Dear PCOS,

Sierra. • Pcos, ttc for 2 years , starting metformin.
 You know I thought that after all the crying I did when I got diagnosed that I'd be over it and just do what I had to do and  deal with whatever came along with it. But that's not fair. I didn't wake up that morning and sign up to be told at the age of 18 that my chances of ever having a baby of my own were slim to none. I didn't ask for the extra hair, the weight, the acne , the depression, the frustration when your periods late  or stop for months on end, I didn't ask for the pain and the mood swings every single day, I didn't  ask to be pulled from the bathroom floor with tears streaming down my face  every month  by my fiancée because we got another negitive test after having pregnancy symptoms for almost a month.  And those cute little pearls us pcos girls talk about? We didn't ask for those either  and they aren't nice they hurt sometimes.  But I think what I want to say more then anything to you pcos is that you are not going to win this fight   I will do whatever I have to, cry as much as I need to , be poked by needles all the time, buy pregnancy test every stupid month, take a million different things to find something that works because  you have destroyed everything for me but you will not take my  hope or my strength. You can keep throwing whatever you can at me but I'm not giving up.  And you know why? Because I Am GOING TO BE A KICK ASS MOM someday and my kids are going to love to hear about how  hard I fought you for them.
