Today was my doctors appointment and I had my ultra sounds and such and got my test results back. Good news is that it was not cancerous, but I do have Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This means I have problems producing progesterone, which causes problems ovulating. Which is not good. My last period (yes, this is kind of graphic) lasted 64 days.
So I was put on hormones and we are going to try to see if that will help kick start my system. This problem will however affect my ability to get pregnant. Not the happiest day. I have shown signs of PCOS since I was a teenager but was not diagnosed until now. I feel peace in knowing now I have a chance at being normal again. PCOS runs in families, mother or fathers sides, so it is more likely that my female relatives would have it.
I do have lots of stories and posts to post, I really just am glad to be done with this. I had a lot of stress about this the last week or so. I feel happy knowing that it is one thing I don't have to worry about, just have to deal with. There is something about knowing what you are dealing with though, it makes it easier. At least for me.

64 DAYS!?!?!?!?! I'm sorry. That stinks. It is good you found out what it is though and you can work to get back to normal. I know someone who has this and she is miraculously pregnant after 4 years of trying!!! It can happen!
Yeah, 64 days is not fun. You litterally bleed to death with this if you don't take care of it. The Dr said that even 50 years ago women would bleed to death. Not fun. But it explained a lot of problems I was having.
It will happen for me, I will have children one way or another. Of that I am not worried. Adoption is a wonderful thing.
