Gabriel’s story

At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome also known as PCOS. I quickly learned that it would more than likely be difficult for me to have children due to this syndrome which made super anxious about the future. During my early to mid 20’s I tried to have a baby without success over and over again. Eventually, for my own mental health I decided that if I became pregnant I would of course be grateful, but if I didn’t, I would try not to dwell on it in order to continue living my life to the fullest. Baby fever is very real though. It was so difficult at times to not feel overwhelming sad that I was not pregnant or had a child of my own already through the last 4 years of my 20’s but I was hopeful that could still have a chance to become a mom in my 30’s.
