DUH - AKA PCOS


I was diagnosed in 2004 with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. If you don't know what this is, click on the link at the bottom of my blog and educate yourself. Once I started using birth control (in an attempt to deal with mind crushing cramps), I started gaining weight. I haven't always been overweight, just since college really.

I was having a rough time of it last week because the scale wasn't really moving. Well, duh me, realized that I hadn't started on my new birth control after my last cycle. The PCOS seems to respond well to the hormones in the Nuvaring and doesn't behave itself when I don't have it in. I knew that losing the weight with the PCOS was going to be hard but good golly! So here's hoping that with the Nuvaring back in, everything will start moving in the right direction.
