@erikacupcake, after you have your baby, it will take about a year for your cycle to regulate... but if you really focus on eating right, it should start to find it's way to a regular (for you) cycle... it may not be 28 days, but even if it's only every 2 months... that may just be how your body operates!

@booboosmommy, thank you 💕

@dreamermom, I never got back to a full natural cycle but before the I began the birth control in the first place I had a 2-3 month long cycle with a 2-week very heavy period, which was odd to say the least. 😂

Don't think there is one? @booboosmommy, who runs one? It would be good to announce. Thanks

@erikacupcake, see, you figured out the secret! If you focus on balancing your carbs and proteins (eat as if you are diabetic, but avoid 'diet' chemical filled foods), watch for added sugar in foods, limit/balance your desserts, you can totally regulate yourself! I have a 42-45 day cycle... so I was always confused thinking I was not 'regular' but I really am... my cycle is just longer than most... occasionally stress can affect it, but over the past few years, since I've really focused on what I put in my body, it has been really consistent!

@simmiebaby, Were there certain lifestyle changes you had made months prior to conceiving that you believe made a difference for you?

I really believe cutting down on all unhealthy sweets, eating healthier in general, starting my vitamins (a vegan prenatal, red raspberry leaf capsules, and calcium supplement), and stopping the hormonal assault on my ovaries caused by the birth control pills all really helped. I rarely took my birth control on general, but my Drs always insisted I take them to force myself to have a period. But about 5-6 months after changing my lifestyle, I found out I was pregnant. ✨

@booboosmommy, is there a way you could please invite me to it if you're apart of it? 😌

@dreamermom, Yes yes and yes! My grandparents are all diabetic, my father is diabetic, and I have always had ridiculous sweet tooth especially when I'm stressed. This pregnancy also snuck up on us and I really attribute it to the fact that I basically stopped eating sugary snacks and overindulging on desserts. I started taking a vegan prenatal bc I thought I must have some sort of vitamin deficiency. I also was taking red raspberry leaf tablets, as well as a calcium supplement. And surprise my period came and I told my fiancé that having a natural cycle was rare for me so if we aren't careful I might get pregnant. Two months later I find out and I thank God that he gave me my baby girl. Even if it wasn't expected, I always wanted to be a mother one day and have a big family and it was really depressing for me thinking that may not happen naturally. ✨

@erikacupcake, yeah the dumb ass OB I had, literally said to me at 16, well I'm pretty sure you have PCOS, so you won't ever have kids! 😳... just put it out there just like that... I later had an awesome doctor, who set me on a path to research for myself... started learning about insulin resistance, and how having PCOS is really a side affect of being insulin resistant... if you learn to balance your blood sugar, your body will regulate itself! I got pregnant without any interventions at all... this second pregnancy kinda snuck up on us! 😅 we had not 'officially' started trying yet! It just amazes me how many people are still walking around with outdated bad information! And how many OBGYN's are still being taught and spreading such bad information from medical school! It's really sad, how many women have had their joy robbed because of bad information... yes, it can be harder for a woman with PCOS to get pregnant... but it is TOTALLY possible if you are willing to make some lifestyle and dietary changes!

Same here @erikacupcake , I stopped pills and though it took me 3 years to conceive , it happened. Such a blessing!

@dreamermom, I was not diagnosed until I was 18. But I would have amenorrhea for a year at a time and the only thing that could bring my period back was birth control pills. I really wanted to stop the pills altogether many times b/c I wanted to allow my body to try to regulate itself. And Drs kept telling me I would not be able to get pregnant naturally.. I committed to stopping the pills, looked up some natural foods and vitamins that may help regulate and after about 5-6 months my cycle finally came back! And presently I am pregnant with my first child. But I was depressed for a while thinking wow there is really a chance I may never be able to have kids..

I have PCOS as well.

Check @mom.life_usa, page they have list of groups if there isn't you can always talk to them about creating one

I don't know if a group, but I've done a TON of research, was diagnosed at 16.
