I have been thinking about writing this post for a while, but kept hesitating and doubting myself because it is a scary thing to share and not something that everyone talks about. But after a lot of consideration and prayer I really feel like it is something I want to share with you all! Mainly because I feel like I can help other women who are struggling with PCOS and infertility issues.
This past month I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It is something that I have had doctors mention in the past because we had trouble getting pregnant with Grey, but I was never officially diagnosed. Davis and I am have been trying for baby number 3 for a year now with no luck and I finally sought help from more than just my OBGYN. I am so thankful to finally have a diagnosis and reason that I am not getting pregnant besides just "unexplained infertility". I am not your typical case because a lot of the time patients with PCOS are overweight because PCOS makes it harder to lose weight. I believe that because I keep my sugar (PCOS has a lot to do with your your body processes sugar/carbs) and diet in check (and workout) I have been able to partially control my PCOS symptoms and that is why my symptoms have not been worse. Anyway, I simply wanted to share this with you so that you can understand more of where I am coming from when I share certain struggles and so you can know that I don't just eat well and work out to look good. I do it to feel good and to control my PCOS symptoms. It is truly about health for me and I want to help others see this and adopt a healthy lifestyle. If you have PCOS (or think you might) please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to share what I have learned about it so far and the difference that changing a few things in your diet can make! YOU can help control your PCOS so that it doesn't control you!
