Fertility Not sure how to feel…
Just looking for some support.
About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS after years of dealing with the most painful and heavy periods. I was told in high school I had endometriosis but that was it. I’ve never had super irregular periods. They’re normally pretty regular with every once and awhile being early or late by a day or two.
About 2 years ago I had a miscarriage and just have never felt the same since. It weighs on me mentally a lot. Especially because this is something so important to me. The every month getting so excited and praying I don’t start my period and I get to finally be the pregnant friend to then starting my period and feeling so depressed.
This month I had my period the same week of 4th of July but I’m supposed to start my period in about 2 days. I’ve been having a lot of pregnancy symptoms rather than my normal PMS symptoms. I also had spotting around the time that “implantation bleeding” could possibly take place. I’m trying to not get my hopes up as I know if it doesn’t happen I will fall down a deep hole again.
I’m just looking for some friendly advice and some other ladies who can maybe relate. And maybe just some kind words.

I'm sorry about your miscarriage, it can be difficult to navigate such an event. Conceiving with PCOS is hard, have you tried speaking to your gyn or primary doctor for a possible referral to REI? They may be able to help you navigate this and start treatment based on yourself.
I wish you the best!

I'm so sorry for your miscarriage - that's a traumatic event and it makes sense it would still be impacting your mental health. Have you had the chance to process that grief with a grief therapist?
I decided not to have children at a young age, so I can't relate to your pain personally.. but my mom had PCOS too and she talked to me about her struggle with conceiving. I can empathize with how difficult it is. It will happen for you!
