Beware the Hormonal Woman!

My emotions have been all over the place today.  Actually scrap that - not just today, it's been all week.  I feel like a friggin pregnant lady, just without the baby!

I think it's my hormones & my cycles causing this horrid mood - PCOS has a lot to answer for, let me tell you!  I went to the docs today, to enquire about going back on the pill in an attempt to regulate my cycles and reduce my PMS symptoms, but the appointment didn't go very well.  Firstly, the doc was over 20 mins late in seeing me - and she is a doc who will not hesitate to chastise you for being 2 mins late for an appointment - and it meant I was already anxious cos it only left me 10 minutes to discuss options with her, get home, get changed for the gym and actually make it to zumba.  So, doc calls me in and I straight away say that cos she's so late I won't have time to stay very long and she doesn't even bother with an apology....or even seem to remember me from my previous appointments (of which I've had about a gazillion of them with her, and pretty recent too) or what's going on.

The issue with fertility...

...is that you never even think about it until it becomes an issue.  And there are seemingly 2 extremes to the fertility scale - there are those who fall pregnant if someone so much as sneezes near them at 1 end, and there are those who do all the right things and yet never successfully conceive at the other.

If I'm honest, even though I've had moments throughout the last few years where I've wanted to get on board the baby train, my fertility has never come under scrutiny.  I told myself that it's unlikely to be a walk in the park, based on the experiences with my female relatives, but never thought until now that there might be a serious problem.  And yet, here I am, facing the possibility that I might have PCOS and other hormonal problems...
