Bloody Tuesday

Ugh, today I feel like crap. I feel like I'm in a haze; my head hurts and my stomach just doesn't want to settle. Oh, and did I mention that my period started again? A week after it ended. I did read that it was normal to have break through bleeding for the first two months so hopefully this is normal and my body's way of cleaning itself out.

I have to admit that it has been a frustrating process to get to this point. I know most women get diagnosed with PCOS or other hormonal imbalances because they're trying to get pregnant and can't but I have no desire to have children and don't really care about infertility issues. I feel sorry for all the women who are having these issues because I've had many friends who have struggled to get pregnant. But the problem is that all us single women who don't plan to get pregnant any time soon are made to feel like we shouldn't have these issues and why are we bothering to try to fix this problem now. For all you single women, you are not alone in your quest to feel better. If you feel like your doctor is not listening to you when you tell them that you don't feel good, find someone else. Keep track of your symptoms and when they occur. Before I was diagnosed with PCOS, I knew something was wrong with me but I didn't know what because other than being exhausted always broken out, there was no real problem that I could pinpoint. I felt like my body was destroying itself from the inside out and I didn't know how to stop it.

And don't find someone who tries to treat the symptoms. Find a doctor who is willing to work with you to get to the root cause of your problems.
