If you think you have PCOS… no, you don’t anymore. Well, you do but… as of May 2026 this syndrome is no longer known as “Polycystic Ovary Syndrome” (PCOS): it’s now known as “Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome” (PMOS). The Fruitful Hollow is taking a closer look at what this change means for the diagnosis and care of over 170 million women worldwide. We’ve done the research so you don’t have to; so let’s dive in!

In many respects, the prospect of permanent infertility is akin to a terminal diagnosis. The weight can feel heavy, almost unbearable. This life - this existence - is for a more magnanimous purpose: to be in relationship with God and to share in His own blessed life. We do not earn it; it is pure gift at the cost of Jesus' Passion, death and resurrection. Indeed, your life has not ended, it has changed.

When I hate my heart and body with all its problems that make me permanently infertile, I see a heart that was pierced for me and loves me when I can't love myself. If that perfect heart can love my imperfect one, then maybe I am worthy of love. When your heart can't take anymore, let His heart carry yours.
