I am married and have 3 kids and a puppy. We are a full house and I call it a zoo. I am the Zoo Keeper. I am still training my wild animals! I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2003 and told by 2 doctors that it was a miracle I had one child and I would never be able to have any more kids. But by Gods will alone, I have a 6 yr old, 2 yr old, and a newbie just born in June. I am only 23 yrs old and have been through a bunch of things in a short period of time. I have a lot of experience in many different areas. I love the Lord and my family and I'd do anything for any of them!

2 AnswersPregnancy9 years agoMetformin to regulate cycles? personal stories pleases?
At 15 I was diagnosed with Pecos. I'm now 28. Not over weight, no diabetes. My ob and I are discussing putting me on metformin as I keep having ectopic pregnancies (they miscarried in early stage so I still have my ovary) and partial torsions due from the heaviness of the cysts, again saved ovary, I only have 2 periods a year. And have been bobtail charting for 5 years now. Does anyone have a personal story for me about their experience with metformin, good or bad is welcome. Thank you :-)

2 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoWhat is the "Right Way" to leave your church?
The church I have attended in the last 4 years is the only church I have ever been to. In these 4 years, I have never seen anyone "leave the right way". My husband is in a mens group and plays the bass for the band, and we hear the Pastor always saying, "they didnt leave the right way" but has never said what the "right way" is. Now that we are being called to go somewhere else, I'm not sure how we are to handle the situation with telling our church goodbye. Anyone who leaves the church has been talked lowly of or other things similar.... I dont want people to think we are abandoning them, I dont want to be talked bad about after we go... Even though many of rumors have been around about me already (which is not why we are leaving). I know that people are only people and we all make mistakes.... But I just wanted to hear from you all to see what you thought we should do in this situation. Hopefully God will speak through you all since you are not directly involved and are neutral parties.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI see there's not a lot of people who answer in this section, but I will give this a shot....?
We are testing for paternity on my son who is 9 years old.... 10 years ago I had sexual relations with 2 brothers, plus a couple of other men. Yes, it is obvious that I had no boundaries or real guidance in my life at that age. This was 10 years ago, and just for the record, I am a completely different person now. But on a hunt for my sons biological father, I decided to test the one I had sex with more often. We can call him Brother A. When the results came back that he is not the father, they sent me the DNA results. Out of 15 alleles, only 6 did not match. Leaving 9 that did. Does this mean that he could be a relative? We are testing Brother B as well, I'm just trying to do my research in the mean time. Does anyone know about DNA testing enough to help me out here? I just want my mind to be at ease during the waiting phase of all of this.

13 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoI have positive OPKs showing in my Luteal Phase?! Is this a defect?
Ok, first, I will start off by saying that I have been charting and using OPKs for 2 yrs. I started on Clomid last month. Last month and this month I have confirmed crosshairs on Fertility Friend that shows I ovulated with an obvious thermal shift and Postive OPKs at the time of Ovulation.
So, now I'm gonna say the rest... LOL... I bought a pack of OPKs that had 20 strips in it. So, Im taking them for 20 days. Fertility Friend has confirmed my ovulation and I have an obvious thermal shift, however, I am still getting Positive OPKs and Almost Positive OPKs in my Luteal Phase. Is this a Luteal Phase defect? I cant find any information about it online, but Im also not the worlds greatest at searching.... Do any of you know why this is happening? Can you give me some insight at all??? Please ?! :(
1 AnswerTrying to Conceive1 decade agoBleeding while on progesterone????? why?
I was diagnosed PCOS in dec 03. In June 06 I had a baby. Since she was born, I never stopped bleeding. the drs put me on birth control and it finally haulted. My husband and I decided we want another baby. SO the dr said to stop taking my pills after i finish the pack. My period came, and I continued bleeding. I bleed for about 10 days, stop for about 4, then go for another 10 days, stop for 4 and so on. My gyno screened my for endometrial cancer - it came back normal. And she started me on progesterone for 10 days. Im on day 9 and my bleeding has STILL NOT STOPPED. She said she doesnt know why. So shes giving me another 10 day supply of progesterone by a different brand. What in the world is this? Does anyone have anything they can input? I go back this coming friday for a check up. I just dont know whats wrong with my body. Why cant I quit bleeding??? Anyone have anything? Any ideas? Anything? please....? :(
I guess someone will ask, so I'll answer it now. Im 25 years old, weigh 120, eat healthy and am 5'2" tall. Someone always asks, so Im just saying it.

1 AnswerWomen's Health1 decade agoWhen you/your friend/family member was diagnosed with cancer, how were they told?
Will they tell me if I have cancer over the phone? Or will they tell me to come in? I just want to know how to expect the results.
I figure I could find out easiest by asking how others found out. They took a biopsy, and said they would call me with the results. If its positive, will they came straight out and say it over the phone or would they call me in to tell me....
6 AnswersCancer1 decade agoIm really embarrassed about asking this question, cause I feel like I should know, but I want ur experience...?
I was diagnosed PCOS many years ago. Which means I've NEVER had a normal period. I have only ovulated a handful of times since I started my period, and I have 3 kids with no help of fertility drugs. So I feel like I should KNOW this answer... But I have to ask just to put my mind at ease. After every child I had my PCOS got worse and came back with a vengeance. After my 3rd baby was born I hemorrhaged for 2 years. Literally, in 2 years, I had 2 breaks that lasted 2 weeks. I saw many of drs and finally was prescribed birth control. I was on it for 6 months and this is my first month off. So I have been BBT charting and I think I ovulated and I think Im 9DPO today... So here's my question..... is it normal for breasts to fill heavy and full right now? This has ONLY happened to me when I am pregnant and I dont know if EVERYONE feels this or not.... I feel so dumb for asking, but please, just let me know what happens to your body after you ovulate. Ive never done this before without being pregnant! LOL Thanks for your time.

1 AnswerPregnancy1 decade agoDiagnosed PCOS - Clomid after 8 months of birth control pills?
For 18 months after I had my daughter, I bled constantly, continuously heavy bleeding... I went to a dr as soon as we got on insurance and he suggested Clomid. At that time we weren't sure if we wanted to have another baby or not. So I said no, and he put me on Ocella (the generic form of Yasmin birth control pills). I've been on the pill for about 8 months now, and we have decided to have another baby, Will the dr put me on Clomid right away? Whats standard procedure after coming off birth control pills and ttc with a diagnosis of PCOS?
