Topic: RE: Send a Card to a Soldier!!!
I checked SNOPES on this, and it is "false".  The US Postal Service will not deliever this.  As it puts our solidiers at risk.  I would suggest checking out the site for clarification.

Its a great idea. But its a URBAN LEGEND.   They do have a follow up link that may be worth checking into.

As Im a big believer in supporting our troops

Congrats Girl!! I am so happy for you.. I am new to this board and your post was the first I seen. I know the feeling. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 and my husbadn and I struggled with the fact of not being able to have a baby for 7 years... But we believed God for a miracle and seeked out a wonderful fertility dr and after 2 years of treatment and one miscarriage we got our miracle baby and he is now 16 months old.  We want to try again but both agree that I need and want to be healthy so I am looking into the Bariatric surgery.  I have done a ton of research and am ready for it!  Anyways good luck, take it easy and I will keep you in my prayers, there is nothing more amazing then being pregnant and being called Mommy!~

Hugs
Rebecca

Here I sit and think when I was 16. I was rushed to the hospital. Hunched over with pain. Drs came into the room, and i was in agony! It was a huge cyst on my ovaries that busted. No pain med could touch it! About 5 hours later pain subsided. When I was 19, I went to my ObGyn with pain again. I was diagnosed with PCOS. The Dr told me that I will have it forever. There is no cure, just weightloss, and diet. to help with the side effects of it. He also told me I could not have kids, due to my PCOS and lack of fertility. I was devastated! I thought WOW whats the point of being a woman? WHY ME? So I went for a 2nd opinion. And that Dr told me the same thing, He said my ovaries were filled with cysts and that I could never produce healthy eggs. I cried. But over time, I accepted the fact that I would never be called MOM. I prayed to God a lot, and asked him to forgive me for being angry with him. I knew there was a reason for it. Over time I was ok with it. I helped my sister raise her kids like my own. When Jeremiah and I got engaged, he knew I couldn't have kids. I told him if he didn't want to marry me, I would be ok with it. I kept saying he should marry a woman who could bare his kids. But He stood by my side, and loved me, and said I DO! He stands next to me proud, and knowing i cant have kids, still loves me FOR ME!
Well here I write to tell say, Miracles happen! I am 8 weeks pregnant (on Monday!) I thought i was under a great deal of stress, and since I always have a late period bc of my PCOS, i didn't think much of it. So last Friday I took a pregnancy test, thinking I just wasted my money, And it was POSITIVE! Took another one in the morning..same thing! I almost passed out! I called my sister crying and she started crying bc she knew I couldn't have kids! But she had faith, so did my MOM! But for me, like I said I just accepted it.
I called my OB, the only OB who had faith in me also. He was a new one i only seen 3x, But kept telling me if you ever plan on having children tell me and we will try anything we can!
After 7 years with Jeremiah never Got prego! After we got married (Oct 4th 2008)BOOM! My last cycle was Sept 25th 2008! I still cant believe it. Never in my life I would be called MOM...MOM! Im high risk though bc of my PCOS, the Dr said I still have about a 50% chance of miscarry. But I just gotta take it easy. I still cant believe it! I need to breath, and let it all in. Even if I do miscarry, at least I know that I CAN get pregnant! I CAN!!!! But prayers help!!!
My due date is Jeremiah favorite holiday 4th Of July! Out of all days LOL

Crazy huh?

I hope you all have faith and hope.
Miracles do happen!

Topic: Send a Card to a Soldier!!!
When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.

It could be that your body is starting to regulate itself. With the weight loss your cycles can change and that might be why it is shorter. And yes the mucusy discharge could be a sign of ovulation.

Topic: What is this?
Ok since having rny in april my periods haven't regulated but I think it' s mostly in part b/c of the bcp. I took them for 2 months then I stopped them b/c they made me spot for like a month. Anyways Now when my period comes it's only like 4 maybe 5 days and only like 1 heavy day. In the past it was like 6-8 days and several heavy days. Also I have noticed (tmi ahead) this kinda mucusy discharge. I mean like haning out of me after I use the potty..I warned you it was tmi. The only thing I can think of it when I read that Taking charge of your fertility book, years ago it said something about that kind of discharge around ovulation, right. I dunno I was just hoping someone, anyone would have some experience with this. Any help would be appreciated. tia

Topic: RE: PCOS and hair loss
I have pcos, but my problem is I have too much estrogen.  I do have a friend that had horrible beard growth but she lost a lot of weight and not only did her beard stop growing, she got pregnant unexpectedly.   She has gained a lot of that weight back since the baby was born, and her beard has started growing back.  I really think it depends upon the type of pcos you have.  My gyn said there are some very thin women who have pcos. 

In my case, I do believe weight has played a huge factor and I'm really hoping my fertility will be improved after I have wls. 

BTW, I would be afraid to shave too because of being thicker and darker.

Topic: RE: Facial Hair
Hello,

I'm 6 years PO from RNY and had bad facial hair due to PCOS, my WLS didn't really do much to help it but I gained more confidence and found a great laser center.  That has been a God send for sure!  I know it can be expensive but it was well worth it for me.  I hope you find what you're looking for!
