Updates on my ob appointment today..

“It didn’t go as planned, unfortunately. She won’t prescribe me letrozole or anything similar because she doesn’t think I’m infertile due to having regular cycles. I explained that I don’t experience symptoms like cervical mucus, etc. She asked me when I last had unprotected sex, and I said it was right after my dau...

Ladies, line up for a headache: one girl is pregnant and the other is faking it. She goes as far as faking the pregnancy, labor, delivery and medical complications of the newborn. And baby daddy issues. *link below

I don’t know if I have PCOS anymore

I’ve been told since the age of 12 I’ve had PCOS. Now I’m in my late 20’s, I’ve been to a homeopath who was suspicious I didn’t have PCOS.
