Thank you for sharing your story. As someone who cant get pregnant it’s hard to hear that you aren’t able to have a baby. It sucks. I cannot wait to see you have a beautiful baby girl and become such an amazing mamma! You’re gonna be amazing! Sending you lots of love and good vibes for future pregnancies!

My daughter had five miscarriages. They stopped trying for a while. Then a year later went To a of fertility clinic. They did genetic testing all other testing. She went on medication. Then they did ultra sounds to see how many eggs she had. The one time she only had one egg. That’s the one she got pregnant with. I went with her to the ultra sound and saw him as a tiny dot. Sure enough he was their miracle baby. It wasn’t an easy pregnancy for her. Lots of complications. He was two months early and only three pounds. But he was a fighter. Took him about eight weeks to get to five pounds before he could come home. But he’s a healthy little five year old now. Sometimes all it takes is one egg and a lot of faith to have that baby.

I’m glad that PCOS is starting to get the attention it needs as there’s still a lot of unknowns in the medical field. I was diagnosed a few years back, but I only recently learned a lot more about it when I found a new gyno. The only caveats I wish was said in the video is that PCOS is still very new in the medical field and that the symptoms and severity differ from woman to woman.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story Brynley! One of my favorite Arnold Sister vlogs!

Thank you for sharing your story! I recently had surgery for severe endometriosis. I had symptoms for a long time like you that I ignored. I think the tough, high pain tolerance dancer in me got used to ignoring pain. I agree we need to bring more awareness to women's health. ❤️

SOOOO happy for you!! Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this!!!! I'm an Endometriosis girl who had rupturing ovarian cysts the sizes of babies heads (and all that caused me to have to remove all my reproductive organs as they were too far damaged). While I did not specifically have PCOS, it always means the world to me to hear someone bringing awareness to womens' health struggles. Again, I am soooo happy for you, Brynley! You and Donny will be such marvelous parents! (P.S. For more info on birth control, I recommend reading "Beyond the Pill" by Dr. Jolene Brighten!)

Thank you for sharing! Don’t ever feel like because your story wasn’t “as hard” as someone else’s that your feelings aren’t real or valid. As someone who also tried for a year it can feel SO long!!

Brynley your kind of face deserves to be on tv or the big screen..you’re genuinely gorgeous.

Thank you Brynley for your honesty. This is the best video. I’m sure I’ll watch it a dozen times. Sincerely thank you. 😭

Brynley, thank you for sharing your story. I thankful I am not the only one who has PCOS. I was diagnosed at the age of 15, and have been on my hormone birth control which has made a huge difference. Your story also lets me know that I can still have a baby when I get older even with PCOS. I always afraid that PCOS would not let me have kids but listening to your story really helps me look into my future. Even though I am the only one of my friends that have PCOS j am thankful I can share my journey with other people.

Thank you for sharing. I have pcos and endometriosis, so I struggle with infertility. I have had two surgeries in hopes of becoming pregnant but nothing. It's heart breaking to accept that I may never be a mother but it has gotten easier over the years. I'm beyond excited that you were able to get pregnant. I can't wait see your baby girl 💗 you will be an amazing mother!

I have pcos as well and don’t ovulate. My amh was 13 which was off the charts. My progesterone was 0.4 which showed I wasn’t ovulating. And I have hypothyroidism so they put me on a med for that. I’m on my second round of femara and provera. I knew I had pcos because of my irregular cycles, hormone issues. My husband and I have been trying for one year already. We went to obgyn in October of 2021 and finally in February got to start the meds. I got pregnant in March but implanted super late and had a chemical at 5 weeks. Now I’m on my 2nd round and will hopefully get pregnant this month! I can find out in a couple days. It’s definitely a very hard journey when you don’t know if you’ll ever get pregnant. Everyone around me is pregnant but me. But I’m holding onto hope. 💛

You're such a warrior !!! Im glad that you felt safe sharing and i know that your baby girl is a miracle!!! Hope she comes healthy and that God helps you and Donny in this journey! Sending love all the way from Brasil! 🇧🇷🙏🏻💚

Thank you it’s so reassuring to see someone struggle with the same issue and get through the journey with a baby! I’m so thankful for this video!

