PCOS

Ok, so this is a little off topic but its something I need to write about. I have not had health insurance since 2008 and I just got my health insurance through my new job and I went to the Dr. on Aug. 2, 2012. I went to the gyno because first of all I needed a checkup and I was having very unusual periods. So unusual that for almost 3 years I didnt have a period at all. On Dec. 31, 2011 my period came. It has since came every other month. I know that this is not normal so I asked the Dr. He really didnt seem to have an explination besides that my endo I had in 2007 could be the cause. Well needless to say, Sunday Aug. 6, 2012 I started having sharp pains in my right side. I didnt want to go back to the Dr. so I decided to try and wait the pain out. Come Wednesday am, I could hardly walk so I knew it was time. I called the Dr. office and they were able to get me in right away with a new Dr. Upon arriving I was taken to the ultrasound room where upon review, I could see I had cysts back. The tech confirmed what I already knew... After the ultrasound I was taken to the exam room but the nurse. When the Dr. came in (I was seeing a new Dr. because the one I had seen was out) and reviewed my chart, she knew right away what was going on. She diagnosed me with PCOS. For those of you who dont know what PCOS is, its poly cystic ovarian syndrome. It is not curable but treatable... Well after a long talk and her describing everything I've been going through, I was finally relieved that this all made sense. I am on 2 medications at the moment, with a few more on standby but even with all of that, I am not going to be a victim. I will fight this fight and get myself back to "as normal as possible." I have an amazing boyfriend who is my rock. He has helped me through this and even though its only been a week, I do feel a little better because know I know whats going on and this medicine can help me. My hopes of a family are not out of the way or reach. One day I do plan to have a family. It make take me a lot longer but I will not give up. "The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you..."

Well I must get back to work and get something accomplished. LOL! :) Thanks for stopping by.

Introduction...

Well I have finally created a spot where I could post about my couponing, crafting, family, photography, etc. 

Today I have finally finished getting my coupon binder organized and now all that is left to do is put away my coupons in their sections. After printing tons of coupons, clippping them, researching great deals, etc. I am finally ready to file them so I can plan a shopping trip :)  I have started a list of things that I would like to purchase and I plan on going to the stores this weekend and see what I can do. :)

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my new blog.
