Hi everyone! I know a lot of people are still discovering my channel because of this video. I wanted to give you all a little hope and tell you I'M PREGNANT! YAY! I'm due in June. I documented the entire process of getting to this point and have also been sharing my pregnancy journey, so far. So make sure you check out my other videos too!
Britt Hanlon thank you so much for sharing. I too have PCOS and my husband and I are TTC. It’s hard as ever and very expensive but we are determined to have a child. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and will take any tips you give in your other videos. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! It’s a huge relief to know I am not the only one.
What app did you use to track when your fertile? Been married for almost 2 years and without birth control for 1year and still no baby. I have a baby boy so I thought since I had him .I was done with PCOS. He is 3. So just recently the doctor said PCOS is still there😑 now taking Metformin to help me get a period. When and if I do get a period how many days after will I possibly ovulate since idk if it will be a month to month cycle or every other month cycle.
I have pcos and it took us 10 years to get pregnant! But it finally happened and all natural! 38 weeks today!!! So glad you got your positive and will be holding your baby soon 💜 this video will help a lot of couples struggling. Good luck with your pregnancy!!
I just had my 2nd miscarriage. I have PCOS too. Doc says my ovulation isn’t strong enough. I’m so devastated. 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for posting this. It’s so encouraging to me to know that you’re gonna have a sweet little boy & you have the same thing I do. So thank you for “speaking up about fertility”. I am that 1 in 8, and I am that 1 in 10. We’re all in this together! ❤️
Often with PCOS your progesterone and oestrogen levels can be low during pregnancy which often results in miscarriage. I had low progesterone during my pregnancy but it was detected at my doctors so I had to take progesterone right up until the third trimester in my case. A lot of people don't know about this and if these hormones are too low it can cause your uterus to contract and go into early labour. Miscarriages are so awful- I had one. Hope you're ok.
Just change your diet and it can be reversed. Exercise for 20 minutes a day.. can be yoga, walking or light moderate exercise. Also you need to get rid of the sugar and eat a low carb diet.. more greens, seeds, fruits and vegetables. You will see a change in a few months with a regular period
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was just diagnosed with PCOS. I am devastated. Thank you for sharing this and for making me feel not alone. Good luck on your journey I hope you and your hubby get your miracle baby 👶🏻
Best of luck to you. I hadn't been on birth control since January 2011 and never conceived (also wasn't trying, but was okay) in 2015 we wanted a baby and nothing happened .. I had expressed early 2016 that I thought I may have PCOS and the dr laughed it up. Sept 2016 if was confirmed, PCOS! I seen multiple dr and they all said "you're young, it will be fine" If one doesn't struggle to conceive and have a baby they so desperately desire, they don't understand the frustration and sadness it brings. Yesterday we just found out we're pregnant! (I didn't get on medication, just wished for the best and decided not to stress for awhile) and it happened! I hope you get everything you want too!
Wow! Congratulations - I'm so excited for you!! That's amazing! You always hear it will happen when you aren't trying - so hard to just let go though, I feel like it's always in the back of my mind! It's interesting how long it takes to get a diagnosis when it's such a common condition among women! Thankfully, my doctor is so understanding and sympathetic, but I've heard that there are so many fertility doctors out there who aren't. Wishing you an easy and healthy pregnancy!
I totally understand your condition. My aunt also went through the same situation. She was finally diagnosed with infertility. It was a very tough time. She consulted a fertility clinic. It proved helpful for her. This is very common. It demands more awareness. I hope the solution becomes easier with time.
I'm so glad you shared this! I love your happy and bubbly personality but it was so refreshing to see this side of you too. I'm praying for you and Ben! And I'm really looking forward to seeing the next one. 💜
Thank you for sharing, putting your story out there has really helped me. I feel like women feel left alone when being diagnosed with PCOS and infertility, but when you are able to listen to others who have the same issues. It makes the weight of the world feel a little lighter. So again thank you for sharing and helping me.