Brynly thanks for sharing you story . I know your baby girl is going to be beautiful like her Mom ! I think it’s wonderful how you are trying to help other couples having problems conceiving .

I have pcos I was diagnosed when I was 18 and I also found out I had hasimotos. It great to know there is others out there and I’m not alone. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on PCOS. I also have it and struggled to get pregnant not knowing that diagnosis. We struggled for 3 years with infertility and completely understand the trying every month and the emotional roller coaster that is. Praying for you your hubby and your baby girl. You are glowing!

This is an amazing topic. I have struggled for years with PCOS. We really struggled years with infertility. We did finally have a son. Several miscarriages. The side effects of PCOS are not fun either. Thank you for your candid sharing of your experiences. So very happy for you and Donny and baby girl. Praying all continues to go well in your favor. You deserve this bundle of joy!

First of all thank you for making this video. I feel like pcos is not talked about as much as it should. I remember first getting my diagnosis being so confused as to what that would mean. Its important to try to find as many answers as one can. I'm really happy for you and your husband. I wish you all the best on this new journey into motherhood

I’m sorry to hear you had to deal with so much Brynley, what a miracle that you have been blessed with!! God is so good. Thank you for the encouragement/reminder, that when its the perfect time it will happen, I totally believe that too and that is why I still hope to become a mom one day, after waiting for 14 years. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story

Aww miracle baby. Thanks for sharing and opening up.

I deal with some mental health stuff, so not the same topic. I know the "it could be this, or it could be that". But what I've always thought about diagnoses is that I don't care about what the diagnosis is as long as the treatment can be effective. It doesn't help the current situation and emotions but it does provide a path forward and you're a step closer to figuring it out. Sometimes the hardest step. Knowing what's wrong can provide solutions and bring some relief to the situation. Congrats on the pregnancy. She's your Christmas miracle. I know it's a journey forward but I like your attitude and how you deal with things.

I’m so glad you are sharing this! I suffer from pcos and I feel nobody understands!! Thank you again!!!

Thank you so very much for sharing such a personal & sensitive story. I was in tears with your entire process. I too experienced secondary infertility. We tried for 7 years to get pregnant with our 2nd baby. Sex felt like a second job just to make sure the timing was exact. I ended up having multiple surgeries to figure out my problem. I was having surgery every 3 months having cysts removed. I wish you were around 33 years ago. God Bless you and your new little family to be. You are very brave and so very very thoughtful 😊. Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you for sharing!!! You are such an inspiration and light!!!! I’m so glad you are feeling better!! You are glowing!!

Babies are a true miracle and a blessing from God. So happy for you both. 💓

Thank you for this video. It was so informative and supportive to ones that suffer from this. Your baby is a real miracle. God Bless you and your family. 💜

Thank you for sharing your story Brynley💛 this means so much to bring awareness to PCOS and give other women hope, you are the best and thank you for always being so honest and real!! ❤️

Thank you for sharing this video!! I was actually diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 5. My older sister also has it. I started on metformin when I was 5 and my sister when she was 7. It has definitely been difficult. It has messed with both of our confidence. We have the extra testosterone which is not fun at all. 😔 we have also both had weight gain from it as well as extra hair growth on our face. I try to workout 4 times a week and that seems to help me. Also with PCOS we have an insulin resistance so we cannot process carbs and stuff like that. So I try to limit breads, and any processed foods that are harder for my body to digest. Thanks again for sharing your story. 🙂

Thank you for sharing! It was very thoughtful and insightful!

I've been waiting for this video! Thanks for sharing your experience Brynley. Its great to not feel alone in this.

