Personal post...I have to have a serious post once in awhile :)

Yup, I posted it!


*WARNING: Personal post that talks about woman things....Stop reading now, if you either don't care about the post of your not interested in reading about women things :) *


I don't talk about medical issues with me or personal issues much on here, because I don't want people to feel bad for me and I don't want it to seem that I'm asking for pitty...But I have been talking to an AMAZING blogger about this and I feel that I need to write this out for me to remember and maybe get some advice from all the other people that haven't been having any luck getting pregnant!

A couple years ago (2, I think) I went in and got a bunch of tests to find out why my cycles were so off (I went 1 to 2 months without a visit with Flo) and it's been like this since I went off the depo shot which was about 7-ish years ago...Yeah, it's taking that long for my body to get back to normal...Or I thought...The doctor didn't tell me much other than I was overweight and need to lose weight and quit smoking!  And that we would discuss being put on either Birth Control or another med to get my cycles back on track.  Nothing ever was said again!  If she wasn't concerned about it then I wasn't concerned...Well last year I went in for my womanly trip and got a complete blood work done.  I got the call from my doctor that my labs were off..I went in and she said that I was at the beginning stages of PCOS and that I need to really start watching my weight.  Of course she is soooo concerned about my weight that she doesn't care that I have PCOS...A couple months ago I went in the the yearly women thing and NOTHING was brought up by her about PCOS, and I didn't bring anything up about it, because apparently if she doesn't bring it up, it means I'm fine and nothing needs to be done....Well that's a load of bull...I show the nasty signs of having PCOS...I'm not going to go into detail, but they all suck...I also haven't seen FLO in THREE months!!  While I was at the doctors she said well since you are under the age of 35 you don't need another pap every year....OK, but what am I going to do about being "regular" and about trying to have a baby, because clearly after 7 years of unprotected sex with my husband, I should of been pregnant at least a couple times if there isn't anything wrong with me!!! 

So I will hopefully be making an appointment with my doctor or may even find a new one or maybe an actual womanly inside doctor that actually can figure out what is going on!!  I really think it's time for me to be a mom or at least take the steps to finding out if it will happen or if we will have to take the steps and save a shit load of money to adopt, or get a bigger house with a big lawn that can house the 6 dogs Scott said I could have if we weren't ever able to have children :) 

My family doesn't even know about this stuff...I keep my problems between Scott and I and now the whole blog community.  Scott's mom and brother occasionally read my blog and now they will know!  I'm totally fine with that...Writing about it and having them read about is so much easier for me...I don't like talking about it because it is a very sensitive and emotional subject for me.  So since I'm sure I will never meet any of you, I do feel pretty comfortable writing this post.  Scott has been so supportive with this...I had a breakdown the other night about this and he told me things that I really needed to hear and made me feel a hell of a lot better!!  He's such a great husband!! :)

So there you all have it!  My very first VERY personal, sensitive and emotional blog right out there for y'all to read!!  If anyone has any advice for me, please don't hesitate to give me some...I need all I can get before I start this journey of figuring out what the hell is going on with the inside lady parts :)

10 BITS OF LOVE:

i love you more and i am proud of you for putting it out there. you know this already, but i am here for you! always.

Renee said...

I'm glad you're putting this out there and not holding it in. Sometimes it makes me feel better to share. I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I think your doctor should definitely be following up with you about this stuff. And if I were you, I would probably get a new doctor. I'm here for you if you need me.

Summer said...

I love you lots and lots and am so proud you put this out there! Hey wait a minute um we are gonna meet someday ya know even if I have to make a trip to you LOL....

O.K. I had to get that out before I went on LOL....

I think you should get a new dr.!! When I was having infertility issues and tried for 2 1/2 years for Kelcee I had a doctor at first that was horrible.....and I think if we would have never switched we would still be trying....we ended up getting a high risk OB specialist and talked to a endrocronologist that did lots of tests and helped us get pregnant! If I were you I would totally go that route and know that I am always here for you 1000% :0)

I've always got your back chicka
:0)
I am so proud of you I am tearing up writing this post because I know you don't like to get all personal and yay that you did sweetie!
loves ya
Summer ;0)

Summer said...

P.S.
I totally had to google PCOS so that I would know what that was haha :0)

See your dingy friend even came back on here and admitted it LOL

love you
Summer

I think you should find a new doctor. I think its important to feel comfortable with your female doctor and if she isnt keeping you in the loop or if you feel she doesn't care about you then I think its time for a new one.

I think its ok to talk about personal stuff. People learn about you an thats important.

I will be thinking about you.

I don't really have any experience in this area.. but I would def. look into seeing another Doctor.

I don't have PCOS, but I do have fertility issues, I don't ovulate so I am in the process of going to high Risk OB/GYN as I am older to be staring to try to have a child (36) and I have had Gastric Bypass Surgery...Several of my friends have PCOS though...some have babies now and some are working towards it...

Get a new doctor girl...quick...that can make all of the difference...it sounds like the good doc is treating you as a number and not a human being...you need someone that will "know" your case...

Good luck...

...hugs, lots and lots of hugs... I'm so sorry, I know it's hard but maybe sharing will help. I think its time for a new doc. Check out http://www.ratemds.com/ people can review doctors, maybe you can find someone who will address the issues your having and also try to give you a solution. PCOS is treatable, I have a few friends with it and 2 of them have had babies in the last year thanks to good medical care and medication. Never give up hope! If you need to talk email me. :)

absolutely get a new doc! A friend of mine had PCOS and was working as an OB nurse, just using the docs at the hospital she worked at. She got sick of not getting prego, so she found a specialist, got some pills, started ovulating and now has a little boy! And just start googling docs in your area and call and talk with them about what they specialize in and how many cases similar to yours they've had and the outcome of those cases. That might help! Good luck :)

I hope you get the answers you need. Definitely find a new doctor!
