I have PCOS. What is that? Well, it stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I know, that sure clears it up, doesnt it? :) So, I will try to briefly explain pcos to you, in terms that make sense. Every month during a woman's cycle and egg is released. Well, in women with pcos, the egg does not release, instead they stay in the ovaries and create a pearl like cyst on the wall of the ovaries. Therefore, there is no egg being released.
Because I am working very closely with a fertility clinic, they monitor EVERYTHING in my cycle. I have drugs I take on certain days, and the clinic does internal ultrasounds and blood work from day 10 of my cycle until the moment I surge (ovulate). It amazes me that technology has come this far to be able to know all of this. And, even more amazing that there are people who care this much about babies, and women to learn and train to specialize in this area! What a blessed world we have!
Anyway, there is a brief explination of why this is such a challange for us. Having PCOS makes this whole baby thing a challange. A normal woman, with nothing hindering her, has only a 15-20% chance of getting pregnant each month as it is.....so, my condition drops that statistic way down......but again, whe have a wonderful medical system to help us. Thank you SOFT clinic.......you are a blessing to us!!!