You said every word I’ve EVER said to myself about having PCOS and the struggle to have a child. So happy I found your channel and found such a wonderful person who understands what this is like.
Thanks for sharing!! Just subscribed. I'm following your channel for two reasons 1. I can relate to your story, I was just diagnosed with PCOS. 2. Your sneeze face cracked me up, love a girl with a sense of humor!! On to the next video I go!!
Such a touching story. People do go through a lot battling with infertility. I have seen many women give up in the middle of the journey. But when I heard this story. I feel rejuvenated. I feel like nothing is impossible with patience and persistence. I am so glad that someone could share their story. I believe this will help someone out there. Especially that women who was getting tired of making it to the end. To those who felt like without children there is nothing to be happy of. I am now a mother. And I can say during my treatment in Bio texcom I learn a lot. I saw other women through my journey. Others who had gone through times than I. But they never gave up. They believed that one day they will make it. Bur when I was done with my treatment. They walked out of the clinic as happy parents. So I do believe in a happy ending.
I wish I’ll find the courage to share my story as well on my channel but it makes so emotional that for the longest time we’ve prevented to get pregnant and now that we’re ready, found out that I have PCOS. God bless you! 💕
Just stumbled on to this video, and thank you so much for uploading it. I just recently found out I have pcos and I definitely needed this to remind me I'm not alone 💖

Hello pretty! Thanks for making the video ! Stay strong! I also have pcos for so many years. But, still trying via surrogacy this month at a center in Kiev. I've had failed IVFs in past. So, yeah! Keep going! You're right about the steps. Our prayers are with you. Stay blessed babe. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and my husband and I are trying to conceive. It’s been a rough journey, but I know that there’s hope because of people like you!
Thank you for this video. I just found out I have PCOS after being off birth control for 5 months while trying to conceive. I had 2 early miscarriages in those 5 months. Stories like yours give me hope!
I think 🤔 it’s a good thing you Women are sharing. So you know you are not alone.

britt, i have only just come across your channel but oh my goodness I NEEDED to hear this. E V E R Y T H I N G you have said, is happening with me right at this moment and my heart is crushing, like you said, all you ever wanted was to be a mum and I am exactly the same. Sending you oodles or prayers for you and your little family of three and waiting ever so impatiently for our time to come x
I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago. My husband and I have been ttc for 6 years and we are still trying. I am now going to start trying a lot of natural products that help with insulin resistance, hormone imbalance etc. I'm holding fingers, I'm 28 now so would really love to finally get my positive. Thank you for sharing your story, it is really great to know I'm not alone. ❤️
Good evening to you I am a new follower and I really want to thank you for showing ur amazing story with us. Many of us women go through d struggle of fertility and we get comfort and hope from ur story. I pray god continue to bless ur family congrats.
Thank you so much for sharing! I had similar experience.We researched lots of clinics and locations before deciding on Ukrainian BioTex. Our first meeting was a couple of weeks ago. We did all needed medical tests. Our doctor gave us treatment plan. So now we are getting ready to embryos transfer! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time!
Your story mirrors mine! Exact timeline and frustrations. Thank you so much for putting this out on UA-cam for someone who is also struggling with PCOS.
Thank you so much for sharing. You hit the nail on the head which the emotion of it all. You are right you think it’s just going to happen until it doesn’t. My husband and I have been suffering for a long time and you go through different stages of grieve. Some days you are ok and some days are really low. I’m going to watch part II now. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. ❤️
This is so good of you opening about your struggles with infertility. PCOS is one of the infertile problems that many women do go through. I know quite a number of women who are mothers yet they have PCOS. But I can say that the journey to them was rough. I can draw this one example in particular. A long friend of mine. Since high school days in our senior classes. She was diagnosed with PCOS in Bio texcom clinic. It was so heartbreaking for her. Knowing that she will have to go through after marriage. Well, but knowing earlier about your situation is good. Because she started medications right away. This was to enable her have regular periods. And also reduce the other symptoms. 3 years in marriage ttc. It was long for her. But happily she later managed to become mother.
