I was sent here, by a member of another BB that i am a part of. (and boy am I glad that she did!)
I posted a topic telling my friends, and fellow BB memebers about what i have. Sever of the women have come forward to tell me that that also have it, and that they have successful pregnancies.
I am 22. I don't have any cysts on my overies, but was told that i do have PCOS, because i do have all the other symptoms (well, most, anyhow)
extra facial hair, sparatic period, excess bleeding, things like that. (im sure I have more...) the Dr. was a little weird with telling me all of this. I was scared to go to the Dr. for fear that they would tell me that i'd never have children, but the more and more i read here, the more i get all warm inside. My fiance has been a trooper, through all of this. He wants children, but he loves me more, than his desire to have kids. he's really been my rock, in all this. my friends don't understand what's going on, tho i have given them plenty of links and reading materal.. it all very frustrating. Its like being the only person who speaks english, or something.
On top of this, i have depression. I have always had it. I have some OCD issues, and the list goes on.
I am a practicing witch. I tell people that I am wiccan, simply because its easier to explain. I practice from what ever magick cultures i feel most drawn to by my soul. Which is mostly ancient egyptian practices, and some druidism. I am a witch, plain and simple.
I have one wonder fur-baby. His name is Ryuu. he's a peterbald (breed of cat) he looks a lot like Bast, the egyptian goddess.
lets see, what else. i was diagnosed like 2 weeks ago, i think it was. yeah.. after sitting in the shower for three hours, bawling like crazy, simply out of frustration and pain, i finally asked my room mate to take me to the hospital. (yeah, the bleeding scared the crap put of me!)
They Rx me Yaz, and told me that he wanted to start me on a taper. (a week on 3 pills a day-one morning, noon, and night, then a week on 2 pills a day- one morning and on night, then the regular one a day.) and if i wanted to stay on it, i could. Problem is, Yaz is like $62!!! he told me that its the perfect one, simply because it has the levels that i need. (that's wonderful, are YOU going to pay for it?!?) lol
so i am currently looking for alternative methods to helping me w/ this, until i can get the money to get what i need. I have been looking around, and have found LOTS of helpful information. I'd prefer alternative methods my primary, but this is my uterus we are talking about, not a head ache, and if i get Rx pharmasuticles that are proven to work, you best believe i will take them, tho i hate taking drugs at all (don't even like tums, if that tells you anything).
so yeah.
all my blood work came back normal, except i had low estrogen. (imagine that! I could have told them that
) anyways....
so yeah.. this is me... in a.. large nutshell. any questions or whatever, feel free to ask me. I'm not shy.
I like it here.
Its good to have a support system full of people who are going through this same thing.
