Love Notes From Adriane

I never thought I would have to write a follow up to this post but I think its absolutely necessary for people to understand the truth about why it’s important not question women about having children. Back in April 2018, I took my last birth control pill and I was soooooo excited. Thinking “I’m going to stop taking these synthetic hormones and hopefully by Christmas I’ll be pregnant.” Beside the fact that I’m not a spring chicken anymore (ya’ll I’m 30), my body was suffering with something I never knew I had. From April to August I only had one period. ONE!!!! So in August I went to my doctor and said “Sis, something is wrong me.” And they ran some test and decided my body may need more time off the pill to regulate. December came and I still no period. I did my googles (searched online) and came to a conclusion of what I thought I may be suffering with. (I know I’m not the only person checking WebMD) Long story short, I told my new doctor what I concluded and she did a full panel blood screening just to be sure. And on Jan 8th, I was officially diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome). Crazy right? Since that day, I have had a mix of emotions. Good days, bad days and some bad days worst than others. I’m hopeful that whatever God has planned for a future family for Dom and I will happen.

I said all that to say… 1. Go to the doctor and even if something isn’t wrong ask for a full panel blood screening. Knowing the status of your health is so important. You only get one body, take care of it. 2. Stop asking women about the reproduction of their bodies. You have no idea what they are facing to bring life into this world. I know I have a LONG road ahead of me, but I’m optimistic that what’s for me is for me.

Keep encouraging one another!
