#pcos stuff

[lurusciutelumare]

It’s kind of annoying how a lot of PCOS-related advice is about getting pregnant, tbh, because I honestly. Don’t care? At all? I may very well want children, one day, who the fuck knows, but if they don’t come from my own ovaries, well, big fucking deal. Won’t make them any less mine. I’m much more worried about being in constant pain, having trouble sleeping, and all the bullshit anxiety&mood swings put me through, to be honest :/

respectfully asking my followers to induce my period 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have a bunch of art and little writing snippets on the way!

Feeling super awful for not posting much and missing a march update post.

To make it short and vague, my health had a flare up and left me bedridden for a little bit, made me feel drained. My PCOS stuff is also acting up. Nothing too awful from all ends and I'm already feeling much better. ✨😌

I just want to get back to drawing and writing at this point. I've been resting with so many ideas swimming around my head. Mostly Panthalassa stuff, but also a bunch of stuff for another Interactive Fiction idea I've been brainstorming.

Having to wear underwear cause of your period when you know underwear actively worsens your hip pain and gives you sensory issues is hell. I wish I could just get rid of my period for good. There are days I do miss having like one period a year when I was 17 and 18. But everything else about my pcos and super high testoterone was literal hellish torture so like. Kinda can't return to being off estrogen just for the sake of it. My skin and moods and sleep schedule are atrocious when I'm not on my estrogen for my pcos. The way my moods and acne both especially stopped being as bad when I went on it was like- a difference of night and day lol. Like honestly. Wifey helped a lot with my moods, yes, but I gotta say a big part of being able to discern things better is definitely cause of the estrogen I'm on helping my pcos. My testosterone was HIGH and oh boy, combine that with traumatized child, autistic child, and sensitive child. Yeah. 💀💀💀 No wonder I was a little terror in my teen years.

Like when my birth control got messed up and it fucked up my hormones cause it was the wrong brand or type of whatever, I had to legitimately remind Mikey that if I was far more aggressive it was cause I didn't have my normal birth control. So essentially my hormones were fuuuuucked lol. I had so many angry outbursts honestly.

Doing research on pcos to see the ways it can affect me. And like. Wow. My face and belly I never even considered would be influenced by pcos. Like yeah my weight is. But having a moon face and the way my belly is can be related to pcos. Like aside from usually the obvious stuff (acne, weight gain, the occasional dark hairs on me, oily skin) I'm learning a lot about how it affects me. Like I already had a fair bit of knowledge on pcos before I was diagnosed cause Ray has pcos too and I learned about it from them.

But like learning stuff behind the generic diagnosis criteria and obvious signs I already knew is fascinating. Just figuring out how much it really affects my body is so fascinating and shocking. I've never really sat down to do a deep dive into it.

@skyheartstar13 (I can't tag you ahhhhh) I do have PCOS! It's a nightmare and birth control only helps with regularity, cysts, and severe cramps. I've tried different pills to help ease the flu like symptoms and migraines (these leave me bed ridden for 1-3 days usually, intense) but haven't found any that does, even the mini pill is useless in that regard. I'm actually seeing my doctor next month to talk about my other options and am considering an IUD. If I could just have my uterus and ovaries ripped out I would as I can't carry a pregnancy to term anyhow and the one child I have is all I want!
