Me and PCOS

Okay okay. so what am I writing about today? I don't really know. I do know that it has been on my heart to write about my journey with all of this. Not only for others to read, but as a bit of therapy for me I guess. So here goes........

Hello all and thanks for taking time to read my story. My name is Stacy Lee and 7 months ago I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome, PCOS. Basically for me that means that I am insulin resistant which is making my hormones not work correctly, which is why I have be unable to get pregnant. Anyway, so I have been taking metformin, (which is a diabetic medication) to help my body with the insulin issue. So far.....not much has changed. I had a major melt down about 2 weeks ago because of frustration and I was crying for about 2 days. I know that I am to trust God in all of this and know that he has a plan for me and John, but sometimes the load just gets so overbearing and I crumble. I want a child so much. I love children. Since I got out of the Army in 2001, i have been working with children is some way. I was a preschool teacher for a few years. Even had a chance to go to Japan for 3 months and teach preschool to jr high school aged children to speak english. And, for the past 4 years I have been working the front desk at a pediatric clinic. So I love to be around children. So when I found out that this road toward parenthood was going to be a long and possibly impossible journey, it was hard. And it still is everyday.
