Im 23 and have been diagnosed with severe polycystic ovaries syndrome earlier this year. It only took about two years of telling my doctor I knew there was something wrong with my body for her to finally listen to me and send me for more than just a blood test. A scan confirmed the cysts present in both of my ovaries and several blood tests confirmed that I was not ovulating. So that's the crux of the blog, dealing with this "demon", while pretending it doesn't exist because I'm too young to be worrying about these things right? I have plenty of time to worry about having kids? Apparently not anymore. I have to put on my big girl undies and make some big decisions over the next few months/years because I'm not going to be one of those people who inadvertently becomes a mother, I wont have a "unplanned but much wanted surprise". I cant blame it on missing a pill or getting the dates wrong - it will be planned, discussed, stressed over and discussed again but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.
A little more about me....I live with my partner (and two cats) in the idealistic, white picket fence (literally!) home that we bought two years ago with the intention of it becoming our "family home".
I work in the finance industry and my passion is photography which is a stark difference from my day job. It really is my creative outlet. I especially love photographing people and even more-so, my nieces, nephews and friends children. Capturing a smile, a giggle, a grump face. Children are so honest and unafraid to show their true emotions to the camera. I am hoping to use some of my photography to go along with my blog.
Today's photo is a picture of my house and the famous white picket fence just in the right hand corner...
So until next time - love, light and happiness.
