Two Pink Lines – Its Laura Kate’s First Positive Test Ever

I’d taken more pregnancy tests than I can count. Living with PCOS meant irregular cycles, endless guessing and that familiar sinking feeling every time a single line appeared. So when I saw two pink lines for the very first time, I genuinely thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

The Road to Two Pink Lines for Its Laura Kate

Polycystic ovary syndrome affects many women, and for me it meant unpredictable periods, ovulation that rarely seemed to happen and a lot of frustration. I’d been told it might take time, and that maybe I’d need help to conceive.

Instead of feeling powerless, I decided to focus on what I could change. As a nutritional therapist, I knew how closely food, blood sugar and hormones are linked, so I started there.

The changes I made

• Balanced plates: protein, healthy fats and fibre at every meal to help keep blood sugar steady.
• Whole foods first: cutting back on ultra-processed snacks and cooking more from scratch.
• Gentle, regular movement: walking and gardening rather than punishing workouts.
• Sleep and stress: earlier nights and saying no a little more often.
• Patience: giving my body months, not weeks, to respond.

The moment everything changed

My cycle had been a little more regular, and when my period was late I didn’t let myself hope. I tested early one morning, set the test on the side and made a cup of tea. When I came back, there they were – two lines. Faint, but definitely there.

I cried, laughed, took a photo and then took two more tests. Telling my husband was one of the happiest moments of my life.

To anyone still waiting for their two pink lines: your journey is valid, and there is hope.

PCOS is different for everyone, and what worked for me may not be the whole answer for you. But I truly believe that nourishing your body, being gentle with yourself and getting the right support can make a real difference.
