My Beginning...
Posted 11-02-2009 at 06:44 PM by Miss Monae
I am new to SoulCysters, and also new to PCOS. Well, I'm new in the sense that I never knew what it was that I have been battling for years since I was a 14yo teenager. I always asked my mom, "Why do I have this dark ring around my neck and under my arms and between my legs?" I used to think it was dirt, and I was not properly washing myself. I used to think it was some kind of skin issue. No one would tell me. This lead to exteem issues. I also started my menstrual at the tender age of 10, which was odd for me. I thought I was too young for it. Girls at school told me that it only meant that I was ready for womanhood. So I bought into it. Big mistake. I always knew I had a dangeroous history of Diabetes in my family (all of my grandparents and my dad) but I never thought that could be related to this.
Fast forward 3 years, I was 10 weeks pregnant when I miscarried. I and my husband (fiance at the time) were devastated. We were not plannign to get pregnant, but we were overjoyed at the thought that we were going to be parents. Following the miscarriage, they did a D and C to clear me out. Well, apparently, the D and C did not do much of anything, because I bled heavily for 2 weeks. So much so, that on top of the few days I stayed home after the miscarriage, I had to take numerous days off because of accidents and such. After a while, I got so fed up. I went back to the hospital where I was treated for the miscarriage and explained what was going on. Found out who the DR was and went to his office for an emergency appointment. Found out that I still had matter and that they needed to do another D and C. After this, thigns would never be the same for me. I have been going to GYN after GYN trying to find answers as to why I miscarried. Then, after I started having 35-day cycles all the time, I wanted more answers, but I got none. I've taken countless vaginal and pelvic ultrasounds, blood tests, cat scans and no one can seem to tell me what is wrong with me. I sometimes am afraid to go to bed at night because the amount of blood I lose. There has to be something going on, I told myself over and over.
Again, fast forwarding to today, I 'vaguely' received a diagnosis of PCOS and now I am here on this journey.
Still looking for some concrete answers...
