PCOS making life hard!

I've recently left my job to be a sahm to my 1 year old.
My job was taking a toll on my mental health and physical health and also my relationship with my partner. So he suggested I be a full time mum!
we also agreed to try for another baby! Which I'm over the moon about! I love being a mum.

But the stress from my previous job has Sent my pcos in to a spiral! And I just can't shake it.

my periods have stopped and I've piled on weight!!
I feel like such a failure that I can't give my partner another baby like we are planning.
Im trying everything!
I take 9 plus supplements a day.
I'm constantly running after my toddler and being active!
Im scared to go to my GP because they always tell me to lose weight!
When im barely eating as it is! Im weak, dizzy and fatigued all the time!

I just feel guilty and awful about myself everyday!

I really feel like im failing! not too sure what to do? Has anybody experienced the same?

Sorry you're feeling like this. I think before starting ttc you need to focus on your own well-being. Do you think you could be depressed? Is it worth seeing your gp to discuss how you feel?

If you feel strong enough, look into pcos diets. This way you will have more success in trying to lose weight. Even a 10% weight loss can kickstart ovulation and better cycles.

Best of luck.
