I've been swamped at school this week. I have to say, I'm really enjoying the whole college thing so far. More on that another day.
I haven't had a real period in awhile, as in, probably over a year. After K moved in with us, she began to have irregular periods, too. I told her it was probably because she was putting on some extra weight and her hormones couldn't figure out what to do.
About two days after the Judge granted us temporary custody, my period came back. It wasn't a normal heavy to medium to light kind of period, but it's been a light-steady-bright flow. I hope that's not TMI, but if you've got PCOS, you understand how happy a period can be. I feel like a woman again! For a week at least. Ha.
I told my Mom about my period coming back and she freaked out. She was like OMG! YOU CAN GET PREGNANT NOW! RIGHT?! YOU CAN'T GET PREGNANT RIGHT NOW! SCHOOL! NYEBOY! A! JUST NO! NO SEX! I told my Mom to relax. If Life WAS that funny, I would be happy to laugh along with it. But let's face it, six years of unprotected sex has yielded me nothing but a heartache.
I just hope the period wasn't a fluke. I'd like to get some of this PCOS weight off, but it's hard to do when you're hormones are acting up. Plus, having a period makes me actually feel like a woman instead of a fat, hairy blob walking around.

I don't know what you've tried to manage your PCOS, but Metformin has done really good things for me. Regular periods to start, and weight loss for a second (not enough to get me looking not-fat, but loss all the same). The side effects take some getting used to but I think it's worth it.
I'm glad it was a happy surprise instead of a disappointment like it can be when you suffer from IF.
Ohhhhhhhh how I can relate! I'm a happy camper when I get the crimson tide.
Oh man, I haven't had one in two or three years. Sucks!
