Test Results

History: Feb 4th, 2010.

I was picking Derrick, my husband, up from work and he told me that Dr. J. had just called. So I called her back and she said I had all the signs of having PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). So basically what that means is my blood sugar is fine but my body produces too much insulin. Insulin is what puts the sugar where it needs to go in the body. This pretty much throws you whole body off. Too much insulin causes you to have cyst on your ovaries and stops you from ovulating. This in turn throws your cycles off. The real reason I haven't got pregnant. She put me on Metformin. Which is used to lower your insulin levels. Hopefully this will help.

Metformin: The side effects of this very. It is insane on your digestive system and will make you think, is wanting a child worth going through this. The first weeks of this was crazy, I hurt and cried and hurt and cried. I have found that the less carbs I eat the better I react to the medication.
