A Happy Mother of Two Despite PCOS, Thanks to OvulaRing
For eight years, Nicole tried to get pregnant—without success. Today, she tells us how she finally succeeded.
Nicole's Testimonial
Nicole had been hoping for the child she longed for for eight years—during which time she was not only diagnosed with PCOS but also told that getting pregnant naturally was “almost impossible.” In her testimonial, she shares the treatments she went through, why OvulaRing gave her back her peace of mind and sense of control, and how she eventually became pregnant not just once, but twice—today she is the happy mother of two.
Interview Q&A
-
Could you please tell us your personal story? Why didn’t it work out right away?
-
At the fertility clinic, they performed the PCOS “We were diagnosed and found out that my husband has poor sperm quality. Because of this combination, we were told that it is almost impossible to conceive naturally and that ICSI is our only option.”
-
What did you try before you discovered OvulaRing?
-
Before OvulaRing, I had already gone through two cycles of hormone treatment—complete with hot flashes, weight gain, and mood swings. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through all that again for a third round. Stress I would have had to go through that all over again, but I simply didn’t have the strength for it. We then tried less invasive hormone therapies, without artificial insemination, though they came with similar side effects.
-
So what has changed for you since you started using OvulaRing?
-
Above all, OvulaRing has given me back a sense of calm, relaxation, and control throughout this whole nerve-wracking process. Before, I was told that I probably wasn’t ovulating at all. How was I supposed to get pregnant? Fortunately, that turned out to be a mistake.
-
What did you notice during your cycles?
-
By tracking my cycle with OvulaRing, I was able to see for myself that I definitely had a ovulation and even figure out exactly when. That restored my confidence in my body; I was able to take a step back and approach the whole thing more calmly, which is really important. Nothing is worse than stress when you’re get pregnant …and yet, especially when it comes to artificial insemination, you’re putting yourself under the most intense stress.
-
So what happened next for you?
-
In 2016 (after 8 years), it finally happened—I was pregnant with my first daughter. Thanks to OvulaRing, I knew that I ovulated on the 50th day of my cycle, which later helped me calculate the due date accurately.
-
What advice would you give to other women in a similar situation?
-
To be honest, I don’t know what we would have tried next if the OvulaRing hadn’t worked out. In any case, I can’t recommend period tracking apps. At least not for women like me, who just can’t seem to get pregnant right away.
Und als wäre das nicht schon wundervoll genug: Zwei Jahre später warst du nach drei neu aufgezeichneten OvulaRing Zyklen und einem Eisprung am 36. Zyklustag wieder schwanger. Eure zweite Tochter kam im August 2018 zur Welt – und du bist heute dank OvulaRing glückliche Zweifachmama, trotz PCOS.
Liebe Nicole, vielen Dank, dass du so offen über euren langen Weg, die Diagnose und deine Erfahrungen mit OvulaRing gesprochen hast. Wir wünschen dir und deiner Familie von Herzen alles Liebe und weiterhin viel Glück!
