I am 21 years old and right now I am an emotional wrecking ball. I think its best I start from the beginning
I have always been overweight my whole life. From birth until now, I have always tried diet after diet and nothing worked. at 16 years old, my mother begged me to go on the contraceptive implant ( I am from a rough area and she was scared about attacks etc) so I did.
My periods stopped all together almost straight away, I didnt like it straight away. For the whole 6 years I have used the implant and I have gone to GP, sexual health nurses with my fear of no periods and they have told me its normal and I am so lucky, even when I said my body didnt feel right. Knowing I was overweight it panicked me.
In July this year, I was rushed to hospital with severe abdominal pain which had turned out to be a Urinary Tract Infection that had got to my kidneys, They wanted to scan me for appendicitus, during the scan the woman explained about my 'very bulky' right ovary and I burst into tears of frustration, I knew something was wrong and no one had listened. She could not see my left ovary and described my uterus as tubular. She even went as far to say she is 97% sure I have PCOS.
This had me distraught, I want children and I am terrified that I may now not be able to not naturally anyway. My boyfriend has stuck right by my side and been fantastic even though I havent been the easiest person to deal with. I know this might seem like an over reaction but I'm sorry i needed to get these feelings out. I have had the implant out and now have to wait until September 11th for blood tests on my hormones, I have had the implant out since the 29th July and no period as of yet. I guess I just need some reassurance o0f what to expect with results, what happens next? likelihood of pregnancy? i AM SORRY TO BOTHER YOU ALL.
