Unhappy Update

Well.....I found out what is wrong. I have Polycystic Ovarian Disorder and Insulin Resistance. I'm not producing enough hormones for me to ovulate. Insulin Resistance runs hand in hand with POD. I don't quite understand exactly what Insulin Resistance is but I am going to do some research on it to find out.

It explains why I have been having a very very difficult time losing weight though.

I am going to be put on Provera and Metformin, I know Provera is a hormone replacement but I'm not sure what Metformin is besides that it is a diabetes medicine.

My fears were confirmed.....POD can greatly reduce the ability to get pregnant. I will more than likely have to be on fertility medicines when I decide to try.

ohhh....why can't my life just be normal........
