Here is my story on PCOS. I have know for about 7 weeks and I just wanted to share my story and provide support for other ladies who are going through the ...
Dear Infertile People. I don't get it with people who are infertile yet
insist on having biological children. Adoption is an option. The only
reason someone infertile wants a biological child is because they're
selfish in which case it's okay they're infertile.
+Harold Finch I am sorry that you think that. I would love to adopt and have nothing against it. I have close family that are adopted, my husband has intermediate family that was adopted and my best friend was adopted. PCOS is just being infertile, it can cause a multitude of health issues that can lead to serious things such as cervical cancer if you are not taking control of your health. I would love to have children biologically but I would never hesitate to adopt. It is very bold of you to assume that I am not in the process of adoption/becoming a foster parent. I hope that you take some time to think about how there are many different ways to build a family and none of them are "selfish" or wrong. You are right, adoption is an option, and a great one, but so is taking control of your health and seeing what your body is capable of!
This is the first video of yours I have watched- your room is so pretty &
so are you! You are rockin' that pink lipstick! I love it!! I have had
issues with my period over the last 5 years- my husband and I aren't

easy when we start. Thanks for sharing this information- and I wish you the
absolute best in your journey! Your positive attitude is contagious!

Love to see other young women trying to conceive. I'm 19 and and my husband
is 21. Been together for five years and married for 1. I also have PCOS.
Can't wait for more videos and following your journey! Lots of baby dust to

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! I wish you and your husband the best of luck, my husband and I are young as well so I definitely understand some of the struggles that come with that!
Loved watching your video and looking forward to following your journey! I
too am a newbie to the youtube world :) I have PCOS also and myself and my
partner have been ttc baby no.2 for 3 years now. I have had a year of
fertility treatment including clomid and the HSG, please subscribe to my
new channel and feel free to ask any questions; lots of baby dust xx
I totally get how you feel when it comes to finding out news like that b/c
a few months ago I founded out both my tubes are block & on my channel I
talk about what helped me get through the emotion of having fertility
issues. My channel name is Syleste Lackey
Looking forward to following your journey! I have PCOS as well and we are
in the process of TTC baby #2. I've been through all the fertility testing
at TTC process before, so if you have questions or anything feel free to
ask! I also have videos all about my journey as well. Love your positive
outlook!