Oh my goodness! I am so excited to watch this. I’m 23, just got married 8 months ago, and just got diagnosed with PCOS. I have super bad cysts on my ovaries and ever since I found out I have been really scared of infertility. So happy for you and your baby!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. One of my best friends has PCOS and I’m gonna send this to her. I learned so much and am so grateful that you shared your knowledge with us! Congratulations on baby girl ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m so happy for you and Donny and your beautiful baby girl! I have some high hormone levels but I don’t have the typical PCOS symptoms so it’s not a forgone conclusion that I do have it. But I really appreciate this video and your experience with it. Very informative and very interesting! I can’t wait to watch you become a mother it’s going to be amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This video was just what I needed … my husband and I started trying about 6 months ago and I was on the nexplanon I thought after removing it that I was going to get pregnant right away not the case.! I been to the dr and I don’t have PCOS I have had ultrasounds done and everything seems to be normal! My husband and I are going to wait until we complete a year to go check what’s going on if it’s me or him or maybe if the birth control is still wearing off.. we get so discouraged every time I get my period every month! I always have hope that “this will be our month” I just hope and pray I get to be a mommy soon but I do believe that it is in gods hands! And he knows our time

Wow I too have PCOS. My case caused me to never menstrate at all. I'm 34 was diagnosed at 19. I tried pretty much everything and at 25 I gave up having children biologically. I got off all my medications (I do not advise as I am not a health care professional) and at the age of 33 I got my first menstrual. I sad you have to go through this but I'm happy you are willing to share your journey and knowledge. Love you and congratulations on baby girl

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your story. You are not alone. I am 17 and I got diagnosed with PCOS last year at 16. I went to the dermatologist bc my hair was thinning and I didn’t like that and he sent me to the endocrinologist who diagnosed me. I didn’t have many symptoms besides the hair thinning and irregular periods. I would go five or six months without it but I didn’t think much of it because I was young. Now I’m on hormonal birth control to help and everything’s back on track.

The night shift nurse bloat is real! Thank you for being honest and open. Going through infertility myself there’s so many things I was naive to. Also, that men should get themselves checked out as well!

I’ve been waiting for this video, thank you Brynley!!

That is a amazing story. What a miracle. I'm still so happy for you guys. Can't wait for baby girl. 💕

Thank you for validating how difficult it is to have a baby ♥️ Your story is so honest and real

I am so grateful for this video. My ovaries are consistent with PCOS but my hormones are normal. I haven’t met anyone that is like me yet. I also had Endometriosis. I just had surgery in Feb. We started trying two years ago and it’s been the biggest challenge of my life. Thanks for sharing your story!!

I had that too when I was on birth control when I was younger and the birth control was the cause of it. They cleared up after a while once I stopped taking the birth control. Never had them again and never took birth control again.

This is a miracle 💗We can’t wait to meet your little princess 💗 Love y’all 💗❤️🌸

Thank you for sharing your story. Me and my husband were trying for ten years and it never happened for us. Happy for you

This made me cry! I’ve had PCOS for 6 years, been on metformin the whole time and have only had 3 miscarriages :( you’re so amazing for sharing this

I was diagnosed at 15 after I had cysts rupture. My primary casually mentioned it and threw in the fact I might not be able to have kids so I’ve had many years to prepare for that possible reality. It’s something I brought up to my now fiancé bc adoption or fostering might be my only answer and he was up for whatever. We get married next year and plan to throw my birth control out right away lol I’ll be 30 he will be 35 so we want to start as soon as we can bc we expect issues. So glad this is being talked about more, in the last 5 years is really when I’ve learned anything about it

I’m a medical esthetician and work with a lot of PCOS patients when doing their laser hair removal. Thank you for the great video!

You are just such a refreshing inspiration to us all! PCOS is no joke! Evening Primrose has helped me with intense cramps/regulating estrogen as my hormonal levels are higher in testosterone. That said, thank you, Brynley, for being so transparent and honest regarding your journey: You're helping more people than you'll ever know! Baby Girl is so lucky to have you two as her parents! Here's to a healthy 3 more months and every month and year moving forward!

