Hey Everyone,
What a great site!! Thanks to all. I just joined here, but have known about my PCOS for years, and has diagnosed when I was 18 (now 29). I'm finally taking some action and ready to kick some, well you know. Here's my short version story.
I've had 4-5 lap-scopes to "removed" or "drain" the cysts since I was 18, but no surgeries in 6 years. I saw an endocrinologist around the age of 19, he was certain I should have a hysterectomy and said I'd never be able to have children...pfftt boy was he wrong! I had a son, who I put up for adoption in 02' with no problems whatsoever, except for not finding out until I was 21 weeks pregnant. It was a crazy point in my life so I went with an open adoption. Best choice I've ever made. I suppose I do question it sometimes, if I'll be able to carry again. Either way, he's happy and so healthy and wonderful. After all that I had sort of forgotten about myself...as a lot of women do. The past few years of my life have been amazing, I'm back in school and head over heels for this old punk rocker who I call my better half...who supports me in everything I do. I've decided to grab this by the horns. I finally have a appointment to see a specialist in two weeks, about my PCOS. I've been dealing with it alone for a long time (with my Mom's amazing nursing skills) I eat so well, except for the odd beer. Drink so much water. Walk everywhere. I take care of myself, but know matter what I do, can't lose the weight I'd love too. Among many other lovely syptoms...acne, facial hair, bizarre menstruation. These I can deal with, so far so good. I'm fairly excited to see this doctor, and even more about finding this group!! You ladies rule!!!!
heh And I've just realized this is the first time I've really written this down all at once. It's fairly empowering!!
Thanks for listening/reading!!
