To Start Things Off


My husband and I have been married for nearly five years. When we got married, we dreamed of someday starting a family of our own. We thought that the time had come about two years into our marriage, so we went to the doctor to get the ball rolling. It was then that I was officially diagnosed with PCOS, but assured that we could still get pregnant with only a little extra effort.

Six months later, I had still not conceived and was getting frustrated and tired after two failed rounds of Clomid. We decided the timing just wasn't right, so we put our family dreams on hold and took some time off.

Two more years went by and we started to get serious again about having a baby. We decided to try the natural route with herbs and supplements. Although we both definitely noticed a difference in the way we felt, we still were not getting the results we were wanting (pregnancy). So, back to the doctor I went to get started on Metformin.

We have been trying now for the past eight months to get pregnant. I have immersed myself in research, support groups, anything I can find that might help me to finally be able to show my husband what a positive pregnancy test looks like up close.