Thank you for your candid video. You’re helping so many. You are a cool sister.

I have been waiting for this video! Thank you so much Brynley. It's always nice to know you aren't alone with this.

God gave you your miracle of a baby. God Bless you and listening to your story was heartfelt. 👶👶🍼🍼💗💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏🙏

You are amazing sending prayers for you and Donny 😍

Thank you for sharing your story I was diagnosed with tunner syndrome when I was 17 be told that i would never be able to have kids just broke my heart . But l know being open about everyday struggles and trials is how we can heal . I would love to adopt one day

Hi, I'm Catherine, I live in Scotland, UK. I'm 30 years old. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I think I had an idea that it may of been that just with my symptoms, & how I was feeling. I also started my period quite young too with them always being heavy & painful but I'd never really thought much of it then. Maybe thinking I was just someone that got them like that. Years past & I finally decided to speak to a Doctor about my ongoing symptoms & I got blood tests taken. Most of my results came back normal which was great, except the one that flags hormone levels for PCOS. So, what showed in my bloods & my symptoms must have been enough for a diagnosis. I feel lucky in a way on the period side, even though mines are as I said heavy & painful. They can still be regular which I've been told is a good sign considering others go with no periods or are really irregular. I've been told going forward it's more about managing the symptoms with like exercise & a healthy lifestyle & with that in time it could maybe improve my symptoms more. I understand along with there being no single test for this condition, there also isn't a cure. You just have to find a way to manage it the best you can. I have now been forwarded for an ultrasound that will possibly check if I have any cysts or anything. As I know you can from research & speaking to a Doctor. You can have these symptoms with PCOS but not always have the cysts. Even though there's probably a journey to go for me yet, I'm glad I know more than I did & that there is something going on. I can try hard to push on to feeling better & stronger within myself. I completely admire honest & open chats like these. We need more of this in the world! Thank you for sharing your story Brynley 🤗💜 It's much appreciated & so inspiring!!! Huge congratulations to you & Donny on your little girl 🌺 Wishing yous the very best x

Recently diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago. I just turned 29 and my fiance and I are getting married in November. I am terrified I won't be able to get pregnant when we start trying after the wedding. I want nothing more than to me a mother. Thanks for this! Gives me a lot of hope! ❤️

Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know much about PCOS but you were very informative ❤️ I

Brynley I love all your videos and I love all of you guys!

Thank you sharing your story!

I just got diagnosed (in my mid 40s) and it was only found because my DHEA-sulfate was high. I have insulin resistance due to PCOS which is terrible. But I was shocked to find out I had PCOS because I didn't have a lot of the typical symptoms.

That one tiny, beautiful little egg was chosen to be your sweet baby girl.💜

Just here to say that yes infertility is defined as trying for 1 year without conceiving. But I too felt the same way. We got pregnant quickly with my daughter like just a handful of months. When she turned 18 months-2 years we started trying for baby #2 and tried for a solid year with no results. I ended up conceiving because I ovulated twice one month, when my daughter was around 3 years old. Now I’m currently pregnant with baby #3 and didn’t even know. I found out in the 2nd trimester because we weren’t trying and I had no symptoms. I will say I didn’t get diagnosed until I got pregnant with my son. (Baby 2) but I’ve had PCOS since I was a teenager.

Thanks so much for sharing. Our stories are very similar, I was also finally scheduled for an exploratory surgery and had given up all hope of conceiving when our baby girl randomly showed up. I really think it’s all the years of being on the birth control pill that messed me up so I will definitely not be going back on that.

Excellent explanation

Thanks brynley! We love you!

