Thank God for a Miracle!!!

Early this year I was in Bukidnon and consulted an Ob-Gyne regarding my irregular menstrual period. She came from St. Luke's Hospital and now managing their private hospital in Don Carlos, Bukidnon. I underwent an ultrasound and found out that I have cysts in both of my ovaries and have a thin endometrium.

When I came back to Manila, I had a second opinion at Makati Medical Center. Same results were found and the doctor says that there is nothing that we can do about Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) but to manage it since its incurable. And so I was given a hormonal pill to manage the disease and of course, prayers.

My Mom was so afraid because she was thinking that the cycsts could become a cancer. I too was afraid, although I didn't showed it to anyone even to my Mom. I have an untreatable disease, I lost a lot of hair, and the worst possibility was not to have a baby of my own and so I got a little depressed about it..well not a little...I was depressed.

Added to my worries is the pressure given to me by my relatives. Some of my aunties learned that I have a PCOD and they were telling my mom to tell me to get married so that I can have a baby because my chances of having one is getting smaller as I grow old.

Sus ginuu!!!! was all I can say whenever I would meet them and tell me to get married. Even my grandma was asking me (in a very serious tone while lying in her bed) to get married. Haaayy...tantanan na sana nila ako.

My Mom and I (sometimes, if available) would go every first Saturday of the month to the Church of the Lady of Mediatrix in Lipa, Batangas and in (I forgot the name of the church) Pink Sisters in Tagaytay to ask for a miracle. I'm not really religious and sometimes I doubt if miracles do happen. I even doubt sometimes if God really exists.

After three months of medication and prayers, I went to the doctor again. I was thinking of the worst possibilities and at the same time hoping that I would have positive results. And I did have positive results, there are no more cysts found in my right ovary and I now also have a normal endometrium. There's one more ovary with a necklace of cysts though. But thank GOD for the improvement!

Hopefully, when I go to the doctor again after three months I will be diagnosed without PCOD. There is a miracle!