I just had my first IUI two days ago which was when I started to watch your videos. It helps me so much to get through this process and to know what I can expect from all of this. So thank you so much for sharing your story with the world and being so honest. Best of luck with your pregnancy!!!
Britt Hanlon Thank you so much! I'm really nervous. I watched all your videos and I was surprised about what you've been going through. Because my doctor told us we wouldn't need any of thr drugs. I literally didn't get anything before or after. Thats why I'm so unsure about the results.
Being through PCOS. I can share my diet list that I took from Bio tex clinic during my treatment. The consumption of good fats is pivotal in your body producing and balancing hormones. Because estrogen dominance is very often associated with PCOS, it’s best to stick with organic animal products. Cutting back on your consumption of even unrefined (or natural) sugars is also important as any type of sugar affects the body’s insulin production. Some women, especially those with moderate to severe PCOS find that eating a primal diet is needed to reduce and even eliminate symptoms. While the jury is still out on how soy affects hormones production due to the phytoestrogens in it, it’s still on my do not eat list. Herbs and whole foods based supplements can be very effective when regulating the menstrual cycle. Drinking a fertility tea every day will nourish your body with nutrients as well as naturally balance hormones.
Sem Ragn do you have a strict plan that you could share ?! i’m really tired of this situation and i would love to try whatever i can in order to get pregnant
Hi mam'am.. I'm really thankful to you for sharing your story with us. Your story gives hope to all hopeless people. I was also diagnosed of PCOS. After knowing this, I was totally out of mind , I used to be depressed most of the times. I had no hope. But now I'm feeling much hopeful. And I pray for you and your hubby too , that may you be blessed with a miracle baby. I really respect you and love you for sharing your story. Thanks a lot!
Dad and I love you, Britt. Those babies are going to come eventually, and when they do, it will be well worth everything you and Ben had to go through to get them. And their grandparents will be spoiling them rotten and then sending them home to you. Ha ha. P.S. What is that lipstick you are wearing? I must have it!
I kinda always knew something was wrong with me since I never saw a normal period. My doctor, when I was a tween even mentioned PCOS as a possibility, but they refused to look into actually diagnosing it and treating it beyond throwing metformin at me. I even went to an OBGYN in my 20s trying to find out if I was even able to get pregnant or not, but was told to come back when I was actually TTC. Now I'm married and very much TTC and finally, I've been diagnosed with PCOS. Now I'm finding out that EVERYTHING that was EVER wrong with me medically is related! My weight! My horrible and debilitating anxiety! My depression! the ackee! facile hair! and a whole host of other things that they could have been treating before now! I just wanna say! I think it's REALLY messed up that when a women walks into an OBGYN and basically says, "Hey! Everything is working perfectly with my body! I ovulate every month regularly, and my period comes just fine! Could you like, brake it, please?" and BOOMB she walks out with birth control! But when someone like me presents herself actually wanting and needing real treatment to fix something we SHOULD be able to fix by now! She's told to leave with no help! BTW, I wasn't diagnosed by an OBGYN! I was diagnosed by a general family doctor that just has a personal interest in women with infertility. Personally, I think OBGYNs are all just quacks! All they know how to do is brake fertility or go around it.
yay found your channel through this video and I can so relate! Am a health coach with PCOS and feeling called to document my ttc journey. Thanks for making this, it empowers me for my recording too!
I knew I had PCOS long before my official diagnosis. The acne and body hair were dead giveaways. I always had regular periods and have not been on birth control for at least 10 years but for some reason, my husband and I have not been able to conceive. They found many follicles in my ovaries. Uterus was perfectly clear and endometrium was normal. I had to wait a year to find out from a doctor what I already knew. PCOS sucks but I felt the same exact way you did. Ellie and Jared's story came to my mind and gave me a sense of hope. Thank you for sharing your journey and I really hope you get your BFP soon!
