Hey guys so a little about me. Me and my husband of nearly 5 years have been TTC baby #1 for 6 years. I have PCOS and due to that i have very irregular and heavy periods and have confirmed by the doctors that i do not ovulate. We have been going to the doctors for 5 years regarding TTC but i have been going to the doctors regarding my periods etc for about 12 years and only this year i was actually told what was wrong with me. I am also overweight and due to having PCOS i have STRUGGLED to lose weight no matter what diet or how much exercise i do after losing around 14lbs its like my body says 'nope no more' and its just exausting now. I have an appointment with the GP at the begining of August were we are going to talk about the possibility of going down the route of weightloss surgery so we can go down the route of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. I have always been opposed to this as i cannot deal with the judgement but recently i have come to the realisation that i will be doing it for my hopefully furture children. Anyway the reason im posting..... i have started to take a daily dose of 4000mg of Macca Root as i have read hundreds of posts and articles for the benefits it has regarding to women with PCOS. I am also aware of the negatives too but i am trying this as the last thing before weightloss surgery. I have been doing an ovulation strip daily since starting and the last one i done (bottom strip) is the DARKEST an ovulation strip has ever been for me. (In my case of PCOS i produce too much estrogen and not enough progesterone) and yes i do know this is not a positive but just sharing as we have kept this whole TTC journey between me and my husband (besides our parents) and need others to get these things of my chest.
