As the person who performs blood draws, it's totally normal to be scared. Drink lots of water a couple hours before you come in. 30 minutes before you come in, you can use a numbing cream on the inside of elbow. You can request a chair that leans back in case you were to pass out. And don't worry if you pass out, throw up or cry, lots of people do You're not alone and it's not embarrassing. They should also have juice, ice packs and hot packs available. Should you not feel well.

@hiddenrainbow12 Год назад

I have PCOS and have know since I was 14. Been on the hormonal pill ever since. I'm not looking to get pregnant right now, but it's crossed my mind that it might make that harder in the future. Just know that symptoms can be managed! ( a gyno said that for some it works to lose weight, low carb diet and aerobic exercise) ❤❤❤THOSE KITTENS ❤❤❤

@nikkis7375 Год назад

As someone with severe chronic illness yes it’s so nice to get an answer and a diagnosis because we already know we are sick in some way, putting a label on it means we can finally start fighting it however we possibly can and it brings a lot of us so much peace of mind to finally know what it is we’ve been dealing with for months to years. I knew every illness I had before I was diagnosed except lupus, that was a little surprise for me lol but it’s so nice to know your body and keep track of your symptoms, that has helped me a lot! ❤❤

That floatie-looking collar kills me, so cute 😭

@emmasavidge912 Год назад

Sending lots of love on the fertility journey. I’m a phlebotomist so I recommend letting your phleb know that it’s your first blood draw. When patients tell me that I make sure to walk them through the process so there are no surprises. Make sure to drink lots of water, the more hydrated you are the more your veins pop up. If you’re feeling really anxious ask them if you can lie down for your draw. I’m a fainter when I get my blood drawn so I always do that as a precaution and it keeps me from going down. Most importantly get yourself a treat afterwards cause blood draws are no fun!

@SF-op5ix Год назад

So glad you like your doctor and that your pcos was discovered and you were validated!

@whoami.24601 Год назад

Solidarity from another pcos girl! It's definitely a fun bag of mysteries. You will get used to the blood drawing, I promise! It's honestly, I think, mainly a habit thing. I've had to do it a lot because I got diagnosed very early with pcos and it just becomes routine eventually.

@1Michajela Год назад

As a person who's from a country with free health care, my brain stopped working when you said that you've never had your blood drawn. In my country whenever there's something wrong with you they always test your blood first.

@chandlerainsley Год назад

there's just never been anything wrong with me. blood tests are common here for sure :)

THE KITTENS!!! STOP, they are too cute

@Life.W.Walkinshaw Год назад

I went through this for years thinking I had PCOS but my doctors always said no you're fine when you are ready there shouldn't be any problems. But I got an IUD two years ago and had to get it out and it was confirmed that I did in fact have PCOS. So it was so awesome to know I'm not crazy as I was told for so long that I was wrong, but I was very happy knowing that I did know my body. So I'm so glad you have had a good experience with doctors and such... and it sounds like your very supported with them which is great :) I also really enjoyed offside lol I wasn't expecting anything crazy going into it but was pleasantly supposed !

@stephaniebookish Год назад

I also have PCOS and I felt the same about feeling validated because it explained a lot about my horrific symptoms lol! But I think it’s so easy to think these symptoms are normal while we’re growing up because periods are so taboo to openly discuss, so I really loved hearing your thoughts and you being so open 💗🥰

@alliewithbooks Год назад

I had the same feeling when I got diagnosed nearly 10 years ago like it was very validating to have my concerns and symptoms recognized for what they were/are. Glad you have some answers now!!

@GirlAboutLibrary Год назад

The PCOS gaslighting is very real. So glad you felt better after your appointment!

@UpAllNightReading Год назад

I also have PCOS. We did 3 IUIs that did not work, several medicated cycles with letroloze, and lots of testing. I had all normal results (from bloodwork, HSG and SSG) except we found out that I had very high prolactin. I ended up taking medication to lower the prolactin, in addition to prenatals, and myoinsitol which is an over the counter supplement to help with PCOS. I started running everyday and only ate whole foods and lower carbs than normal. After 27 months of trying and literally a week before my IVF consult, I found out I was pregnant with my son. I ended up getting pregnant with my daughter only 10 months postpartum and I now have an almost 2 year old and a 3 month old. If you havent tried lifestyle changes, I'd definitely recommend it! Stress, excerise, and food can greatly impact PCOS. Fingers crossed through this journey for you!

@chandlerainsley Год назад

i'm so happy those changes worked for you

@UpAllNightReading Год назад

@chandlerainsley Understood! I'll keep you both in my thoughts - infertility can be so hard. You're not alone on this journey 💙

As someone that has PCOS and a high possibility of having endo, thank you for speaking so freely about it. Also, sending you so many good thoughts your way with the IVF journey.

the cutest surprise ever

@StephanieLouise Год назад

I had to wait until I could emotionally handle fertility talks & whew it's now 😂 my daughter is our rainbow baby & she's 4. Incredibly healthy although my pregnancy was rough with hyperemis. PCOS is roughhh but girl - pain made me tough! My husband & Dr kept trying to tell me I needed to not feel miserable... But I was so used to it. Pathetic but true. We were married over a decade before she was finally born & she was worth the wait & the bs & the tests & the tears & all the things. Sending you all the vibes & 🤞 💜

@Lizreads15 Год назад

Awwww the kitties!!!! They’re so cute!!!!