Don't give up it will happen then you'll ever come back on UA-cam and we going to hear it okay cuz it can happen you did great I'm proud of you don't give up
I'm 20 and been trying for a while before I found out I have PCOS... Consultations after consultations to try and fall pregnant.. Hopefully I will conceive soon.. thank you for posting this video x
My sister had PCOS to. It left her infertile. I am sure a lot of women here are facing the same issue. That's why I am sharing this with you. Don't be upset. You can't let this disease ruin your life. Always remember that you have the option of Surrogacy. Things will be fine for you.
Thank you for sharing! I have PCOS and am struggling with infertility as we speak. Might be trying the fertility meds next month so thanks for the heads up on the side effects!
I know this video is a year old now but I can relate so much to it. Me and my fiancé have been ttc for over a year and a half and yesterday I found out that I actually have PCOS ! For someone like me who has been ttc for so long already this is heartbreaking news. It gives me relief for the most part because I now know why I’m struggling to get pregnant but on the other hand I now have something wrong with me and wanting kids so bad makes me worry I won’t ever have them. I’m now on a journey to start different treatments to help me ovulate and in the hopes that we conceive soon. I’ve enjoyed listening to your story and I hope it helps people like me. 💙
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm so glad you shared I'm in the same boat as you and viewing UA-cam videos to pretty much find hope in my situation and know that it'll be okay and watching these wonderful videos does give me hope and clams me to know that it'll work out for us as well. I know exactly what you mean by think it's easy to get pregnant had 5 girls in our high school pregnant in grade 11 and the teachers talk to us all more seriously about how easy it is and then I find out it's not easy atleast for me I've had pcos since I was about 14 diagnosed at about 18 year with external ultra sound and I love Ellie and jared watching them has given me so much hope. We are trying now had 2 miscarrages but hoping and praying for a miracle:-)
Thank you Britt for sharing your story with us. I also have PCOS and been TTC for a while now. Hope next cycle I will be able to see BFP. Baby Dusts to you all ladies
The story is so heart touching. I am highly impressed. I have subscribed to your channel now. I must say, you are beautiful. Your channel is helpful, no doubt. Take care.
I have pcos too. Im now on cd 12 with clomid. Today is my follicle ultrasound. We are very exited and positive. After so many negative tests and not knowing why my period didn't come. We now finally know that I have pcos and we finally got help conceiving feels so good. We now have a chance!
Britt Hanlon thank you! It did! Not one but two eggs were developing in my left ovary. So now we need to "get to work" and hope for the best. 😊 I haven't watched your more recent videos but I hope your babywish will come true one day too! We need to stay positive for oneanother right! 😘send you all the love and best whises...And a stork hhahaha!
Im so glad to realise im not the only one in world and sorry thats may not help you me saying that but this video did help me. I have been so doen recently i had not seen a period for 5 months and now im on with some gush heavy i want to kill the world in pain. Im so done with this and i have pcos but i have a child. Trick is excercise, vegan helps, gluten free, massages, yoga and meditation and put it at back of your head
Hello ladies, please research maca root & the importance of iodine...The thyroid has alot to do with fertility...Maca increases male sperm count...Hope this helps...😜
This is my first time in your channel and I love you already! I have pcos and for me it also took a while to sink in because I thought it couldn’t possibly be true. Thanks for sharing your story!
Krista Cooper Maca root (research) good for thyroid & fertility...Male & female fertility...I've dealt with hypo & pcos, have 3 children youngest is 17...Also please research iodine...
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!
hello i have cyst in both of my ovary but the doctor says it is tiny small and i have fibroids but it is not so bad i am trying to concieve a baby with my husband since 2016 and now on October 2017 and i have not gotten pregnant and i am getting my period i started taking vitex for 6 days now and soon will take fertility pills and try again in November.
Hey, I'm doing a video for PCOS awareness and was wondering if I could use a little clip from your video? I'm including lots of other cysters, just to show the magnitude of this condition.
hi hun. hope things go well for you. ill pray for you. you are so beautiful. you are tsrong. just keep trying you will make it. prayers for me too, please. ill soon be going for surrogacy. finger crossed.
