From PCOS Misdiagnosis to Pregnant Naturally: Allison’s Fertility Recovery Story
In this inspiring client story episode of the Nourishing Women Podcast, Victoria sits down with former client Allison to share her powerful fertility journey.
After 10 years without a period, multiple doctor visits across the country, and being repeatedly told she would likely need Clomid or IVF to get pregnant, Allison began to believe motherhood might not be possible for her.
Despite being told she was “healthy” and having a normal BMI, her cycle never returned after coming off birth control. Doctors diagnosed her with PCOS and offered birth control or fertility treatments as the only options. But something didn’t feel right.
When Allison discovered Victoria’s work, she decided to try one last approach before accepting fertility treatments.
In this episode, she shares the truth about her recovery journey — including the emotional challenges of changing long-held food and exercise habits, the mindset shifts required to heal, and what happened when she finally gave her body the safety signals it needed to ovulate again.
Within one month of beginning recovery work, Allison got her first period back. Over the following months, her cycles regulated. And when she and her husband eventually began trying for a baby…
She got pregnant the first month.
Now 19 weeks pregnant, Allison reflects on what she wishes she had known sooner and how doing this work before pregnancy made the experience far less stressful physically and mentally.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the “exception,” this conversation will give you both hope and clarity.
