Okay. Blogging. Sharing your experiences with...well the world can be a hard thing to do. First of all, you never quite know whats sharing worthy. It's interesting to see what people are willing to share with you and what they want to hide.
The thing with blogs is that you can put on a persona, you can lie, and who's ever going to know? But I'm at an advantage here, because it seems that close friends of mine are following my blog, so they'll know I'm not lying. Unless, of course, I've created their accounts, but someone would catch me out. The truth always tells in the end.
Yet again, I've chosen to write to you at obscene hours of the morning. Because I got some good news this morning and I wanted to share it with you all. Last week I had a blood test, because I've been showing many of the main symptoms of a condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome. I read and read and read about it, information about the condition isn't exactly hard to find. It's one of the leading causes of infertility in women, so naturally, I was worried. I've never been one to want children, or even like them sometimes, but the last couple of years, I felt like that option could be taken away from me, so my opinion radically changed. I want a family when I'm ready, I think in a way, everyone does at some point in their lives. But, I'm in the clear. As far as I know, I don't have PCOS, so it's still an option. It took hour for the news to sink in, but I'm so happy about it.
My GP was reluctant to test me for the condition, but I pushed for it a little, so I could rule it out as an option, which I now have. I wanted to write this to let people know, if you want them to tell you something, test you for something, you only have to ask. Don't be shy of doing it. This has given me stress over the last few years until I plucked up the courage to ask.
So grin, and bare your teeth. If you need to know something, it's usually something big and it means you need to deal with it. Maybe it's a problem. If it is, you have to push to get it sorted, nobody else can do it for you.