I am so sorry Britt about your infertility story and undergoing PCOS. There are certain changes that one needs to make to one's lifestyle, apart from taking medication, in order to get pregnant. Firstly, one must follow a healthy diet. I was told this by my doctor in Bio tex clinic and it did work for me. Women suffering from PCOS should not eat too many carbohydrates and proteins. Instead, they should eat a diet rich in seafood, nuts, eggs and chicken. This will help build stamina and enable one to lose weight. If a woman is overweight, it is important that she make an effort to lose the excess weight. There are certain natural remedies, which help in treating PCOS. Ginseng and the Chaste tree normalizes the functions of the hormonal glands, which produce progesterone. Women with PCOS can contract gestational diabetes, suffer from a miscarriage, pre-term birth and may have to undergo a C-section delivery. If a woman with PCOS gets pregnant, it is important for her to work with her health care provider to ensure that she has a healthy pregnancy and a smooth delivery.
It makes me sad that your doctor didn’t help more with your pcos. It’s a condition we are born with, and given that it’s a metabolic disorder, there are so many ways through diet and lifestyle changes that you can improve or get rid of symptoms and manage this naturally for the rest of your life. The best (in my experience) is to follow pcos focused nutritionists - they share the most valuable content and action plans. Even my endocrinologist only ever pushes pills. Once you have your blood work (full hormone panel) usually you can see what is driving your pcos symptoms and work from there. It’s a slow process, but consistency really makes a difference
Thanks for sharing! Crazy that it took so long for them to diagnose! Which birth control pill were you on when your skin was staying clear? Also how is it so clear in the video if not on the pill? MC
I was on a number of brands of the pill and then NuvaRing over the years - all of them helped! My skin is much better now, but still a lot different than it used to be. I almost always have some sort of breakout and a lot of scarring, but I saw a dermatologist and finally found some products that really helped me. I'm planning to film a skin care routine soon. I also have on a lot of makeup when I'm filming haha and pretty high coverage foundation :)
I went three years without a period after coming off the pill. Now i have thyroid problems not sure if it was caused by all my hormones being out of whack or what.
This is why birth control is one of the worst things for ladies with PCOS (most of the time) Birth control is a quick fix for a much, MUCH more serious issue.
CL me why not watch you you talkin interesting I mean we all want to hear what you got to say and you too and all the apps and online they want us to be out best for the people so you be your best you get blessed for the People by yourself cuz it works you know it make you feel better that you help somebody else who's going through it you ain't give up UC
Heyy i have a question ? Is this normal to get more facial hair during pregnancy ? As i know with pcos we have to deal with hair growth ,but idk is this normal to get more than before , i am really worried about it can you please help me with this
Do you experience thinning hair or hair loss on your head? I have PCOS and it's causing me to have a wide hairline :( I'm 17 and this is a huge blow to my self esteem. Do you know if there's anything I can do to treat it?
Recently found out I have pcos and my doctor put me on birth control to help with my hormones and also she give me metformin do you think it's a good idea
I felt the same way I was on birth control for 5 years got off and did not start my period for a YEARRR I went to the doctor they told me I should not have waited so long and it puts me at risk for ovarian cancer they gave me provera which was the worst pain ever!! it's not a year later and my peiods are a lot more normal ever 2 months some time month to month but I struggle with infertility and it breaks my heart every day I often find myself hating the fact I was ever on birth control I feel like it effected my body alot!!! your story really hit the heart I see your expecting congrats hope fully my time will come soon with good diet and exercise
Who doesn't want to listen to the laughter of baby in their home? Every couple wants to be parents. But today’s lifestyle, improper eating habits, hectic schedule and genetic factors cause a case of infertility in some couples. Herbs are very beneficial to resolve infertility naturally without causing any negative impact on health. Shatavari Capsules of Planet Ayurveda provide great effects.

Thank you, Kaylyn! You're too sweet :)
Thank you for this video. I just found out I have PCOS after being off birth control for 5 months while trying to conceive. I had 2 early miscarriages in those 5 months. Stories like yours give me hope!

