I'm jealous!!!
Everyone i know is having babies except for me!!! (maybe not everyone but it feels that way) Bill and I have been talking about starting a family, but we've run into a few set backs. #1 set back is i just found out that i have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Finding this out has kind of got me in the dumps. Lets just say I've been a little depressed. On tuesday we have an appointment with a specialist to see just how serious of a case i have and what steps we need to take to be able to start a family. So here's to crossing fingers and wishing good luck. Lets just hope i can stay positive through it all
****this is just the start of a journal really for myself on the progress of starting a family*****

I hope everything goes well!!!
You are not alone. PCOS is like the new Autism for women... everyone is being diagnosed! Including myself. After lots of test though, they now don't think I fall in the spectrum of PCOS, but just have polycysitic ovaries for other reasons. There is a lot that can be done for PCOS and I know a lot of girls who have gotten pregnant after being diagnosed. If you ever want to talk about it... call me! I know how you feel :)
Hello beautiful Mia! I'm sorry you are having trouble starting a family. Been there...done that! And it's not fun! It took us five years to have Jessica and another six to have ShelbyLynn. Jake was a big fat surprise two years later. (And when I say fat, I'm not kidding! Nine pounds six ounces of chub!) It was so hard to watch everyone around me get pregnant so easily. It was a very challenging time. I became pregnant with Jessica after a blessing from Uncle Dave. And then we had ShelbyLynn after our bishop offered a very special prayer in our behalf. Next time we are together I will tell you the story. Try not to get discouraged. It's easier said than done. Make it a matter of prayer and then exercise your faith. You and Bill will be great parents. I'm crossing my fingers and saying my prayers in your behalf. I love you!

Oh Mia I am so sorry!! Sounds like their is a lot that can be done though so keep thinking positive and be sure to get a really good Dr. I am sure everything will work out well for you guys =)
I am so sorry to Mia. I will definatly keep you in my prayers. I hope things go well when you meet with the doctor.
Oh Mia, starting a family can be so stressful and sometimes take forever! I have known a lot of people with PCOS and they have all eventually been successful with conceiving, but it does take time, prayers and patience. Unfortunately it isnt always on our timing. We struggle for a year and a half to get Leah here and had a miscarriage in the middle of it all, and then had Ryan by surprise, so you just never know when the sweet spirit will come, but it will, and you guys will be great parents! Here is a quote I loved that helped me through the trying to conceive process:
"Courage is not always a roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that whispers, 'I will try again tomorrow."
Hang in there! We are cheering for you!

I was diagnosed with it and found a website to be EXTREMELY helpful in knowing the cause and actual way to reverse a lot of the symptoms. I have been seeing a specialist too for the last few months. I can say that I have been successful in totally getting past the setbacks. Check out this website. It is amazing. www.pcos.insulitelabs.com. Let me know how everything goes and what you think!
thanks for all the support. I've been trying to get pregnant since Dec, it gets discouraging, but there looks like there may be light at the end of the tunnel after all...
