I have heard how good spiritual direction can be and am looking into seeking this as new way to grow in my faith. If you have received spiritual direction, how did you go about finding your spiritual director? And is there anything that you would recommend doing as I begin this journey?
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2020, had normal hormone levels but one period (mostly just spotting) maybe every 7-9 months, and confirmed cystic ovaries on US. I don't have any other symptoms besides that, no hirsutism, no weight gain, just no periods and cystic ovaries. I was instantly put on birth control which I was on for about 4 years. I got off of it in order to figure out my cycles before I got married. Well flash forward to last year, I hadn't figured out anything (tried no soy diet and cutting out dairy and gluten---> that was not a fun time) and the OBGYN that I was seeing didn't really have anything other than to take birth control to control periods. So I switched doctors and my husband and I were wanting to start TTC. Started on prometrium then did clomid. Had one clomid cycle failure with no ovulation, then had a second cycle that was successful, but unfortunately ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I have a pretty decent lifestyle (eat healthy, fairly active, try to do stress management techniques (prayer, supportive community, yoga, but my career is pretty stressful). I am looking for advice in anything that I can do to prevent this from happening again and any way I can try to achieve ovulatory cycles with lifestyle changes.
TLDR: Lean PCOS TTC post-miscarriage looking for lifestyle hacks people have tried.
