Today I got an email with a question Clay and I have thought about a few times but we aren't quite sure of the answer. The question was "Since you and Clay got preg 'on your own', does that mean the PCOS is all cleared up or is that something you will always have?"
This is how I answered:
"PCOS is an endocrine disorder… meaning it’s a hormone imbalance that results in the under-development of follicles… I didn’t have the right “mix” of hormones to promote proper and full mature growth of a follicle (egg) to get to ovulation. (therefore no ovulation and no period and no chance for baby)It is hard to say what my body will do after baby Brockman arrives. It will all depend on the function of my ovaries and other organs that produce the hormones to the “normal” mix… if they have it all figured out then I could be “normal” and ovulate on a regular cycle (thus essentially being fixed) or I could still need medical assistance (medication) to help regulate my hormones correctly and promote ovulation. Only time will tell after delivery and b-feeding ;o)"
In short it's one of those only time will tell questions. I hope that my body will have it all figured out.
