I say that only because I wish PCOS did not exist. And it is unfortunate that I, along with many other women, greet this syndrome into my life...
I have been living in awareness of my PCOS for almost a year, and trying to have a baby for much longer. In my circle of darling, sweet, fertile friends, I have been feeling very much alone and have needed some sort of an outlet to express my emotions. I am also looking to educate myself further and hopefully others as well. I am not a doctor, but a patient trying to understand the effects of PCOS and the army I can build against it.
I invite all and any to share thoughts, questions (remember, I am not a doctor), advice, etc. of which I would love to post on this blog to offer further comfort to those suffering. :) A little community diary, if you will. :)
Please join me. Maybe if we all gang up on PCOS, it will run away with its tail between its legs. :)
Never Giving Up,
Halley

Hey Halley,
This is such a good idea for you. I really hope it helps. It looks like you got the image on your profile figured out. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Halley,
I'm glad this is a good outlet for you. I'm sure it will help others who are struggling with the same problem too. I have another friend with the same thing. If you didn't know, I'm really into alternative medicines and have been studying it for a while. I don't know if you're interested or believe in those kinds of things, but I know of alot of women who have have had this who have had success using Red raspberry tea. It's full of vitamins and minerals that aid in cleansing and healing the female reproductive organs. It's widely available at health stores, or online. If you want any more info just shoot me an email. I've used it for a while along with other herbs for some problems I was having. I just thought I would put that out there. Love you. take care.
Halley,
This is such a great idea! It is also a great way to educate me about all you are going through. You are always in my thoughts!!
Halley, I just love you! You always look so happy and have a smile on your face. You inspire me. If there is ever anything I can do for you please don't hesitate.
