My journey to motherhood was non traditional, as was our journey to parenthood. For a long time we didn’t know if we’d be parents or conceive naturally. We spent over a year dealing with infertility. I spent my teen years and early 20’s dealing with irregular cycles. It wasn’t until we were trying for over seven months that my OBGYN finally diagnosed me with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) I finally had some answers and a way to move forward.

Today’s episode is deeply personal, as I never have really sat down and have shared our story with many people. At the time when we were going through this we didn’t know anyone else who was dealing with similar issues, it felt very isolating and I felt very shameful.

I pray this episode is both encouraging and helpful. If you’re struggling today, I encourage you to share your story. Don’t believe the lie that it doesn’t matter. It so does.