@NatalieJ22 Год назад

I also have PCOS and I know you’re not looking for medical advice but I would highly recommend reading In The Flo. It talks all about how to live in tune with your hormone cycle for better hormonal health which is everything for PCOS and also can help a lot with fertility. Other than that I’d just really encourage you to do as much research as possible. Many doctors brush it off as just an irregular period thing but it’s a whole body condition and it’s super important to understand that. I’m glad everything generally went well though and best of luck going forward ❤

@kenziemabel Год назад

As someone who does blood draws, i promise its nothing to be worried about! I know its easier said than done, but it'll be over so quick and is pretty painless. Drink lots of water prior as being hydrated makes it easier, and just let them know youre nervous, they'll do whatever they can to make you comfy ❤️

@SarahEverMotionBooks Год назад

Blood draws can be hella scary. But trust me you will probably get very used to them. I've had several high risk pregnancies and the draw so much blood 😅 I think the record for me was 8 vials at once? From what I have been told a 'standard' pregnancy also has quite a few draws as well. My guess is you'll be somewhere in the middle. I can't wait to see how this goes for you guys, all the good thoughts and vibes you're way 🙏

The kittens omggg

@nikkis7375 Год назад

We rescue cats and kittens and we had a kitten who was completely deaf and someone adopted him and months later they told us that after taking antibiotics he’s actually not deaf he just had a horrible infection! So wild!! Rescuing means the world to me, but it sucks because we have lost so many cats and kittens because no one wants to rescue they want to go to breeders so there are so many feral babies dying from infections or killed by other animals and it breaks my heart every single time. 🥺💔

@Katiedora122 Год назад

My PCOS accidentally took a decade to diagnose even though I was already treating the symptoms and living life. Like in high school, my pediatrician was like "maybe it's this?", but nothing changed because it was after we'd sorted out the menstrual nonsense. But after changing doctors a few times as an adult, I met my current one and brought up the possibility of it, she was just WELL DUH. And of course as soon as that was squared away and I felt good, I turned 30 and immediately all my symptoms changed so I'm back to square one 😂

@arij5389 Год назад

I just realized it says "Fly... or die" on the cover of Fourth Wing lmao. Also new babies are very precious!

@bugwandis Год назад

I liked Carrie Soto, but I am a tennis fan and Carrie's rivalry with Nicki is based on a rivalry of my favourite player. I did read it thinking anyone who didn't like tennis would hate it though. I have PCOS and I was diagnosed when I was in my early 20s. I have the body hair issue and was tested at 16 (it is in my family) but I didn't have it then but I put on a lot of weight at uni several years later and was tested again and had it. I think it develops for most people in their 20s if you have developed it. Either way, I appreciate you talking about it, when I was diagnosed people didn't seem to talk about it.

@bugwandis Год назад

Also the kittens are adorable. 🥰

@ninithenoob900 Год назад

which rivalry? I'm curious

@bugwandis Год назад

@@ninithenoob900 It's loosely based on the Federer/Nadal rivalry in terms of stats. Federer was a 'beautiful' tennis player who won Wimbledon numerous times and held the slam record of 20 at 37 on the men's side. Nadal is 6 years younger than him and is a leftie who dominated clay only won twice at Wimbledon (which Carrie makes a comment about at one point) and caught and eventually broke Federer's slam total record.

I have PCOS too, so right here with you (and it seems a lot of other women in the comments!) I'm not currently trying but it has been a worry of mine that it may be difficult, so I appreciate you sharing your journey with us ❤️ I'm in the UK and doctors have been pretty unhelpful when it comes to treatment because they basically don't help unless you're trying to get pregnant... But I did have one hilarious interaction with a sonographer during an ultrasound: "don't worry about having PCOS, it's not a scary diagnosis - loads of women pay thousands to freeze their eggs, but your body is doing it for you for free!" 😂

What confuses me about Fourth Wing is that soooooooo many people who didn’t like ACOTR *loved* it. I was sold on it as ACOTR meets ASOIAF and I loved both, and I am struggling to finish Fourth Wing!!!

@chandlerainsley Год назад

i think for people who love lots of action Fourth Wing could trump some of SJM's books. but the SJM character dev is unmatched imo

@taylorgayhart9497 Год назад

@@chandlerainsleyagreed! I think that’s why ACOMAF is everyone’s favorite, it’s 95% character development and 5% action. I think I’m gonna wait on Fourth Wing, I’m reading some really *good* fantasy right now and I think part of the problem is comparison. Like the world building is just so bad in Fourth Wing, and when you’re reading Brandon Sanderson it’s just that much more obvious she hasn’t thought through this world at all!!!!
