I had been debating about writing a blog for a while and finally decided it was time. So where to start? Well I guess I should start with PCOS. In April of 2010 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS is a disorder that makes your ovaries produce multiple cysts and basically shuts down your normal cycle. It can also cause other issues such as diabetes, heart disease and ovarian cancer. There are not a lot of words to explain the feeling that I had when I found out I had PCOS. It actually took me months to disolve the idea and really understand what was going on with my body.
I was very lucky to have a OBGYN that diagnosed me quickly and started treatment. I am currently starting my third medication/dosage strength and will find out Friday if it is working. I am currently on Femara, which is a drug created for women with breast cancer. It's side effects weren't as bad as the other medications I had tried. I learned through this process it isn't always great to read about your condition or research medications online. Theres a lot of negative info online and we have to face it God created us all different so no one else can tell me my story and what's going to happen next.
Kevin has been a huge support during the testing, doctors appointments and medication. I haven't always been as loving due to the hormonal medications. I can't imagine going through this process without that support and love. We both know that God is in control and we are so thankful of that. When know that he is going to direct us to the path that he has drawn for us.
This will be the home for updates on what is going on in our life. Please feel free to follow our adventure!
