You CAN Fall Pregnant With PCOS - Karina's Story
We were trying to conceive for about 9 months before I started the Bump program.
I had read about pre-conception health and own several books on the subject. Both my partner and I had a clean diet (no coffee, no alcohol and avoiding refined foods) for a few months. I finally decided to sign up for the Bump program, as I needed help - we were getting annoyed having such clean diets and nothing happening! My cycle has never been regular so it was very difficult to figure out when I was ovulating.
In Oct 2009, I started with the Bump program, and after Narelle recommended I have further testing done for PCOS. I had an ultrasound of my ovaries and it showed up that I have polycystic ovaries (lots more follicles on the ovary than normal). I walked out of there depressed, even though I had results and now could target this problem, I thought "well it may take years for me to fall pregnant, if at all".
The GP recommended we see a Fertility Specialist (who was booked out for 3 months in advance - no wonder, if all are told "there is nothing else you can do" - to which I thought; no that's not true!! I mentioned I was on a program by my naturopath, but she just ignored this)
I forwarded my results to the Bump team and they straight away dispensed a herbal tonic to target my condition and help balance my hormones.
We went on holidays in February and my friends were asking me how our baby making was going, I moaned "Oh, my cycle is late again, my boobs are so sore, I just need to get regular so I can fall pregnant" Little did I know I was already pregnant (since beginning of March) and we only did a pregnancy test when we returned home beginning of April! I did about 4 tests in a row - I couldn't believe it was real! The hardest part was not telling our family and friends for 12 weeks; only the GP, the Bump team and my yoga teacher knew. We decided to wait the 12 weeks, as we were not sure if I would miscarry. But all was good!
I stuck to the Bump program throughout pregnancy and had a very good pregnancy, worked full-time up until 3 weeks before the due date. I only had morning sickness (more like all day nausea- if I didn't keep snacking on something) for 3 weeks, I did get swelling of ankles and fingers in my last month, which is very common.
My daughter Sophia is now one year old and a happy, very curious and strong little girl! I am still breastfeeding and still on the Bump nutritional program, although I have strayed from my life giving food tables a bit!
I have recommended Bump Fertility to all my friends who are having trouble conceiving or are experiencing weight/hormone issues!
Here I was eating steamed broccoli, brown rice and pomegranate thinking I was eating healthy - but according to my hormonal profile I should avoid broccoli and its family.
So, do yourself a favor and sign up with Bump Fertility, who knows maybe you too can leave broccoli out of your diet for a legitimate reason!
