Summer, those statistics are just heart-breaking, aren't they? It scares me half to death that we are going to spend so much money and go through so much just to get pregnant, and then with the PCOS there's a chance I might not keep it, add to that the increased risks that may be associated with my mystery arthritis type thing... It's scary! But the one big thing I have learned is that we need to stay positive and don't dwell on the numbers. Those stats are one of the reasons it's so important to try to keep hormones balanced - not only to help conception, but also to help our bodies hold on to those bubs!
I know it's a dark and scary place you are in right now, but we are here to help you through. That's not to say I'm completely out of the dark and scary place myself, but you've got to focus on the positives. I can't tell you how many women I know with PCOS who have beat this condition and have healthy bubs. Some of them aren't bubs any more either! One of my strongest supporters is my aunt who did the PCOS and AC thing over 20 years ago - I have two adult cousins now to prove that it can be beaten! Just remember that all the battles we have to fight simply mean that our children will be so cherished and valued when they do get here (and they will get here, for all of us!). This fight is going to make us better, stronger parents.
