One year ago this week, I had a follow up appointment with my endocrinologist to review the routine test results he had ordered a month earlier. It was at this appointment that the endocrinologist told me my ovaries were failing. The doctor felt really bad that he just blurted it out after he realized I didn't have any children and that I was hoping to have children. At the end of the appointment he told me, "you prove me wrong, next December come back waddling off that elevator pregnant." Since I suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) I have always known it might be difficult to conceive and add to that failing ovaries and I felt my chances of conceiving were low.
On Monday, I return to the endocrinologist and I can't wait to see the doctor and show that I did just as he asked...I proved him wrong. I will be waddling off that elevator with a big smile on my face.
