POSITIVE!😭💖 I’m now expecting my baby boy due in September. Don’t give up ladies. It’s hard sometimes to keep your head up I totally understand I went through it for over 5 years almost 6. There’s always a sunshine when at the end!
