Episode 107: My Fertility Journey - PCOS, Trying to Conceive, and Pregnancy Loss

In this episode, I dive deep into my battle with PCOS, starting from my early twenties while in nursing school. I recount the frustrating journey of identifying symptoms like weight gain, oily skin, hair loss, and irregular periods, and the emotional toll of navigating the medical system with multiple unhelpful endocrinologists.

At age 30, I took proactive steps by visiting Kindbody, a concierge fertility center, to assess my fertility, anticipating potential challenges with conceiving due to my PCOS diagnosis. My journey didn't end there; I delve into managing severe periods, exploring various forms of birth control, the challenges faced after stopping it, and the significant lifestyle changes I made to improve my metabolic health and fertility.
