Infertility and PCOS

I have polycystic ovary syndrome and it sucks! Between the irregular cycles, inability to lose weight, thinning hair, excessive dandruff, increased facial, and then the infertility as the cherry on top, PCOS is kicking my butt. PCOS is kicking a lot of women's butts. There is no cure for it though there are many things that helps some women deal with some of the symptoms, which, by the way are, are also different for every woman. For example, I technically have a very mild case judging by my hormone levels and relatively mild symptoms, but I deal with infertility due to lack of ovulation. Some woman, on the other hand, have no problem getting pregnant, but experience insulin resistance, severe weight gain, and major body hair growth.

Below are some scripture verses which I have found encouraging throughout the years that we have been trying to conceive and/or adopt. Clinging to God's word and the hope I have in Him has helped me through this time. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions, encouragement, or concerns!
