So often I feel the same way about this pregnancy. After six years of infertility and 5 losses (including 2 IVF cycles that worked but ended in m/c), we finally conceived miraculously without help...and of course it just so happened to coincide with a beautiful working vacation we took out to California. I've received a TON of stupid comments about how "relaxing" and going on vacation "did the trick," when in reality, I still have PCOS, am hypothyroid (medicated for both), have an auto immune disorder, blocked tubes (as per my HSG) and endometriosis. I'm a medical mess, and this REALLY IS a complete and utter gift from God. Part of my frustration comes when people try to trivialize the utter unlikelihood of this ever having happened by telling me that relaxing (which I've done MANY a time before--including far better vacations where we never conceived) was the primary agent in this pregnancy. It's laughable, but I guess people like to be "right." Anyways, as a fellow PCOSer, you do have a lifelong road ahead of you, but it's true that with diet, exercise, medication (Metformin) and weight management, the symptoms are managable and pregnancy is possible for many.

"You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion.' I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. The expression would change to 'I can't deny what the church does, but I don't believe in their God.' At least then they'd address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat."
