So here’s the story,

My boyfriend of 5 years now and I have been trying to conceive. We’ve only been officially trying for a few months now but we haven’t been preventing for a few years now. But during those years, we work different shifts so we only saw each other 2 days a week so we would only have sex once a week typically. Well, I went to my normal Pap smear and talked to my doctor about it and told her my past where I was born with an ovarian cyst and blah blah blah. She decided she wanted me to do an ultrasound. So I went yesterday. Got it done. Really had no worries because I don’t feel anything is wrong down there. I didn’t think I had any cysts but I definitely wanted to be sure.

Anyways, fast forward to today. I just woke up. Sat on the couch. Turned on the tv. Got an email from my doctor. I signed up for the patient portal stuff so I always know right away results. Well these specific results were from my ultrasound. It said a lot of words, things like I have follicles and the size of my ovaries, etc. At the end it says “suggesting polycystic ovary syndrome”. My heart sank. I know someone with PCOS. Her and her husband have been trying to have a baby for years and years now. She’s been on so many meds. They have tried all these expensive ways of getting pregnant and nothing.

Basically, I can’t stop crying. I’m freaking out. Is that going to be me? No one in my family has ever had a hard time conceiving. No one! And all I’ve ever wanted in life was to be a mother. I know I need more testing now and stuff, but right now all I need is someone to tell me it will be okay. I’m scared to tell my bf. I know he will be okay and still love me, but idk I’m just not ready to admit it.
