Myra Garcia, a 32-year-old high school...
Myra Garcia, a 32-year-old high school teacher, had been trying to conceive for over two years. Her menstrual cycles were wildly irregular, ranging from 25 to 45 days, and she experienced significant acne and unwanted facial hair growth. After initial fertility testing revealed no issues with her partner, her GP referred her to an OB/GYN. The specialist diagnosed her with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal imbalance. The doctor recommended a combined approach: starting on a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill to regulate her cycle and manage androgen symptoms, alongside Metformin to improve insulin sensitivity, a key driver of her PCOS. Myra was anxious about taking medication long-term but hopeful. The first three months were an adjustment with some initial nausea, but by month four, her cycles became a predictable 28 days, her skin cleared dramatically, and she felt a new sense of control. Emotionally, she moved from feeling 'broken' and frustrated by her unpredictable body to empowered and proactive. While still on her fertility journey, managing the hormonal imbalance has given her a stable foundation and renewed hope.
