PCOS Hope
Hi ladies. I just wanted to share my 11 year fertility story.
When I was 19 I got married and soon after started trying to get pregnant. A few years went by and after no pregnancies I went to the doctor and was told I have PCOS and with my weight, almost no periods and lab results, I was told it would be damn near impossible for me to get pregnant on my own. 😞 So we tried clomid a few cycles. Nothing happened.
My ex husband was checked as well and we were told that his sperm count was horrible and morphology was almost non existent. IVF was our only option. Our marriage eventually ended a few years later from other reasons.
Well I got a new lease on life and ended up losing almost 100 pounds and I got 29-30 day cycles naturally! 👍
But I still didn't think I could get pregnant. Here I am almost 30, the only woman that I know
Of at my age with no babies. Well eventually I met an awesome guy and to appease him I went on birth control for about a year. Well we got married, and after a few months I went off birth control. Month one I took a opk for giggles and it was very positive when it should have been. My first opk positive off drugs in my life. To say I was shocked is an understatement. 😧
We had sex but my period came the day after it should have. 😒
Month two I didn't take a opk, we just had sex when I thought we should based on last month and glow. The day of my expected period rolls around and nothing. Next day nothing. Third day nothing. I seriously thought my period was just late. (I had had a few late ones since losing the weight) After going 11 years, seeing one line for so long deep down I just thought no way. Well I picked up a few cheapies from wal mart and took one a few hours after I got home. And I watched as the test line came into view and turned dark pink before the control line even showed. Two lines. 😧
I just started at it in shock for what seemed like
Forever. So I took another one; it of course was positive too.
I had every sign of severe PCOS. 100
Extra pounds, hair everywhere (I've had that removed forever with laser from my face) no ovulation, high testosterone, cysts and no period. I've cried more times than I can court and got mad, then sad again. Asked why so many times. Cried some more. I did that for years and had come to terms with the fact I would never be a mom.
But somehow I got pregnant the second month we tried. I'm 18 weeks today with my son.
There is always hope, never give up. ☺️
