As mentioned in a previous post, I had a doctors appointment on Monday for the lovely yearly exam every woman has to get and mentioned bringing up the possibility of having PCOS since my period has been MIA or very sporadic over the last four years. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to bring it up mainly because I was afraid of finding out something horrible, but I did bring it up and I’m glad I did. The doctor was really nice and open about talking about it and what some of the causes could be; anything from weight to hormonal imbalance to insulin resistance. She decided that I should get some blood work done to see what my levels were in regards to my insulin, hormones and a lipid panel. I go back on the 27th to talk to her about the results but the nurse said everything was normal and looked good, except I had a slightly elevated LDL (bad cholestoral).

Of course, it’s two weeks away when I’ll be able to find out exactly what all this means but it makes me feel alot better to know that everything is normal and that I don’t have insulin resistance (at least, I assume so if everything is normal) and the level of my hormones is good. Hopefully, when it comes down to the nitty gritty and it’s time to have children, I won’t have issues so long as I lose weight. It’s hard to say right now how my body would be and if it’d regulate itself because I’m on birth control and won’t come off of it any time soon. I’m hoping that I can get my act together and lose the weight I want for the various reasons I have for wanting to lose it. We’ll see though, in time, how things go. But just knowing that things are normal, takes a huge burden off my shoulder and doubt of my mind (for now).
