PCOS
It’s official. It took them 8 years but I finally have a diagnosis! The best part is maybe I can get some treatment. Turns out I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Basically it’s the reason for the excess weight, irregular periods, problems conceiving, etc.
So what was the first treatment I tried, good ol’ birth control. What did my body think of this grand idea to set it straight? Mutiny! I became a walking talking contradiction. Sure things were regulated but I felt worse than ever. So I gave it a good 3 month try and then stopped.
I’m looking hopeful towards getting on Metformin (a drug to help regulate blood sugar) as those with PCOS has insulin resistance. Hopefully this will be more helpful than the BC was.