E V E R Y T H I N G you have said, is happening with me right at this moment and my heart is crushing, like you said, all you ever wanted was to be a mum and I am exactly the same. Sending you oodles or prayers for you and your little family of three and waiting ever so impatiently for our time to come x
I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago. My husband and I have been ttc for 6 years and we are still trying. I am now going to start trying a lot of natural products that help with insulin resistance, hormone imbalance etc. I'm holding fingers, I'm 28 now so would really love to finally get my positive. Thank you for sharing your story, it is really great to know I'm not alone. ❤️
Good evening to you I am a new follower and I really want to thank you for showing ur amazing story with us. Many of us women go through d struggle of fertility and we get comfort and hope from ur story. I pray god continue to bless ur family congrats.
Just found out I have PCOS. No wonder my husband and I haven't conceived in the 6 months we've been trying. Thanks for sharing!! It's encouraging.
Thank you so much for sharing! I had similar experience.We researched lots of clinics and locations before deciding on Ukrainian BioTex. Our first meeting was a couple of weeks ago. We did all needed medical tests. Our doctor gave us treatment plan. So now we are getting ready to embryos transfer! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time!
Your story mirrors mine! Exact timeline and frustrations. Thank you so much for putting this out on UA-cam for someone who is also struggling with PCOS.
Thank you so much for sharing. You hit the nail on the head which the emotion of it all. You are right you think it’s just going to happen until it doesn’t. My husband and I have been suffering for a long time and you go through different stages of grieve. Some days you are ok and some days are really low. I’m going to watch part II now. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. ❤️
This is so good of you opening about your struggles with infertility. PCOS is one of the infertile problems that many women do go through. I know quite a number of women who are mothers yet they have PCOS. But I can say that the journey to them was rough. I can draw this one example in particular. A long friend of mine. Since high school days in our senior classes. She was diagnosed with PCOS in Bio texcom clinic. It was so heartbreaking for her. Knowing that she will have to go through after marriage. Well, but knowing earlier about your situation is good. Because she started medications right away. This was to enable her have regular periods. And also reduce the other symptoms. 3 years in marriage ttc. It was long for her. But happily she later managed to become mother.
Thank you for posting this, I’ve been trying to conceive for over a year & I was just diagnosed with PCOS & starting treatments! Much love. ❤️
I just had my first IUI two days ago which was when I started to watch your videos. It helps me so much to get through this process and to know what I can expect from all of this. So thank you so much for sharing your story with the world and being so honest. Best of luck with your pregnancy!!!
Good luck during your 2ww!
Britt Hanlon Thank you so much! I'm really nervous. I watched all your videos and I was surprised about what you've been going through. Because my doctor told us we wouldn't need any of thr drugs. I literally didn't get anything before or after. Thats why I'm so unsure about the results.
Being through PCOS. I can share my diet list that I took from Bio tex clinic during my treatment. The consumption of good fats is pivotal in your body producing and balancing hormones. Because estrogen dominance is very often associated with PCOS, it’s best to stick with organic animal products. Cutting back on your consumption of even unrefined (or natural) sugars is also important as any type of sugar affects the body’s insulin production. Some women, especially those with moderate to severe PCOS find that eating a primal diet is needed to reduce and even eliminate symptoms. While the jury is still out on how soy affects hormones production due to the phytoestrogens in it, it’s still on my do not eat list. Herbs and whole foods based supplements can be very effective when regulating the menstrual cycle. Drinking a fertility tea every day will nourish your body with nutrients as well as naturally balance hormones.
Sem Ragn do you have a strict plan that you could share ?! i’m really tired of this situation and i would love to try whatever i can in order to get pregnant
Thank you for sharing this! You are incredible! We are always cheering you on!
Hi mam'am.. I'm really thankful to you for sharing your story with us. Your story gives hope to all hopeless people. I was also diagnosed of PCOS. After knowing this, I was totally out of mind , I used to be depressed most of the times. I had no hope. But now I'm feeling much hopeful. And I pray for you and your hubby too , that may you be blessed with a miracle baby. I really respect you and love you for sharing your story. Thanks a lot!
