PRAISE FOR THE
FLO PROTOCOL

I had a very irregular cycle, and I was on the pill for over 12 years. I went off it in April 2013 as I wanted to get pregnant.  Although my cycle was regular (to my surprise!) I was in so much pain. We started trying for a baby in July 2013.   A friend introduced me to WomanCode, and I started living by it in January. And shortly after I started, I got pregnant!  I thought it was going to take months or not even happen.  It just goes to show that working hard at healthy eating really make a difference.  

At 29, I am finally pregnant  - I never ever thought I would see this day… Age 12-19: I suffered with a cycle that was heavy, painful, long and sporadic often missing for 6+ months at a time). Age 19: My doctor prescribed the Pill and for the first time I had what I thought was a ‘normal cycle’. What I didn’t know was that from the very first dose that little yellow pill began to darken my life with mood swings, weight gain, and severe anxiety (that I am still to this day trying to shake). Age 27: Still on the pill I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid that had to be surgically removed after a horrendous bleeding experience that I wish I could strike from my memory. 4 months later: I finally quit the pill for good but my period never came back, eventually it had to be ‘kick-started’ with a dose of progesterone. Even then it was a sporadic mess – it disappeared for 6 months and then came back to cycle every 12 days. I also tried to get pregnant to no avail. It was around this time I found Flo Living, I signed up and tried but just couldn’t commit myself to make a real change – I honestly didn’t believe it could help... Age 28: I was diagnosed via ultrasound with PCOS – my ovaries were “classically polycystic and very enlarged.” Coming home from  the doctor’s office in tears with words like ‘clomid’ and ‘needing help’ ringing in my ears, I recommitted to the Flo Living program out of complete desperation. Still finding it hard to commit and see change, my FLO Coach Christina guided me through it, piece by piece, meeting me where I was at, listening and supporting every step of the way. Age 29: After a night of what I thought was food poisoning, I stared in complete disbelief at 2 pink lines! We weren’t trying at all. In fact, it was a complete surprise after one night when we let our guard down after a couple of glasses of wine. I had always assumed I would “need help.” I only took the test because my husband encouraged me to so I could “rule it out,” mainly because I blamed him for the food poisoning! As I look down at my tiny bump, I am overwhelmed with joy, in awe of my body, and so incredibly thankful that I found Flo Living. I am 100% positive that without this program I would not be pregnant today. If you’re struggling, if you feel like giving up on the program… I know how you feel, I’ve been there but please please hold on. It’s not a quick fix, but I promise you it will heal you from the inside out.
