I suffer from endometriosis that seems to get worse and worse every year. I'm in my 20s and want to start a family with my husband within the next year, so every day I live in horrible pain is a day I wonder if I will even be able to have children. After numerous visits to different doctors (who want only to put me on several different birth control pills that all make me have panic attacks), I've been trying to treat things naturally myself. I eliminated caffeine and wheat, ate mostly vegan with tons of fresh veggies, and took about every supplement ever recommended, and still it just seemed to get worse every day.
I found FLO Living last fall after a friend with PCOS recommended it to me, but didn't want to commit to signing up with the program and paying the money without knowing if it will actually work for me. So when the book came out this spring, I immediately bought it and gave it a shot.
WOW. It's only been three weeks, and I can feel the difference already. I thought I had tried everything as far as diets and supplements, but as the book points out, you can't just throw healthy foods and supplements randomly at your body and expect it to get better. As a nurse, I thought I had a pretty complete understanding of my body. Wrong. This book taught me the daily and monthly cyclical nature of my body. Not just what to eat, but when, how, and how much makes just as much difference.
I will agree with another reviewer that there is some heavy self-promotion to join the official program (which is moderately expensive)throughout the book. But then again not everything you need to know to take care of your body for the rest of your life can be fit into a book. If I continue to improve, I do intend to join the online program and take it to the next level.
I have bounds more energy, my face has cleared up, and this month I have had significantly less cramps/pain. I've never once had to take a pain pill since I started, or had sudden stabbing pains that come out of nowhere. I have not had my period yet, which for me will be the real test. But compared to what my life was like, I am SO THANKFUL to have found FLO Living and this book!!
UPDATE: When my period came, I was in severe pain for one day. ONE DAY! This may not sound like a positive to most. But after being used to having cramps for the entire second half of my cycle only to be followed by pain on my period so horrible it felt like I was being eviscerated, this was a huge victory for me. I hope it will just continue to get better in the future! If you're on the fence on whether or not to try the program, JUST DO IT! Healthy food and positive affirmations will certainly never harm you!

2 Years TTC, Have PCOS, Immediately Got Pregnant
Having PCOS, confirmed having anovulation, and having spent several thousands of dollars at fertility clinics to try to get to the root of things only coming up with the possibility of having to take Clomid (which doesn’t guarantee ovulation, and ovulation doesn’t guarantee pregnancy), I was searching for a more natural way to regulate my body and make it function “like a normal person.” After doing many different diets in the past (such as Paleo and Keto), each with their own benefits, none have properly brought my body to a place where it was functioning properly on its own. After reading WomanCode and learning SO MUCH (I already research so much, I am honestly shocked when I learn anything new at all), I implemented the diet and lifestyle protocol 100%, even getting everything organic because I was fully ready to be fully committed to do WHATEVER it takes. (In addition, I added several herbal supplements as recommended by the NaturalFertilityInfo website). About a month later I had confirmed ovulation and then from the same cycle confirmed positive pregnancy test. I am now 2 months pregnant for the first time ever! Thank you natural healing brought on by WomanCode! And no side effects like the ones pharmaceutical drugs bring on! I will say based on how much this makes sense I fully expected to be pregnant at some point this year but was shocked when it happened so fast, the WomanCode way of living is the best way!