Dad and I love you, Britt. Those babies are going to come eventually, and when they do, it will be well worth everything you and Ben had to go through to get them. And their grandparents will be spoiling them rotten and then sending them home to you. Ha ha. P.S. What is that lipstick you are wearing? I must have it!
+Lisa Roberts thank you mama 😘 You do have it! Hahaha in that smash box trio. I just added gloss
Well, what gloss are you using then? :)
I kinda always knew something was wrong with me since I never saw a normal period. My doctor, when I was a tween even mentioned PCOS as a possibility, but they refused to look into actually diagnosing it and treating it beyond throwing metformin at me. I even went to an OBGYN in my 20s trying to find out if I was even able to get pregnant or not, but was told to come back when I was actually TTC. Now I'm married and very much TTC and finally, I've been diagnosed with PCOS. Now I'm finding out that EVERYTHING that was EVER wrong with me medically is related! My weight! My horrible and debilitating anxiety! My depression! the ackee! facile hair! and a whole host of other things that they could have been treating before now! I just wanna say! I think it's REALLY messed up that when a women walks into an OBGYN and basically says, "Hey! Everything is working perfectly with my body! I ovulate every month regularly, and my period comes just fine! Could you like, brake it, please?" and BOOMB she walks out with birth control! But when someone like me presents herself actually wanting and needing real treatment to fix something we SHOULD be able to fix by now! She's told to leave with no help! BTW, I wasn't diagnosed by an OBGYN! I was diagnosed by a general family doctor that just has a personal interest in women with infertility. Personally, I think OBGYNs are all just quacks! All they know how to do is brake fertility or go around it.
yay found your channel through this video and I can so relate! Am a health coach with PCOS and feeling called to document my ttc journey. Thanks for making this, it empowers me for my recording too!
I knew I had PCOS long before my official diagnosis. The acne and body hair were dead giveaways. I always had regular periods and have not been on birth control for at least 10 years but for some reason, my husband and I have not been able to conceive. They found many follicles in my ovaries. Uterus was perfectly clear and endometrium was normal. I had to wait a year to find out from a doctor what I already knew. PCOS sucks but I felt the same exact way you did. Ellie and Jared's story came to my mind and gave me a sense of hope. Thank you for sharing your journey and I really hope you get your BFP soon!
So frustrating! Glad you finally got a diagnosis!
Did you get pregnant if you don't mind me asking
Don't give up it will happen then you'll ever come back on UA-cam and we going to hear it okay cuz it can happen you did great I'm proud of you don't give up
I'm 20 and been trying for a while before I found out I have PCOS... Consultations after consultations to try and fall pregnant.. Hopefully I will conceive soon.. thank you for posting this video x
My sister had PCOS to. It left her infertile. I am sure a lot of women here are facing the same issue. That's why I am sharing this with you. Don't be upset. You can't let this disease ruin your life. Always remember that you have the option of Surrogacy. Things will be fine for you.
Thank you for sharing! I have PCOS and am struggling with infertility as we speak. Might be trying the fertility meds next month so thanks for the heads up on the side effects!
Good luck!
