I'm so happy for you!! I have several friends who have tried for years and so I've witnessed their pain. One friend's fertility issue was due to thyroid problems and the other was due to PCOS.

Before I had my first child, I was told by a midwife, during my annual exam, that my blood work looked as though I might have PCOS and she told me I needed to lose weight and start trying to conceive as soon as possible. I was only 24 at the time and it really scared me. I began low carbing and went off of the pill immediately. Within one month, I was pregnant! We weren't even ready at that time because my husband was still in his graduate program. My midwife was so shocked but said that the low carb lifestyle has helped many women conceive when other measures have failed. I hope this is true in your case as well. Best wishes!
