When my biological clock started ticking, I had no idea how unpredictable my journey to motherhood would be
When I turned 38 in 2018, my biological clock started ticking. Loudly.But that all became background noise. All I heard was: Tick … tick … tick.
“But what about my missing periods,” I asked. She said not to worry. “Plenty of women would love to skip their period.” Unfortunately, before I could even ask about PCOS in my follow-up visit, the endocrinologist told me to lose weight and come back and see him in six months. He didn’t offer me any more information or even tips on losing weight with PCOS. Also, my insurance wouldn’t cover visits to a dietitian because I didn’t have diabetes.
I found little credible information online about PCOS during that time. I did, however, find the statistic that at least 1 in 10 people born with a uterus have PCOS. The enormity of this information was stunning. If there were so many of us out there, where was the evidence-based information? And if my healthcare team couldn’t help me, who could?
I assumed that getting pregnant may have taken a little time, but I had no idea how unpredictable my journey to motherhood would be.