I know this video is a year old now but I can relate so much to it. Me and my fiancé have been ttc for over a year and a half and yesterday I found out that I actually have PCOS ! For someone like me who has been ttc for so long already this is heartbreaking news. It gives me relief for the most part because I now know why I’m struggling to get pregnant but on the other hand I now have something wrong with me and wanting kids so bad makes me worry I won’t ever have them. I’m now on a journey to start different treatments to help me ovulate and in the hopes that we conceive soon. I’ve enjoyed listening to your story and I hope it helps people like me. 💙
Good luck! 🤞🏼it will happen for you! ❤️
Thank you it means a lot x
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm so glad you shared I'm in the same boat as you and viewing UA-cam videos to pretty much find hope in my situation and know that it'll be okay and watching these wonderful videos does give me hope and clams me to know that it'll work out for us as well. I know exactly what you mean by think it's easy to get pregnant had 5 girls in our high school pregnant in grade 11 and the teachers talk to us all more seriously about how easy it is and then I find out it's not easy atleast for me I've had pcos since I was about 14 diagnosed at about 18 year with external ultra sound and I love Ellie and jared watching them has given me so much hope. We are trying now had 2 miscarrages but hoping and praying for a miracle:-)
You are such a beautiful person inside and out
New sub! I have pcos as well and am restarting my TTC journey in a few months here. Can’t wait to catch up on your channel 😊

Thank you for sharing so much love ❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry Britt about your infertility story and undergoing PCOS. There are certain changes that one needs to make to one's lifestyle, apart from taking medication, in order to get pregnant. Firstly, one must follow a healthy diet. I was told this by my doctor in Bio tex clinic and it did work for me. Women suffering from PCOS should not eat too many carbohydrates and proteins. Instead, they should eat a diet rich in seafood, nuts, eggs and chicken. This will help build stamina and enable one to lose weight. If a woman is overweight, it is important that she make an effort to lose the excess weight. There are certain natural remedies, which help in treating PCOS. Ginseng and the Chaste tree normalizes the functions of the hormonal glands, which produce progesterone. Women with PCOS can contract gestational diabetes, suffer from a miscarriage, pre-term birth and may have to undergo a C-section delivery. If a woman with PCOS gets pregnant, it is important for her to work with her health care provider to ensure that she has a healthy pregnancy and a smooth delivery.
It makes me sad that your doctor didn’t help more with your pcos. It’s a condition we are born with, and given that it’s a metabolic disorder, there are so many ways through diet and lifestyle changes that you can improve or get rid of symptoms and manage this naturally for the rest of your life. The best (in my experience) is to follow pcos focused nutritionists - they share the most valuable content and action plans. Even my endocrinologist only ever pushes pills. Once you have your blood work (full hormone panel) usually you can see what is driving your pcos symptoms and work from there. It’s a slow process, but consistency really makes a difference
Thanks for sharing! Crazy that it took so long for them to diagnose! Which birth control pill were you on when your skin was staying clear? Also how is it so clear in the video if not on the pill?
MC
I was on a number of brands of the pill and then NuvaRing over the years - all of them helped! My skin is much better now, but still a lot different than it used to be. I almost always have some sort of breakout and a lot of scarring, but I saw a dermatologist and finally found some products that really helped me. I'm planning to film a skin care routine soon. I also have on a lot of makeup when I'm filming haha and pretty high coverage foundation :)
I have pcos also 😒
I went three years without a period after coming off the pill. Now i have thyroid problems not sure if it was caused by all my hormones being out of whack or what.
This is why birth control is one of the worst things for ladies with PCOS (most of the time)
Birth control is a quick fix for a much, MUCH more serious issue.
Thank you for sharing your story

What did you do to cope with the acne when it came back?
Heyy i have a question ? Is this normal to get more facial hair during pregnancy ? As i know with pcos we have to deal with hair growth ,but idk is this normal to get more than before , i am really worried about it can you please help me with this
Do you experience thinning hair or hair loss on your head? I have PCOS and it's causing me to have a wide hairline :( I'm 17 and this is a huge blow to my self esteem. Do you know if there's anything I can do to treat it?
I’ve definitely experienced my hair falling out/breaking off. As far as treating it, chat with your dr ☺️ Mine was never bad enough to seek treatment
i thank you for making this video
Thanks for sharing your story. you are right it is an important story to share and many feel it is taboo. so many of my friends have similar stories.

Who doesn't want to listen to the laughter of baby in their home? Every couple wants to be parents. But today’s lifestyle, improper eating habits, hectic schedule and genetic factors cause a case of infertility in some couples. Herbs are very beneficial to resolve infertility naturally without causing any negative impact on health. Shatavari Capsules of Planet Ayurveda provide great effects.