TTC for 2yrs w/ PCOS & Infertility
OPEN ME!! :D WATCH IN HD looks so much prettier! ;D ALL OF MY VIDEOS ARE ORGANIZED BY CATEGORIES IN THE "PLAYLISTS" TAB :)) I have zero ...
Felicia - you are absolutely the sweetest. I wish I could give you a big
hug. (don't be scared though, I promise, I'm not a stalker) Good grief like
you need to worry about this old lady from YT stalking you in the midst of
everything else! LOL right? ;) no offense okay? but if I was going to
stalk - I think I would pick Bono! (Just teasing just teasing) (I thought
I'd better say that in case good ol Bono is stalking me! Heck I've loved
him and U2 since I'm like 20 years old - who knows right? Okay - enuf about
me...here is why I initially came on here to leave you a comment...
My younger sister also went thru all the fertility treatments honey and I
swear listening to you is just like hearing her stories. (I also was close
to 3 other young women who went thru the process too) But my sister was the
one I can say she really shared everything with me. Anyway, the mood
swings...ohhhHHHh boy ... she didn't even HAVE to tell me about the swings
cos girl...I was seeing them...heck, I was getting a little piece of them
;) She's always been a lil bitchy (I can say that about my sister...right?
I mean...she has probably said hecka worse about me! LOL) but oh yeah -
mood swings. More on that in a second.
She also had headaches so bad she would have dark circles under her eyes :(
and she said like one minute she would be sweating and the next, freezing
:( Even though, I called her bitchy, I adore her and we are super doOOooper
close ;)
I know she always felt comfortable talking to me and believe me. she and I
had many conversations where she would tell me she just felt horrible for
some of the thoughts running thru her head at that time. Like...there are
so many other things so much worse or being jealous because some people
could get pregnant so easily and they didn't even want babies...she...like
you...is so sweet and usually never says a bad thing about anyone or
anything. (gosh this is long - YT is probably going to kick me off for such
long comments but that's what they get for changing things ;)
Here is why I wanted to share this with you - for one, I hope it helps...I
really do. But also, don't beat yourself up honey. What I told my sister
when she was on the treatments ... besides the medication throwing your
entire body out of whack ... having a baby is so so so sooooooooo important
for some of us. This is such a tender, vulnerable place you are in. You are
totally (Like I'm in charge of things and can say this) but you are totally
allowed to be upset ... I would think anyone would be. I wish you wouldn't
apologize for having negative things in your vlogs...or not being able to
vlog...I think you are just a remarkable young woman for having the courage
to get on here and speak so intimately about your challenges. Do you know
how much this is going to help someone? My gosh, I SO wish we would have
had YT when I was younger (remember, I'm old as dirt ;) 54 ... there were
so many things I went thru when I was younger and I was certain that I was
the only person in the world with that problem. So - to have had someone
like you to speak out on a subject ... I would imagine would have really
changed things. I just know your sharing is going to help a lot of people
going thru this. I have to tell you this one thing - now "I" thought it was
hilarious - you may not. But once my brother in law had to take a
"specimen" to a different location .. they had to carry his sperm in some
kind of container - when they get in the car, he looks at my sister and
says "Hey, you wanna stop and get the kids some ice cream on the way?" OMG
... I thought I would die laughing ... That may be one of those "you got to
be there" moments though ;)
If you need to talk or you have a question that I could help you with -
gosh please feel free to message me. Geezel petes I only wish there was
something I could do for you so talk, words, asking a question for you,
would not be a problem at all. If I don't know the answer I can ask my
sister for you. In fact, you can delete this long comment after your done
reading - I won't be offended at all.
I won't say the traditional stuff..you know the "keep your head up" "I know
you'll have kids" blah blah - my sister told me once (well probably more
like 30 times) that everytime someone said that she wanted to just crack
them in the head with her cellphone - and back then, cell phones were a lot
heavier than they are now! The Apple phone had NOTHING on the Nikoa (I
think that's the name of them) LOL But they weighed like 121 lbs (we're
going back about 10-11 years) :)
btw...my sister isn't a mean person ... she says "it was the meds" that
made her want to crack someone with her phone! LOL But listen, truth is,
she cracked me in the head with a hairbrush when she was like 3 and she
wasn't on clomid THEN! ;) Again - just a little humor :) God bless honey
and you guys are in my prayers (I feel the need to duck as I say that)
XOXO Vicki
I relate to you totally. At least you can move on to each round of clomid,
I developed cysts and now have to wait for them to go away. :/ but
seriously though my husband is a firefighter so I spend many days and
nights alone with only the thoughts in my head. I also relate to the
instagram thing, I try to go days without checking it and definitely don't
go on when I'm feeling down . But yeah, I thought my first round would be
it. I reacted well and produced eggs and we did everything we could but we
have to realize that it only makes you produce eggs it does not work
miracles with getting the sperm to fertilize the egg! In fact- although it
gets you to produce an egg it at the same time is making your CM change and
become hostile to sperm. :/ I might do one more round and then go to IVF.
I'm supposed to talk to my husband's Co worker whose wife went thru it.
$20,000 but she got pregnant first cycle with IVF. I wish insurance covered
it...at least for people like us with PCOS an actual medical problem.
Anyway I'm going off on on a tangent but I appreciate your posts. I don't
know anyone else in my life right now going thru this. And you have cats an
atone do I have 3 so that makes it even better :) good luck with round 3.
Remember, all it takes is 1 time!
I know what you mean when you say there are so many people who have it
worse or so many worse things going on in the world but honestly don't let
that take away from what you are going through. You are still struggling
and it is okay to be upset. Just because someone else may have it worse
than you doesn't mean that your personal struggles are insignificant. You
go through SO much with all of this. It takes a lot out of a person and I
think that if you need to have a few sad days once in a while, you should
take that time for yourself and do it. I also agree with you when you say
that friends and family who aren't going through this don't understand how
painful it is. I am so grateful for this community of women and couples
on youtube. I don't know what I would do without it. I'm so sorry that you
didn't conceive this cycle. We didn't either. :( FIngers crossed for both
of us this cycle!
So sorry this cycle didn't take. I have had a really rough couple of weeks
recently. Everything you described has been me, EXACTLY what I've been
going through. The mood swings are insane. My husband and I have been
trying for 4 years now. We are starting acupuncture again this Friday. It's
been the only time I have ever been pregnant before unfortunately we
miscarried. Silver lining when we tried Chinese med/acupuncture we got
pregnant without any fertility meds. Might be something to consider it
really helps stimulate our reproductive organs with the PCOs. Baby dust to
you!
First, congrats! I've just found your channel and I see you guys are
pregnant. Last year me and my hubby tried 2 rounds of clomid and I didn't
respond at all. I have pcos too. My Dr said there was prob no reason for us
to spend money trying again with clomid. Our insurance doesn't cover any
fertility treatment so we pay out of pocket. I was emotionally broken and
decided to stop for a while. I'm ready to begin again and plan to start in
august. I'll be doing injectable meds and an IUI. How was that experience
for you? I'm really scared. Was it painful?
Praying for you girl! I'm not going to say I know what your going through
because I don't have PCOS, but I will say that everything is going to be
okay. Everything happens for a reason and I strongly believe that! It took
me a few months to get pregnant and I know seeing that negative is
devastating. But I can just tell, once you get that BFP your are going to
be ecstatic. You are going to make a great mother. I'll pray for your
strength to get through this long process! Don't get discouraged!
I do hope that you will have the baby you so want. it took me close to 7
years to finally have my first child. I was the first child in the family
to get married yet everyone else had babies or were pregnant but me. We
moved out of state because I was so depressed about being childless. I just
have a feeling you are not going to have to wait as long as I did. wishing
you the best for a successful TTC journey
this video helps im going through the procedures of finding out if i have
pcos me and my husband have been worrying about being infertile since i
always miss almost 3 months of my period and its scary to think i may not
be able to have kids but seeing this video makes me feel not alone and
informed
Sweetie i feel for so bad. I have been dealing with this too for 5 years. I
agree with you on how you feel. I am here if you want to talk. I can relate
to you. Hang in there you have family and friends plus a very loving
supporting husband who loves you no matter what.. love you girl stay
strong..
Just found your channel again. That makes me sad. I pray you conceive. One
of my friends tried to conceive with pcos for over 3 years. Well she is now
over a month pregnant and didn't know about it due to her pcos. There is
still hope just don't give up on it even though you want to.
I know exactly how you feel! I was diagnosed with PCOS after months of ttc,
no luck yet but I have decided to also start making videos about this
journey in hopes that one day I can look back on how far I have come. I
love your videos and I am praying for you!!!!
I want to share some videos with you that I hope will encourage /help you
and I will be saying a prayer for you and your husband.

My mother found out she had PCOS when she was trying to have my little
brother which she did IVF, but she said that you should try acupuncture. My
fingers are crossed for you!!!!
Funny how we spend so much time trying to prevent pregnancy where others
are trying just as hard to make it happen... Keep it up. I can't wait to
