Frieda Machenry

Recovering From PCOS Frieda Machenry

Roughly a quarter of women experiences pregnancy loss. But despite the frequency of these losses and their impact on those who experience them, they are rarely talked about - and that burden of silence is especially heavy as the parents return to work.

Nothing is more full of life, potential, and possibility than the experience of expecting a child, of carrying new life and waiting to bring it into the world. Birth is all beginning, the furthest we will ever be, in life, from death.

This book is about the author who suffers from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and secondary infertility, who attempts one last time to become a mother. She keeps readers in suspense as she details her final and twentieth year of suffering through the "two-week wait," the time period between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. After announcing her pregnancy, she brings readers along as she goes through a harrowing high-risk pregnancy and traumatic birth. People who are struggling or have struggled through infertility or child loss will find hope in this true story of grief and joy on the road to motherhood.
