It's going to be...interesting.

Good luck with that. When were you diagnosed?

[Utrommaniac]

Pretty recently. I think in February? It was confirmed with a blood test.

Spoiler:

It doesn't help me that I have a uterine fibroid either, which means certain things go longer than average when they actually do happen.

PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. It basically means I have (non-cancerous) cysts in my ovaries. It makes ovulation a little more infrequent, and often wreaks havoc on basic hormonal balances. It's probably contributing to my low thyroid issues. It is possible for women with PCOS to get pregnant (as I would like to one day in the next few years), it's just a little harder. In short, it's a hormonal disease.

Birth control probably will be part of my treatment for hormone regulation as well, but I suck at remembering to take daily medications.

Not married, no kids.
Thank the lucky stars.

I have a friend online (won't say who or which form of social media we interact though) who says her parents and grandparents really want to see her settle down and have kids at some point. I for one find it a little sad that even in this day and age parents still try to pressure their fully grown offspring to procreate just so they can experience being grandparents. I mean honestly, what is the purpose of that?!

It's not for everybody but there's plenty of purpose to that. You have to look beyond the box of waffle cookies in front of you.

Still holding onto the past, aren't we? Seriously, this is just getting sad.

Frankly I find it a little creepy that you still have an outdated version of my site on your domain. It's like the internet version of keeping a shrine of me in your bedroom.

Why would I? I haven't even logged into my site in a year or two. But if I did, it wouldn't be to look at your Mary Sue fanfiction about you going to other dimensions to hang with Marty McFly, Colonel Sanders and having sex with Tom Welling or whatever is going on in them.

That's kind of a "glass house" situation there at this point. I mean come on, your Hal and Kyle series is still up on YouTube, but you don't hear me boasting about it, especially not these days.

Besides the main point, you're kinda starting to scare me here. You seem overly obsessed with whatever happened back in 2006 that somehow correlates with that stupid job I had. Honestly, I don't even care anymore. You really need to seek some professional help or something, because I don't feel comfortable being here when you're like this. Get some help, man!!!

I hope you're able to get everything under control. At this point in my life, forget it. lol

Some other things linked to PCOS is weight gain, difficulty losing weight, and Type II Diabetes.

From a very young age, about 11 or 12, I decided that I wouldn't have kids physically. I saw birth and the thought of going through that was traumatizing to me. I said if I ever had kids, I would adopt...but would want to do that before the age of 30, but it just wasn't affordable and I still can't now.

Anyway, my mom would like for me to settle down, but it's mainly because she doesn't want me to die alone...literally. I'm an only child. She's very worried about that.

What does that have to do with anything? Why would you be boasting about it?

Besides the main point, you're kinda starting to scare me here. You seem overly obsessed with whatever happened back in 2006 that somehow correlates with that stupid job I had.

Huh?

Honestly, I don't even care anymore.

Oh, clearly.

You really need to seek some professional help or something, because I don't feel comfortable talking to you when you're like this. Get some help, man!!!

Is this you CHARGING at me again? It sounds like you're CHARGING at me again.

Hey there's nothing wrong with wanting to find a soulmate, but it should be for the pursuit of true love, not having someone to procreate with.

To the contrary, dude. You're kinda "CHARGING" at me here. I said nothing to provoke you into making that cookie remark, but I just wanted to point out how it's starting to come off extremely creepy and obsessive for you to bring that up time and again. You're basically harassing me here with it, and that's not cool. It has to stop.

Yeah, from an outsider looking in, Jeph isn't the one causing the problems here. I don't even see why the stuff that happened eleven years ago is relevant now, especially on this thread.

I've pretty much always been comfortable with the idea of it. I mean, one of my favorite shows right now is Call the Midwife, where chances are something is going to go terribly wrong . In regards to that, my OB isn't worried about there being a problem with fertility for me, at least not right now.

Like I said, he's coming off obsessed with me. I'm basically Hal Jordan to his Sinestro.

I'm not married myself, nor do I have kids so I can't speak for them with justice but in my opinion, people don't want grandkids for an external purpose that will be fufilled once they have them, but its just the sheer joy of having them. Basically, they enjoy having kids for the sake of having kids, its internally fufilling and purposeful in itself, not requiring justification from something else. Same with the institution of marriage that's been here for so long.

Am I right Andrew? (Since youre a dad and a husband)

Yeah, that sounds about right. Kids are bad-ass. Marriage is pretty neat, too.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I voted married no kids even though TECHNICALLY I DO have one. I say technically because I gave birth to one but she was adopted at birth by a friend of mine and now lives in Iowa. She knows who we are though and we keep in touch.
