For many years before
meeting Lee all I dreamed and hoped for was to find my true love and
settle down and have a family. Whilst I tried to keep the faith and
believe that it would happen at the back of my mind was a lot of
doubt. Worry that I would not find someone to love and who would love
me for who I am in return. Fear that when I found my partner for life
that I would not be able to conceive.
My fear about not being
able to conceive stemmed from the fact that I was diagnosed with
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) when I was a teenager.
As PCOS can cause
fertility issues and infertility, when I met Lee and it was apparent
that we both wanted the same thing in life - to settle down and have
our own family - I decided to get conception advice from my GP and do
my upmost to be healthy to increase my chances of conceiving.
Alongside healthy eating and exercise part of my trying to conceive
plan was to take specially formulated pre-pregnancy vitamin
supplements.
