Ovaryaction

Isn’t it funny, you spend the first 5+ years of your sexually active life taking pills, getting injections, wearing patches and inserting rods and coils in all sorts of places trying to prevent unwanted pregnancy. When dreaming of your future as a child/teenager, you expect to meet someone, get married, have a baby and live happily ever after. Then the next minute, you're 25, married to your Prince Charming and hopelessly wishing you could complete your family with your own little bundle of joy. But for some, it isn’t always that easy. After a year and a half, I was trying to conceive the baby that I had been preventing for so many years. It took a year and a half of tears, blood tests, scans, samples and monthly heartaches to be told I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Due to this, I was not ovulating, therefore had no chance at all of conceiving. Now on Metformin, for the first time I got a positive on my ovulation sticks! With the future looking that little bit brighter, we smile, we hope and we plod along.

To all those trying to conceive out there... Baby dust to you all 💖💙💖💙
