Hey friends! Today, I want to share a heartfelt journey that began with an unexpected twist—receiving a PCOS diagnosis that changed everything for me and my partner, Sarah.
It all started when I began to notice some irregularities in my cycle; I brushed them off at first. But after a few months, I decided it was time to see a doctor. The news came as a surprise: I had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). At first, I felt overwhelmed by the diagnosis, thinking about how it might affect our dreams of starting a family.
After doing some research (and some late-night scrolling through blogs), I discovered that many women with PCOS have successfully conceived. This gave me hope! We explored various options and decided to go for at-home insemination. Honestly, it felt incredibly simple and stress-free—just like we discussed in one of our other blog posts about at-home insemination. If you’re curious about the process, check it out here.
We also found an amazing resource that helped us understand the ins and outs of fertility treatments—definitely worth a look if you’re in the same boat! You can learn more about it here.
After a few attempts, we were overjoyed to discover that I was pregnant! The feeling was indescribable. Our little rainbow baby was on the way, and despite the challenges along the journey, the love and support we received made every moment worth it.

In a nutshell, what started as a daunting diagnosis turned into the most beautiful journey of our lives. Remember, every journey is unique, and it’s okay to seek support along the way.
