I finally called my doctor

After 2.5 years of trying, so many tests, so many treatment methods, much heartbreak and many shed tears I called my doctor. I now have an appointment to discuss my really irregular periods, fertility struggles, and all my questions. I’ve done research about pcos and so much of that describes what i’m experiencing. It’s taken so much for me to accept that I need help if I’m ever going to have a baby. Wish me luck! And for anyone also struggling, I hope you get your happy ending!

Good luck to you ❤️

It's the best route to go.

It’s important to check in with a doctor but I also have many tips for you. Do you have any like excessive hair growth or acne? It really depends on which type of pcos you have, it helps you understand what you need to focus on. Do you know what type of pcos you have? In general Stabilize your blood sugar, eating protein fat and carb at every meal + snack. Limit sugar. Prioritize sleep. Cycle sync. And get to the root of your imbalances.. this looks like depleted minerals and gut pathogens. I’m happy to help answer any questions you have

I struggle with acne on and excessive hair growth on my upper lip, under my chin, stomach, and breasts. i haven’t been officially diagnosed but from the research i’ve been doing about fertility/infertility pcos fits the best

Does this looks positive or negative?

Do you sometimes feel like people are having kids for all the wrong, selfish reasons??

I had an old friend tell me that she’s trying to get pregnant because she wants a girl so she can do her hair and she’s “excited to buy cute baby girl clothes” and be able to “have a best friend”. Like sure that’s cool, but also babies are not toys lol. They are expensive and eventually become adults who didn’t ask to be here and will have to deal with the fawked up, failed system we birthed them into and hope to God they’re smart enough to make a real difference.

Advice

Is it normal to have an ovulation test come back with a second faint line like this 3 days before my period? My period is due on Friday 27th, but I’ve just gone a pregnancy test and it’s negative.

Have I tested too early or am I just not pregnant?