Thank you for sharing your story! My husband and I recently got married this summer, and we’re going through the stages of PCOS and everything it comes with. You’re a beautiful person! She’s so beautiful 😍

I been waiting for the video and I love you Brynley ❤️❤️❤️

My husband and I tried pretty much right after we got married and after six months my doctor did surgery and I was diagnosed with endometriosis and still us two more years to get pregnant. We were at that point let’s just stop trying and about two months later I was pregnant with our first daughter. About a year after she was born I suffered a miscarriage and the doctor explained that I would have to have surgery again and go on fertility medication but I just told my husband if we have another baby that would be great but we were just so thankful we had our daughter. But with in five months we got pregnant again with our second daughter and we knew that was Gods gift to us because I never got pregnant again and within 10 years after our second baby I had to have a hysterectomy. Now I have two beautiful that are 22 and 20. I feel Gods timing is always the best.

God's timing is perfect. My husband and I tried for 12 years. I also had pcos. It was the hardest thing we have ever gone through. On September our miracle boy was born and he is my greatest joy and accomplishment.

was on accutane for 3 months. Cycle stopped for 6 months after I went off accutane. Dr put me on hormone, bled for 1 month, went on pill for 3 months. Went off pill, cycle stopped for 3 months. Went back on hormone, bled for 2 weeks, & went on pill for 3 yrs. Went off of pill & had no cycle for 3 yrs. Finally got cycle but it was wacky. Did hormonal panel (saliva test every day for 30 days) & that showed that I was switched (estrogen was going the wrong direction & progesterone was going wrong direction). Took supplements to get them going in the correct direction. Had 4 cycles that yr. Next yr I had 6. Next yr I had 8. Next yr I had 10-11 (which is where I was b4 taking accutane). Got a lot of pituitary headaches so was on a homeopathic remedy to help w/ those. Slipped into estrogen dominance in my 30s and was on supplements to help that. Then had testosterone imbalance for awhile. Took supplements to get that squared away. Things seemed to be okay for awhile but seemed to have some build up down there so started taking extra supplements during my cycle to clean stuff out. Took those for years and then my naturopath had me switch to another one. Hot flashes started getting wonky again so went back on progesterone cream. Now just do progesterone cream on days where I'm not cycling. 40 now and feeling pretty good. Glad that I never had motherhood on my agenda.

Thank u Sister for sharing. It was very informative. It made me bawl because I am one of those people that just couldn't have children. I would have loved a family. But, in my culture, my sister's children are mine. I don't want to share too much so I cried. Thank u.

Thank you for this video! It means so much to know I’m not alone in my struggle with PCOS!

I'm so proud of you for going thru such crazy stuff I'm glad you guys are pregernt idk I'm just happy 4 u guys good job!

I hope you feel better

Good morning happy Friday morning brinley you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and you are amazing vibe

Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ were you taking ovulation tests before you found out you had PCOS?

Do you know if the supplements are safe for breastfeeding? I did metformin and birth control but haven’t taken the meds since I had my baby. Looking for natural ways to maintain my PCOS.

I’m currently a nurse that rotates between days and nights. I’m super nervous I won’t be able to get pregnant.

I feel so bad that you feel like ypu don't qualify as someone who suffered from infertility. No matter how long it took, and just because you have one on the way does not mean that you can't say ypu struggled with infertility. Everyone has their own journey and don't feel like you hard journey doesn't matter because someone else has an even harder time. Trying to grow your family is a very tolling and emotional thing and as a mom that also dealt with infertility but has my rainbow baby- just because my journey to hold my son was only 2 years, It doesn't mean it hurt any less. I just needed to say that. I instantly felt bad for you the moment you made that comment.

Love this channel

Can’t wait till you become a amazing mommy

I have pcos it really bugs me knowing that i may or i may never be able to bring my future children into this crazy tough world

Hi Arnold Sisters

Very informative

💛

Had infertility when my husband and I tried. 3 ivfs nothing worked. 2 yrs later needed a full hysterectomy. Married 25 yrs no children. 😢

Hey gril when the baby coming love u

All in God's time.

Check out Sarah’s day.

The pill actually doesn’t regulate your period/hormones. It just suppresses them

Why did you need to take Metformin?

How many mg of femara we’re you on?

Hi!
