okay so that was wrong

I have been diagnosed with PCOS. My tests were re reviewed and that is what I have. I'm scared, worried and I feel like I'm in a haze. I know it's not something serious, and thank God for that. I have other health issues though and just this fuels the fire. I was told I will probably be a diabetic too, since most people with PCOS develop diabetes. I am now on Metformin to help with ovulation and to slow part of the process down. I will be starting that as of tonight. We will see how this goes. Im scared.

Weight and Tape results for the week!

Well here is my weight and tape results that I promised!

I have lost 18 inches total of my entire body since Decemeber 1st 2009! I have not lost much weight though, but right now inches are what's important. I can feel my clothes feeling looser and it's great! A lot of people don't understand that a scale is not always accurate! As you build muscle, you may not lose weight quickly. But if you measure yourself, you can see those inches melt off!

Also, I finally had a period. Didn't last long, but it was better than none. I go to the Dr on Thursday for a check up to see what she thinks and what else needs to be done, if anything. I feel pretty good right now.

I am currently watching the Biggest Loser...it's so inspiring.

So...an update and woman issues

I noticed it's been awhile since I have updated. I apologize for that and will be updating regularly again shortly. With the holidays and all that jazz, I have not had a ton of spare time. I have kept up with the gym, not as much as I'd like, but since the chaotic time of the year is over, I am starting back up on a regular basis. I know, shame on me! I have continued to eat healthy. As for weightloss and inchloss, I have not checked that in 2 weeks. I will continue that routine next Tuesday morning, which is when I was doing it previously.

I have also had some women's health issues lately. My period is NEVER late! Since August, I hve been irregular. No period in October, and then none in 2 months. I've had blood work for many things and all was well and I am NOT pregnant. I also had an ultrasound done on my "lady parts" and all is well there too. I do have a lot of "lining" that needs to be shed and do have some very small follicles on my ovaries, BUT not enough to be associated with PCOS and not enough to cause a disturbance in ovulation or menses. I've been prescribed 10 days of Medroxyprogesterone to induce my period. It failed. My tenth day was Dec 31 and I still have no period. I go back to my doctor on the 14th, so I'm sure I will end up on another cycle of Medroxyprogesterone and a referral to both an OBGYN and Endocrinologist. At this point, it does not look like anything serious, but it's a possiblity my hormones are all out of whack! Which is NOT good, but may have something to do with all of my weight gain over the few years and the difficulty to get it off. Eventually if I do not start my period, I will more than likely get an D&C done. So, please keep your fingers crossed for me!!! It's still a slight possiblity this could be serious, but less likely than before.
Thanks Everyone!
