Could be worse

Well things could always be worse...that's what I keep telling myself.

Apparently I was not the only one who got online and self diagnosed.
My best friend said she got on-line and looked up all my symptoms. I'm really glad I didn't go to whatever website she did. She said she was getting really worried cause everything she looked at seemed to point to ovarian cancer.....I'm glad she didn't tell me until yesterday cause I would have freaked the hell out!!

Anyways, so I was waitingly patiently for them to call my results. I didn't want to be one of those patients that keeps calling.

Her nurse finally called me the results....

You all ready?!?!

I apparently have poly-cystic ovarian disease.
If I understood her right it means that I've got hundreds of little cysts all over my ovaries. Both of them are covered. To the point that I don't ovulate...at all. I asked her if I don't ovulate, how did I get pregnant. Her comment?
"That's probably the only time that you've ever ovulated, your ovaries are covered in these cysts"

Huh, that's good news. It's not a tumor.
But basically since I'm not dropping eggs, my body thinks it's going through menopause. So they're gonna put me on birth control to lessen the cysts and hopefully get things back to working right.

SO that's that.....I'm not dying.

Today could possibly be the day that I get myself fired.
I've sat here very quiet all morning because I know that the minute I open my mouth it's over. I'm sick of my boss and his stupid stories about airplanes, I'm sick of this fucking phone and I've only been here an hour, I'm sick of the fat stinky one who works right behind me....she is the fucking queen of all that is TMI.

I may lose it today.
Thank God I'm off tomorrow, if I had to come to work I'd probably call in sick. I thought about it today but my co-workers out....(lucky bitch!)

It would be nice if you all hear about a girl whose gone on a psycho killing spree in Knoxville....take up a collection for my bond please......

		I'm SO happy to hear that it's not a tumor (said like Arnold). Hope that the birth control helps with it. PS - don't kill anyone...well, maybe you can...I'll start saving some money for your attorney fees. ;)

		What an amazing blessing that you were able to conceive in spite of it. Sounds like your hormones are causing you to be nervous. I pray that they will even out and you will be able to count your blessings in more ways than one.

		Hey, I'm glad that they know what is wrong because now they can take care of you! I hope you start feeling better... and don't kill anyone! I don't want to write to you in jail!

		The one good thing is now you have a diagnoses, now you are able to work on a cure. And just on a lighter note, i have a friend who has PCO and she has just had her first baby after being told never. There is hope.

		Glad to know you now have the results and know what the issue is. I have two friends with PCO, and they both have been blessed with children. Kailey is even more of a treasure to you :)

		I had polycystic ovaries - I still do, actually. They told me I would never concieve, and yep, it took a while for me to catch pregnant (and stay pregnant - tho that has nothing to do with PCOS) but Stanley is here to show that although its harder to get pregnant, its not impossible. My sister had it too, but she was lucky because she had one large cyst they removed in a simple op and now shes all clear. Apparently it runs in families, most notably aunts and neices (odd huh)...but my aunties knew nothing about it. I was treated with a drug they were trialling for the condition, called Meformin. Its actually taken by type 2 diabetics, but theres some link between something it does for diabetics, and the pancreas, and something it does in PCOS. Worth looking up, because I'm afraid I dont know the exact details. After two years of no menstruation, one week on those pills and they were like clockwork and I was remembering why I hadnt missed them! Now...I believe I still have the cysts, because my period is still very irregular, but I have Stanley, so I can live with them. Unless you are given the all clear (as it is totally curable over time) then keep it monitered, because I was told if you dont, then it can lead onto bigger things like endometriatis (sorry about spelling), and yes, very rarely, cancer. Anyway...I just wanted to let you know, that when I first got it, I took it as 'I'm infertile' and I was devastated...but clearly I'm not (unless Dave really is the 'super stud' he thinks he is, lol!) and if its treated...its ok to live with. Watch out for the beard though (facial hair is a symptom!). Hehe x Happy 4th July, enjoy your day off xxxxx Oh, and anything else you want to know, you know you can ask me. xxx Cheb xxx

		Mama, I'm so happy for you! That's great news. :) "fat stinky one." You have one too?? :)

		For those I know who had this - losing weight helped them to conceive. I have a beautiful grandson conceived after my daughter in law worked very hard to lose weight. He is definitely worth the struggle!

		Sigh of relief that it's not cancer! My mom had cysts all over her ovaries as well, had them removed and then had me. So, hopefully, you will also be able to have as many more children as your huge heart desires.
