About a month ago, after months of missed period, I decided to have it checked. I don't know why I wasn't that concerned though coz I remember this thing happened last year too and I guess my period came in and continued coming on the clock for several months so...yeah. I initially thought that last year's shenanigans is brought upon by stress which is maybe true but this year is less stressful for me in a way but I also thought it's probably because of the Corona virus and stuff but yeah I decided to have it checked by the tech and yeah I had a whole abdomen ultrasound that time and she said she can’t really find anything beside my perfect looking kidneys and my fatty liver so she said I should have it checked by the doctor and yeah. I had a Trans-V ultrasound and I don’t know if the doc’s just so used to it but she sounded so unconcerned when she said “poly cystic ka lang dear”. I don’t know if it’s nothing to be concerned about or maybe that’s just how she approach patients but yeah. She wrote me a prescription that would restart my cycle. PROVERA and METFORMIN. So, the Provera she asked me to take once a day for 5 days initially and metformin 3 times a day for 3 months. I would then have to wait for my cycle to start and count the 15th day and then drink the Provera again for 10 days straight. And that would be the case for 3 cycles. Metformin would kill me, I tell you. It gives me the worst headache and stuff but I guess if I want to fix my cycle, I have to endure the pain and all. I’m not really diabetic per se but I guess with the cysts that I have, my body’s reaction to sugar and insulin is impaired. So yeah. I hate the metallic taste it leaves on my tongue. Gross. The doctor actually said that it’s an expected side effect and that if I couldn’t take it, I can just stop drinking it and just try to lose weight. Because apparently, reducing the dose would just be useless and it would just have an effect with that dosage. I don’t know. I just know it makes me dizzy. Now you may have heard that PCOS almost always equate to pills but in my case, it wasn’t recommended because apparently, I’m prone to cancer? Something like that. So you know, I don’t know if the pill causes cancer or maybe that’s just me given my situation.
Anyway, I actually already started my cycle (thank goodness) and yeah hopefully after the treatment my body would be normal again. At the end of my ultrasound session and after all the prescription was explained, the doctor reassured me not to worry because the medicined would not affect my future kids. That’s a relief! Anyway, that’s all!
