Well, I think it’s safe to assume that I did NOT ovulate.
Bummer. First time I thought there was a good probability. My temps were
raised, and I’d had a corresponding OPK and high, soft open cervix. Well,
onwards and upwards. Bound to squirt one out eventually, right?
For any readers who are struggling with this disease, here
is a link to a petition for POF.
The devastating thing about this disease, aside from the
OBVIOUS devastation, is that no one is doing anything about it. Most cases of
POF are unexplained. Very little research is being done to find out what causes
it outside of the “normal” reasons, why it happens or how to treat it. Because,
as I’ve discussed before, they only have medications to treat the symptoms –
HRT or birth control.
There are limited studies that have been done, but not
nearly enough. Heck, when I was diagnosed, I had NO IDEA that this could even
happen to anyone. What do you mean my ovaries just stopped working?? How does
that happen?
So, what we can do for now is sign the petition and start
talking about it. (um….as I write in my private journal on my computer…bashing
head into desk…let’s see ladies, can I take my OWN ADVICE???) That will require
a lot of nerve. No one knows about my struggles yet except for my parents, my
husband’s parents, my siblings and three select friends. It’s hard not to feel
broken.
Hang in there and God bless. Praying for my healing and
yours.
