There is hope!!!
by: Zoe on Tue, Nov 13 2007

Hello
I want to share my joy with anyone who finds themself in the same situation as me.
I was diagnosed as having Polycystic Ovary Syndrome when I was 24 years old, I am now 38.
For several years I tried practically every form of fertility drug and treatment which existed in an attempt to found a family. Unfortunately, nothing worked.

Every doctor I saw came to the same conclusion: I was never going to have a child.
8 years ago I decided to change my life. I emigrated from England to France, completely changed my lifestyle and gave up hope of ever having my own family.

At 34 years of age, I discovered I was pregnant: just like that, out of the blue… I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl, after a very long difficult pregnancy.
I counted my blessings, considered my daughter as a miracle….and still do…she is now almost 3 and a half years old.

Last year I discovered I was pregnant again, and in January this year, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, who is now 9 months old.
Guess what?? I’ve just discovered that I am pregnant again!

I will be 39 years old when this one is born!! But I am so happy: for someone who was evidently never meant to have children, I’m not doing too badly.

I hope my story will give hope to everyone else out ther who finds themselves in the same position as I was, all those years ago…. THERE IS HOPE!!
