PCOS, Fertility and Pregnancy: My Story with Its Laura Kate

My Journey Living with PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome is among the most common hormonal conditions in women, yet many of us still feel isolated by it. Irregular periods, trouble conceiving, tiredness and low mood can all feature – and I’ve been through each one.

In these posts I share my honest experience of trying to conceive with PCOS, the nutrition and lifestyle changes that made a difference for me, and the highs and lows of the pregnancy that followed. I write them hoping they offer comfort, ideas and, most of all, hope to anyone walking a similar road.

All of this comes from my own personal experience and is not a replacement for medical advice. Please talk to your GP, midwife or a fertility specialist about your own circumstances.
