I have been overwhelmed by all of the comments and emails I have received.
From feeling quite alone, I feel I have developed a kinship with quite a few of you.
There have been many emails and some comments that
have been shared.
The first thing I want to say is thank you for being brave enough to share your story with me.
Some of us are friends, some acquaintances, and a few are total strangers,
but we have one thing in common.
We have struggled silently with something that we shouldn't have to feel like we need to be silent.
There have been many of you that have told me that you've just been diagnosed with
PCOS and you want to do more research.
Here are a couple of links:
There are many blogs and support groups as well.
There are some of you that have also shared with me that you fear you have PCOS.
I've been there.
I've had the self diagnosis and that was ok for a while.
BUT
I encourage you to get a definite diagnosis from a doctor.
While it is devastating being told such news, there is also an empowerment that comes with it.
With getting a diagnosis, it eliminates the fear of
'what if'.
And believe me, I know that fear.
I know what it's like for the months to pass and...
waiting for a cycle, using pregnancy test after test because I thought because I'm late
'I MUST be pregnant.'
Well, little did I know about any of this whole infertility world.
I never wanted to face the fear that I'd have this struggle.
With knowledge there is power.
Learn everything you can and find that
'silver lining' and that little 'glimmer of hope'.
It'll give you hope and help you to move forward to create a plan for the ultimate goal.
To conceive and have a baby of your own.
While my plan hasn't worked yet,
I have a doctor with a dedicated team that has a game plan.
One day I'll be a parent.
Thank you again for all your words of encouragement.
If you have any questions, want to contact me to share your story, or to talk with someone who understands, I welcome it.
Much Love,
Sara
