While a PCOS diagnoses can be heartbreaking, finally having answers and knowing what’s causing infertility can give you some peace of mind. I was diagnosed 10 years ago, I was never told it would cause a high risk pregnancy though.We tried for 11 years. We tried clomid,letrozole, I had multiple HSGs and eventually had ovarian drilling surgery. We eventually gave up because although I managed to lose weight which triggered ovulation sporadically it just wasn’t happening.I pinned all of the pain on PCOS and hated myself for years. I was convinced it would never happen without IVF which we just couldn’t afford.Fast forward to December 2022, I changed jobs. Lost more weight. Went abroad. Got EXTREMELY drunk and let myself go.After 11 years of trying, after having a diagnosis that I thought defined me… I got my BFP.We’re now 22 weeks with our little girl and never thought it would be possible.I’ve spoken to soooooo many women over the years and heard stories like mine, I always assumed I was the odd one one out. It turns out things truly do happen when they’re meant to 💖

I was officially diagnosed with infertility today. Just sitting with that hurts. Today I was also diagnosed with PCOS which is why we aren’t getting pregnant. Our doctor worked with my husband and i to come up with a plan moving forward-she was wonderful. I guess I’m just grieving that I’m the 1 in 6. And with PCOS, even if we do get pregnant, our chances of miscarriage is higher and the pregnancy is high risk. I’m grieving that we can’t have the exciting journey that so many of my friends have without medical intervention and that anxiety will follow a positive result as we hold the risk of losing our baby if we do finally conceive them with PCOS complications. Infertility is so unfair. Infertility just plain hurts.
