Pcos journey+TTC advice

Courtney

Hiii,

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 12 years ago and I’ve always struggled with getting periods regularly until the last 3 years, I dropped 120 pounds and started living a healthier lifestyle which helped a lot! I hadn’t had my period for 2 months and then found out on August 2nd that I was 6 weeks pregnant, unfortunately August 15th I started heavy bleeding and a few days later my blood tests numbers went way down which resulted in a miscarriage. It hit my husband and I super hard as we’ve been together 10 years and I’ve always been told that getting pregnant naturally wasn’t happening for me so we thought this was finally our dream come true.

I bled for a week and got blood tested again which showed no more HCG in my body, I was advised to use the LH testing strips to track my cycle and so far I had 2 high test results in September and nothing this month, I’m on day 22 into my cycle and got the high reading the month before on cycle day 26 so there is still hope 🤞🏻 One thing that’s confusing me is can women with PCOS use LH test strips? I’ve read a lot of conflicting articles online so I’m really not sure. I am new at TTC and am trying to learn everything as best as I can but sometimes this stuff gets confusing 🤪 If you have any advice for me please let me know! Or any rainbow baby stories ♥️

Anyways, thank you so much for reading my post. I have seen so many amazing posts/comments and talked to some really great people on here.

I am so grateful for you all 🥰
