Polycystic Ovarian What??

Men readers please be advise, I'll be talking about some women issues, but please keep reading because this is dealing with healing.

If you all didn't know I use to be married and in 2006 we were ready for kids. I wasn't getting pregnant. I had always had an issue with my cycles since they started. They were never regular, and every doctor I went to could never figure out what was wrong with me, they would just give me a prescription for Birth Control pills. The pills always made me very sick and sometimes my cycles would cause a pain so bad, I couldn't walk, at all! Freshman year at Sam Houston, I lost so much blood I had become a sever anemic and I was pale as ever, still they had no clue what was going on with me.

In 2006, I went to see a wonderful fertility specialist, here in Los Angeles, Dr. Tina Koopersmith. She did a series of test and concluded I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). In short this is what was causing the out of control cycles, and also developed tiny cysts, and it was going to be harder to have a baby. I was somewhat nervous while she talked to m about PCOS and I'm sitting in the chair waiting on her to say, but I can fix you! She never said that, in fact she told me you can't cure the syndrome, I can only control it with pills. Ugh, I hate pills!

First thing first, I had to have a surgery to remove the cysts. Sounds easy but I had never had a surgery in my life, and I was terrified!! I had everybody pray for my strength and my surgery. I walked into the hospital like "G", whatever that means, LOL. After my surgery, my Dr. told me I had bad scar tissue and it was going to be even harder to get pregnant. After that she put me on so many pills, I acually lost count. About 2months later I decdied I wasn't ready for kids so she put me on some more pills, so I coud have a regular cycle, big horse pills, in which I was going to have to take for the rest of my life.

A few months later I reached out to a Prayer Warrior at my church and told her what was going on, and she told me I was healed but I needed to stand on the word and believe it, and she laid hands on me. This was right before my 30th birthday, and the next day I got up I honestly felt like a new person. That month I stopped taking all those pills, because I'd planned to go back to my Dr. and tell her we need to try something else. What I hadn't notice was that God had already worked it out for me. I started to notice my cycles were coming on time every month, on it's own. WOW! Now this is a woman who has never had a regular cycle, that's super exciting because God healed me. My Dr. told me I could never be healed from PCOS and I would have to take medicine for the rest of my life and it's going on 3 years, that I have had a regular cycle with no medicine!! Thank you Jesus!!!

This is my story and I can only tell you what happened to me. I'm not telling anyone to bump what their Dr tells them, just know they are humans too and don't have the last word.

Here is a website about PCOS in case any ladies have questions about the syndrome.

God is Amazing and h is still performing miracle's today. I know when I get married and I'm ready to have a baby, I will be able to have a baby. In case you all didn't know I'm naming my daughter Morgan. All my close friends and family know this already, they call her by name. : )
