I went to the doctor today 'cause my period decided not to come for over two months again. We did more blood work and I'll be sent to another lab to get more tests plus an ultrasound done to see if I have polycystic ovary syndrome. Basically this means that since my hormones aren't working properly, my ovaries have way too many eggs and because that is so, they turn to liquid-filled balloon-like things called cysts. Yes, some cysts are cancerous, but these should be pretty benign to begin with. The only thing it would affect so far is me having trouble getting pregnant someday if I ever wanted children. Long-term effect is likelihood of high blood pressure, diabetes, or even get breast or uterus cancer.
I think the problem lies more with my obnoxious heaviness from over-eating causing massive weight gain. So... if I lose weight, my body should start functioning normally again... but you know... losing weight very quickly is not the way to go and I'm not sure when it will be that I can become 50lbs lighter again. I have already started exercising and eating a bit healthier... but... yeah =_=; *sigh*
To tell the truth... not having my period for a long time is actually very nice, but I'm not exactly fond of the idea of being a candidate for cancer someday. I know I haven't exactly been a wonderful person growing up, but I really do hope that karma doesn't decide to hit me 10-fold when I haven't exactly committed any societally-condemning sins =_=; I guess... I can deal with not having any children, but I have a feeling that I'm going to want them someday. I really want the decision to be with me and not because of my body in choosing whether or not to have children someday.
But anyway... I still have an ultrasound to do and check to see what the problem is and hope that there aren't any cysts in my system... One can only hope I guess.
