After being diagnosed with PCOS and an overactive thyroid, Ruvani Niwanthi shares her rollercoaster ride trying to conceive their first baby and her experience with IVF.
When my husband and I got married, we started trying for kids straight away. We thought it would happen quickly, as I had never been on the Pill. Two years passed and nothing.
We consulted an obstetrician to get advice. She did various tests and the results showed I had polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and an overactive thyroid. I started on Clomid and Thyroxine medication – six months later and still nothing.
